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...
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: The microbiota dysfunction aggravated the severity of acute pancreatitis (AP), but the relationship between microbiota dysfunction and metabolites alteration was not fully explained. This study aimed to explore the crosstalk between microbiota and metaboli...
The rising global prevalence of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD), including its severe form metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), underscores the urgency to elucidate its pathophysiology. To investigate key metabolic interactions central to MASLD...
Plants integrate light signals to regulate development and produce protective compounds such as flavonoids under excessive light stress. While these metabolites protect against light damage, their roles in modulating photoreceptor responses remain unclear. Here we show that naringenin chalcone (N...
The NLRP3 inflammasome is critical for host defense against bacterial infection and is involved in the pathogenesis of various inflammatory diseases. The aggregation of its sensor protein NLRP3 is a pivotal checkpoint for inflammasome activation. Howev...
