Regular consumption of fat and refined carbohydrates induces metabolic stress, increasing chronic metabolic disease risk. In healthy volunteers, we characterised the response to a high-fat/high-carbohydrate meal (HFHCM), typical of an ultra-processed food, by proteomic and metabolomics analyses, ...
Cancer immunotherapy utilizing cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTLs) has demonstrated significant promise in clinical applications, but cancer immunosuppressive mechanisms hamper further progress in T cell immunotherapy. Here we show a correlation between cancer cell mitochondria content and their resis...
Genetic interactions are fundamental to the architecture of complex traits, yet the molecular mechanisms by which variant combinations influence cellular pathways remain poorly understood. Here, we answer the question of whether interactions between genetic variants can activate unique pathways a...
Seed aging leads to reduced germination rates and vigor, particularly under stress conditions. We subjected aged maize seeds to 40 seconds of ultrasonic treatment, which enhanced their vigor and tolerance to combined stress. The ultrasonic treatment increased more cracks and holes in the seed coa...
Multiple myeloma (MM) remains an incurable hematologic malignancy despite advances in treatment. While obesity is a well-established risk factor, the underlying metabolic mechanisms by which adipocytes contribute to disease progression remain elusive. Here, we uncover a critical m...
Acute febrile illnesses are still a major cause of mortality and morbidity globally, particularly in low to middle income countries. The aim of this study was to determine any possible metabolic commonalities of patients infected with disparate pathogens that cause fever. Three liquid chromatogra...
