Toxoplasma uses metal nutrients like iron and copper for vital functions in their energy metabolism. Here, we have used stable isotope labelling to track the incorporation of glucose and glutamine into metabolic pathways, primarily focusing on central carbon metabolism, when these metals are disr...
System-wide metabolic homeostasis is crucial for maintaining physiological functions of living organisms. Stable-isotope tracing metabolomics allows to unravel metabolic activity quantitatively by measuring the isotopically labeled metabolites, but has been largely restricted by coverage. Yet, de...
Pathogenic bacteria proliferating inside mammalian host cells need to rapidly adapt to the intracellular environment. How they achieve this and scavenge essential nutrients from the host has been an open question due to the difficulties in distinguishing between bacterial and host metabolites
