Small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) have been extensively investigated as a source of clinically relevant cargo. Alongside the secretion of EVs, such as exosomes, cells house a multitude of internal vesicles involved in various physiologic processes and metabolic activities. Herein, we developed ...

To investigate the metabolism and bioconversion of hexadecane in J31 cells, 13C-labeled hexadecane was added to the OM medium, and the intracellular flow of hexadecane in J31 cells was analyzed using the stable isotope technique via non-target metabolomics. study abstract/description

Salmonella Typhimurium establishes systemic infection by replicating in host macrophages. Here we show that macrophages infected with S. Typhimurium exhibit upregulated glycolysis and decreased serine synthesis, leading to accumulation of glycolytic intermediates. The effects on...

Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...

Metabolic dysfunction is a primary feature of Werner syndrome (WS), a human premature aging disease caused by mutations in the gene encoding the Werner (WRN) DNA helicase. WS patients exhibit severe metabolic phenotypes, but the underlying mechanisms are not understood, and whether the metabolic ...

Background: The lifetime prevalence of acute urticaria is approximately 20%. Although electroacupuncture (EA) has been investigated as an adjunctive treatment for urticaria, the molecular mechanisms underlying these effects remain elusive. Passive cutaneous anaphylaxis (PCA) serves as an experime...
