Progressive multiple sclerosis (PMS) is currently diagnosed retrospectively. Here, we work towards a set of biomarkers that could assist in early diagnosis of PMS. A selection of cerebrospinal fluid metabolites (n=15) was shown to differentiate between PMS and its preceding phenotype in an indepe...
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) exacerbations significantly contribute to morbidity and mortality. The complex nature of COPD presents challenges in accurately predicting and understanding frequent exacerbations.

Introduction: The degree of antimicrobial resistance demonstrated by carbapenemase-producing Enterobacteriaceae (CPE) represents a growing public health challenge. Conventional methods for detecting CPE involve culture-based techniques with lengthy incubation steps. There is a ne...
Integrative taxonomy is a fundamental part of biodiversity and combines traditional morphology with additional methods such as DNA sequencing or biochemistry. Here, we aim to establish untargeted metabolomics for use in chemotaxonomy. We used three thallose liverwort species Riccia glauca
Long-term low-dose ionizing radiation (LLIR) widely exists in human life and has been confirmed to have potential pathogenic effects on cancer and cardiovascular diseases. However, it is technically and ethically unfeasible to explore LLIR-induced phenotypic changes in the human cohort, leading t...
