Single-cell metabolomics reveals cell heterogeneity and elucidates intracellular molecular mechanisms. However, general concentration measurement of metabolites can only provide a static delineation of metabolomics, lacking the metabolic activity information of biological pathways. Herein, we dev...
Maintaining the integrity of the mucus layer is essential for host health. Studies have implicated that reduced or abnormal mucus production may lead to intestinal inflammation. When dietary nutrients are abundant in the gut, mucin degradation by microbes decreases. However, when nutrient availab...
Genetic interactions are fundamental to the architecture of complex traits, yet the molecular mechanisms by which variant combinations influence cellular pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we answer the question of whether interactions between genetic variants can activate unique pathways a...
Disruption of organelle interactions due to metabolic stress is a crucial factor in the pathological processes of many degenerative diseases. Current treatments usually focus on individual organelles while ignoring the role of organelle interactions in cell damage caused by cascade reactions. The...
PURPOSE: Olfactory dysfunction (OD) is a debilitating symptom frequently reported by patients with chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) and it is associated with a dysregulated sinonasal inflammation. However, little information is available about the effect of the inflammation-related n...
Proteus mirabilis, a key catheter-associated urinary tract infection pathogen that forms antibiotic-resistant crystalline biofilms, was shown via multi-omics analyses to be multimodally inhibited by succinic acid. At 15 mM, succinic acid reduced the bacterium’s growth by 70% and biofilm formation...
Chemistry in eukaryotic intercellular spaces is shaped by both hosts and symbiotic microorganisms such as bacteria. Pathogenic microorganisms like barley associated Xanthomonas translucens (Xt) swiftly overtake the inner leaf tissue becoming the dominant microbial community member during disease ...
