Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technologies, which more closely mimic the complex microenvironment of tissue, are being increasingly evaluated as a tool for the preclinical screening of clinically promising new molecules, and studying of tissue metabolism. Studies of metabolites released int...
Breast cancer metastasis occurs via blood and lymphatic vessels. Breast cancer cells 'educate' lymphatic endothelial cells (LECs) to support tumor vascularization and growth. However, despite known metabolic alterations in breast cancer, it remains unclear how lymphatic endothelial cell metabolis...
INTRODUCTION: A decline in mitochondrial function represents a key factor of a large number of inborn errors of metabolism, which lead to an extremely heterogeneous group of disorders.
OBJECTIVES: To gain insight into the biochemical consequences of mitocho...
Research Question: Can metabolomic profiling of blastocyst spent culture medium (SCM) serve as a non-invasive tool to predict live birth?
Design: This pilot study investigated the association between metabolite profiles in SCM and clinical outcomes following single blastocyst transfer. Seve...
One of the major bottlenecks in describing marine ecosystems is characterizing the metabolome of seawater, as salt prevents metabolite analysis. We present SeaMet, a method that can detect hundreds of metabolites in less than one ml of seawater and quantifies them down to nano-molar levels using ...
Osteocytes could release some small molecules (≤ 1 kDa) through gap junctions and hemichannels to extracellular environment, such as prostaglandin E2 (PGE2), nitric oxide (NO) and adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which play key roles in transferring signals between bone cells and other tissue cells....
Epichloë sinensis, associated with Festuca sinensis, exhibits rich morphological, genetic and functional diversity across different strains. To comprehensively evaluate the categories and difference in the secondary metabolites of different E. sinensis strains and thereby...
This study employed untargeted metabolomics detection combined with bioinformatics analysis to investigate the metabolites from the co-culture of Acinetobacter lwoffiiand cervical precancerous cells ECT1/E6E7. A. lwoffiiwas co-cultured with ECT1/E6E7 cells at an MOI of 100. The culture supernatan...
