INTRODUCTION: The study of natural variation of metabolites brings valuable information on the physiological state of the organisms as well as their phenotypic traits. In marine organisms, metabolome variability has mostly been addressed through targeted studies on metabolites of...
In this era of precision medicine, there is an increasingly urgent need for highly sensitive tests for detecting tumors such as colon cancer (CC), a silent disease where the first symptoms may take 10-15 yr to appear. Mass spectrometry-based lipidomics is an emerging tool for such clinical diagno...
BACKGROUND: Endometriosis is a common benign gynaecological disorder. A number of studies have confirmed that the occurrence of disease in endometriosis patients is associated with metabolic changes in biological fluids and tissues. We set out to investigate the metabolic charact...
