MetabolomicsTargeting methionine synthase in a fungal pathogen causes a metabolic imbalance that impacts cell energetics, growth and virulence
There is an urgent need to develop novel antifungals to tackle the threat that fungal pathogens pose to human health. In this work, we have performed a thorough characterisation and validation of the promising target methionine synthase. We have uncovered that in Aspergillus fumigatus the absence of...

MetabolomicsFlow cytometry has a significant impact on the cellular metabolome (GC-MS assay)
The characterization of specialized cell subpopulations in a heterogeneous tissue is essential for understanding organ function in health and disease. A popular method of cell isolation is fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) based on probes that bind surface or intracellular markers. In this ...

MetabolomicsIn plaque-mass spectrometry imaging of a bloom-forming alga during viral infection reveals a metabolic shift towards odd-chain fatty acid lipids (GC- and LC-MS assays)

Tapping into the metabolic cross-talk between a host and its virus can reveal unique strategies employed during infection. Viral infection is a dynamic process that generates an evolving metabolic landscape. Gaining a continuous view into the infection process is highly challenging and is limited...

MetabolomicsLipopolysaccharides from Ralstonia solanacearum induce a broad metabolomic response in Solanum lycopersicum

Ralstonia solanacearum, one of the most destructive crop pathogens worldwide, causes bacterial wilt disease in a wide range of host plants. The major component of the outer membrane of Gram-negative bacteria, lipopolysaccharides (LPS), has been shown to function as elicitors of plant defense lead...

MetabolomicsEx-Vivo Equine Cartilage Explant Osteoarthritis Model - A Metabolomics and Proteomics Study
Osteoarthritis (OA) is an age-related degenerative musculoskeletal disease characterised by loss of articular cartilage, synovitis, abnormal bone proliferation and subchondral bone sclerosis. Underlying OA pathogenesis is yet to be fully elucidated with no OA specific biomarkers in clinical use. Ex-...

MetabolomicsA conserved metabolic signature associated with response to fast-acting antimalarial agents

Characterizing the mode of action of antimalarial compounds that emerge from high-throughput phenotypic screens is central to understanding how parasite resistance to these drugs can emerge. Here, we have employed untargeted metabolomics to inform on the mechanism of action of antimalarial leads ...

MetabolomicsMetabolic phenotyping of urine from a dementia research cohort
To better understand the molecular mechanisms underpinning physiological variation in human populations, metabolic phenotyping approaches are increasingly being applied to studies involving hundreds and thousands of biofluid samples. Hyphenated ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectromet...

MetabolomicsA Metabolic Profiling Strategy for the Dissection of Plant Defense against Fungal Pathogens (GC-MS assay)
Here we present a metabolic profiling strategy employing direct infusion Orbitrap mass spectrometry (MS) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) for the monitoring of soybean's (Glycine max L.) global metabolism regulation in response to Rhizoctonia solani infection in a time-course. Key el...

MetabolomicsA Transferable Workflow for Confident Annotation of Polar Analytes in 4D-Metabolomics
Introduction High-confidence annotation of polar metabolites remains a central challenge in non-targeted metabolomics. While derivatization improves chromatographic retention and ionization of derivatized compounds, it changes the molecules, making annotation using conventional annotation workflows ...

MetabolomicsUntargeted LC-HRMS Based-Plasma Metabolomics Reveals 3-O-Methyldopa as a New Biomarker of Poor Prognosis in High-Risk Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial malignant tumor in children. Although the survival rate of NB has improved over the years, the outcome of NB still remains poor for over 30% of cases. A more accurate risk stratification remains a key point in the study of NB and the availability of...
