Sebum is a biofluid excreted by sebaceous glands in the skin. In recent years sebum has been shown to contain endogenous metabolites diagnostic of disease, with remarkable results for Parkinson’s Disease. Given that sebum sampling is facile and non-invasive, its potential for use in clinical bioc...
BACKGROUND: Stool metabolites provide essential insights into the function of the gut microbiome. The current gold standard for storage of stool samples for metabolomics is flash-freezing at - 80 °C which can be inconvenient and expensive. Ambient temperature storage of stool is ...
Platelet storage lesion (PSL) is a critical factor limiting the efficacy of platelet transfusion. Although hypothermic (4°C) storage is considered beneficial for maintaining platelet function, the underlying mechanisms of systemic metabolic reprogramming remain incompletely understood. This study...
Internal quality of chicken eggs deteriorates during storage, but the biochemical changes occurring in albumen and yolk over storage time remain insufficiently characterized. This study investigated changes in internal quality traits and specific metabolite profiles in albumen and yolk of chicken...
Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) has become a standard technology in metabolomics. In particular, label-free quantification based on LC-MS is easily amenable to large-scale studies and thus well suited to clinical metabolomics. Large-scale studies, however, require autom...
