Consumption of sugar-rich diets adversely affects health and reduces life expectancy through the excessive production and storage of triacylglycerides (TAGs) leading to metabolic dysfunction. Here, using Drosophila melanogaster, we identify the conserved Ras/MAPK signalling pathway as a key media...

Introduction. Toxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular parasite with an exceptional capacity to colonize a broad range of host species and cell types. Successful infection depends on its ability to manipulate host metabolism, including lipid pathways that are essential for membrane biogenes...

EMT is a metastasis-promoting process whose heterogeneity has been extensively studied at a gene expression level. EMT also involves reprogramming of lipid metabolism, however there has been little focus on heterogeneity on the lipid level. Here, we use MALDI-MSI to determine the levels of variou...

Toxocariasis, mainly caused by Toxocara canis, and to a lesser extent, Toxocara cati, is a neglected parasitic zoonosis. The mechanisms that underlie the changes in lipid metabolism of T. canis infection in Beagle dogs' lungs remain unclear. Lipidomics is a rapidly emer...

Oil-tea Camellia is a promising woody oil crop that has been widely used as a cooking oil, lubricant, and cosmetics. However, there is a lack of dominant varieties suitable for high-altitude cold mountainous regions. Camellia weiningensis (C. weiningensis) is the only h...

AIM: The role of lipids in periodontitis has not been well studied. Thus, this study aimed to explore periodontitis-associated lipid profile changes and identify differentially expressed lipid metabolites in gingival tissues.

MATERIALS AND METHODS: Gingival...
