Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is an aggressive disease with a high relapse rate. In this study, we map the metabolic profile of CD34+(CD38low/-) AML cells and the extracellular vesicle signatures in circulation from AML patients at diagnosis. CD34+ AML cells display high antioxidant glutathione le...
Gastrointestinal bacteria interact with the host and each other through various mechanisms, including the production of extracellular vesicles (EVs). However, the composition and potential roles of EVs released by gut archaea are poorly understood. Here, we study EVs produced by four strains of h...
Selective autophagy of mitochondria is known to promote survival and progression of cancer cells in various malignancies, including triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Here, we investigate the essential metabolic adaptations that support mitochondrial quality control in cancer cells with the ai...
Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation (FAO) is essential for hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) self-renewal; however, the mechanism by which mitochondrial metabolism controls HSC fate remains unknown. Here, we show that within the hematopoietic lineage, HSCs have the largest mitochondrial NADPH pools, w...

Extracellular membrane vesicles (EMVs) are produced by many Gram-positive organisms, but information regarding vesiculogenesis is incomplete. We used single gene deletions to evaluate the impacts on Streptococcus mutans EMV biogenesis of Sortase A (SrtA), which affects S. mutans...
To identify the potential iWAT-derived adipokines that regulate intestinal IgA biosynthesis, we conducted untargeted metabolomics in the serum of iFR and iSham mice. A total of 214 differential abundant metabolites were identified (log2FC >1 or <-1 and adjusted p-value <0.05) between the...
Progestins are ubiquitous in aquatic environments, with adverse effects on aquatic organisms' reproduction even at extremely low concentrations (0.8 ng/L). As female germ cells, oocytes play an irreplaceable role in organismal reproductive processes. However, the toxic mechanism of norgestrel (NG...
