Background: Lupus nephritis (LN) is a severe complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), underscoring an urgent need for non-invasive diagnostic biomarkers. 

Objective: This study aimed to define the metabolomic signature of urinary e...

BACKGROUND: The protozoan parasite Toxoplasma gondii infects and alters the neurotransmission in cerebral cortex and other brain regions, leading to neurobehavioral and neuropathologic changes in humans and animals. However, the molecules that contribute to these changes remain l...

Arterial stiffening is a hallmark of early vascular aging (EVA) syndrome and an independent predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. In this case-control study we sought to identify plasma metabolites associated with EVA syndrome in the setting of hypertension. An untargeted metabolom...

Cross-talk among downstream regulatory networks of genome mutations has been the major hypothetical mechanism underlying poor prognosis and low-responsive rates for targeted therapy of pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). By applying a causal inference-based mutation-upstream-of-the-metabolom...

Characterizing the mode of action of antimalarial compounds that emerge from high-throughput phenotypic screens is central to understanding how parasite resistance to these drugs can emerge. Here, we have employed untargeted metabolomics to inform on the mechanism of action of antimalarial leads ...
