Acute febrile illnesses are still a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally, particularly in low to middle income countries. The aim of this study was to determine any possible metabolic commonalities of patients infected with disparate pathogens that cause fever. Three liquid chromatogra...

INTRODUCTION: Since the beginning of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic in December 2019 multiple metabolomics studies have proposed predictive biomarkers of infection severity and outcome. Whilst some trends have emerged, the findings remain intangible and uninformative when it comes to n...

This study applied serum metabolomics to compare patients with cerebral infarction (n=10) and controls (n=10). A total of 3,160 metabolites were identified, with distinct class distributions between groups. Cerebral infarction patients showed elevated benzene derivatives, organic acids, and bile ...

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...

To investigate the metabolites and pathways modulated by BCG in RANKL-differentiated macrophages, thereby elucidating the metabolic mechanisms underlying BCG-induced macrophage activation, BMMs were stimulated with 50 ng/mL RANKL for 5 days to generate osteoclast-like cells. Subsequently, one gro...

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...
