Summary

Primary cilia are key sensory organelles whose dysfunction leads to ciliopathy disorders such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS). Retinal degeneration is common in ciliopathies, since the outer segments (OSs) of photoreceptors are highly specialized primary cilia. BBS...

Background: Cell line specific, genome-scale metabolic models enable rigorous and systematic in silico investigation of cellular metabolism. Such models have recently become available for Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) too. However, a key ingredient, namely an experimentally validat...

To counter projected reductions in yields of the major crop barley, it is essential to elucidate the mechanisms of its resilience. To assist such efforts, we collected grains from plants grown in fields at 12 testing stations, with suitable temperature and precipitation gradients for identifying ...

BACKGROUND: Multiple myeloma is characterized by clonal proliferation of malignant plasma cells in the bone marrow that produce monoclonal immunoglobulins. N-glycosylation changes of these monoclonal immunoglobulins have been reported in multiple myeloma, but previous studies on...

Human gut microbiota produce a variety of molecules, some of which enter the bloodstream and impact health. Conversely, dietary or pharmacological compounds may affect the microbiota before entering the circulation. Characterization of these interactions is an important step towards understanding...

BACKGROUND & AIMS: The cause of Crohn's disease (CD) is unknown, but the current hypothesis is that microbial or environmental factors induce gut inflammation in genetically susceptible individuals, leading to chronic intestinal inflammation. Case-control studies of patients...

Background

This study evaluated the impact of different cooking methods (air frying, grilling, oven baking, and microwave cooking) on the chemical profile of chickpea-based burgers. For this purpose, an untargeted metabolomics approach was employed using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled ...
