Folates participate in the one-carbon metabolism (OCM) cycle, supporting many biochemical pathways. Existing methods to profile folate are limited in the diversity of vitamers they measure and the samples they profile. We present a metabolomics workflow for stable extraction, separation, and meas...
BACKGROUND: SLE is a complex autoimmune disease with deleterious effects on various organs. Accumulating evidence has shown abnormal vitamin B12 and one-carbon flux contribute to immune dysfunction. Transcobalamin II (TCN2) belongs to the vitamin B12-binding protein family respon...
Maternal folic acid intake is crucial for the development of the offspring's nervous system, and folic acid metabolism disorders during pregnancy lead to neural tube defects (NTDs) in the fetus. Folic acid and vitamins biosynthesis is a major biochemical feature of gut microbiota. The complex and...
Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) refers to nervous system damage caused by perinatal hypoxia, which is the major cause of long-term neuro-developmental disorders in surviving infants. However, the mechanisms still require further investigation. In this study, we found that the butan...
