Untargeted metabolomics is a popular method by which researchers measure a large portion of the metabolites present in a biological system at once. This approach usually results in complex data sets containing tens to hundreds of thousands of observations whi...
Cytochrome P450 (CYP) enzymes are crucial for drug metabolism, yet inter-individual variability in their activity remains a significant clinical challenge. Current phenotyping methods are often impractical or even impossible, particularly in forensic toxicology and vulnerable populations. This pr...
CD8+ T cells detect and kill virally infected or cancerous cells. When activated from their naïve state, T cells undergo a complex transition, including major metabolic reprogramming. Detailed resolution of metabolic dynamics of a wide range of metabolites is needed to advance the field of immuno...
The bacterium Roseburia inulinivorans harbors enzymes predicted to be involved in coenzyme A (CoA) metabolism. To experimentally validate the source of pantetheine, we performed an in vitro co-culture of R. inulinivorans with CoA and analyzed metabolomic profiles. The results demonstrated a signi...
Bibenzyls are a specialized metabolite class found throughout the plant kingdom. One of the most prolific producers of bibenzyls are liverworts, specifically plants of the Radula genera. These plants possess an incredible diversity of bibenzyls, prenylated bibenzyls and a few (bis)bibenz...
Subspecies of the protozoan parasite Trypanosoma brucei are the causative agents of Human African Trypanosomiasis (HAT), a debilitating neglected tropical disease prevalent across sub-Saharan Africa. HAT case numbers have steadily decreased since the start of the century, and sustainable...
