Despite untargeted LC-MS/MS data being a powerful approach for large-scale metabolomics analysis, a significant challenge in the field lies in the reproducible and efficient analysis of such data, in particular. The power of R-based analysis workflows lies in their high customizability and adapta...
Introduction: The degree of antimicrobial resistance demonstrated by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) represents a growing public health challenge. Conventional methods for detecting CPE involve culture-based techniques with lengthy incubation steps. There is a ne...
Human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRECs) were transfected with lentivirus encoding either KIF11-targeting shRNA or a non-targeting control. KIF11-depleted and control cells were then subjected to lipid extraction followed by LC–MS/MS–based targeted analysis of ferroptosis-associated phosp...
The global type 2 diabetes epidemic is a major health crisis and there is a critical need for innovative strategies to fight it. Although the microbiome plays important roles in the onset of insulin resistance (IR) and low-grade inflammation, the microbial compounds regulating these phenomena rem...
Metabolites in human biofluids reflect individual physiological body states influenced by various factors. Using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), we conducted non-targeted, non-invasive, comprehensive metabolomics using saliva of 27 healthy volunteers in Okinawa, consisting of 13 ...
