The silkworm (Bombyx mori) is an economically important insect and a lepidopteran model organism. Controlling viral infections is crucial for the sustainable development of sericulture. Bombyx mori nucleopolyhedrovirus (BmNPV) infection can cause large-scale mortality in silkworm populations. Ins...
Sepsis, defined as life-threatening organ dysfunction caused by infection is difficult to distinguish clinically from infection or post-operative inflammation. We hypothesized that in a heterogeneous group of critically ill children, there would be different metabolic profiles between post-operat...
Flavivirus infection is tightly connected to host lipid metabolism. Here, we performed shotgun lipidomics of cells infected with neurotropic Zika, West Nile and tick-borne encephalitis viruses, as well as dengue and yellow fever virus. Early in infection specific lipids accumulated, e.g., neutral...
