The Chinese caterpillar fungus, Ophiocordyceps sinensis, is a valuable medicinal entomopathogenic fungus, but artificial cultivation is hindered by fruiting body abortion, severely impacting yield and quality. The interactions between the fungus, its host insects, and soil are critical for its de...
In large-scale poultry farming, broilers of the same breed share a common genetic background and identical management conditions, yet substantial individual variation in body weight persists. In this study, we identified distinct plasma proteomic profiles between high and low weight broilers, wit...
Background: To investigate biomarker differences among patients with metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) across body mass index (BMI) types, we analyzed clinical data from 2,013 subjects and serum samples from 402 patients. The clinical characteristic...
Urine metabolomics is widely used for biomarker research in the fields of medicine and toxicology. As a consequence, characterization of the variations of the urine metabolome under basal conditions becomes critical in order to avoid confounding effects in cohort studies. Such physiological infor...
