Colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits profound molecular heterogeneity based on primary tumor location. A comprehensive understanding of the spatially resolved metabolic differences between right-sided (RCC) and left-sided (LCC) carcinomas remains elusive. Here, to eliminate the influence of inter-ind...
Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) in sedimentary archives can produce records of molecular proxies at μm-scale resolution. For example, in annually varved sediments of the Santa Barbara Basin, such a fine resolution allows deciphering sub-annual distributions of archaeal tetraether lipids, haptophy...
A hallmark of animals is the coordination of whole-body movement. Neurons and muscles are central to this; yet, coordinated movements also exist in sponges that lack these cell types. Sponges are sessile animals with a complex canal system for filter-feeding. They undergo whole-body movements res...
BACKGROUND: Reptiles exhibit a wide variety of skin colors, which serve essential roles in survival and reproduction. However, the molecular basis of these conspicuous colors remains unresolved.
RESULTS: We investigate color morph-enriched Asian vine snakes...
A more complete and holistic view on host–microbe interactions is needed to understand the physiological and cellular barriers that affect the efficacy of drug treatments and allow the discovery and development of new therapeutics. Here, we developed a multimodal imaging approach combining histop...
Hepatic steatosis is the initial manifestation of abnormal liver functions and often leads to liver diseases such as non-alcoholic fatty liver disease in humans and fatty liver syndrome in animals. In this study, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of a large chicken population consisting of 70...
