Urine metabolomics is widely used for biomarker research in the fields of medicine and toxicology. As a consequence, characterization of the variations of the urine metabolome under basal conditions becomes critical in order to avoid confounding effects in cohort studies. Such physiological infor...
Background. Hyperuricemia is the second most prevalent metabolic disorder globally and exhibits pronounced heterogeneity in clinical practice. Only about 10% of individuals with asymptomatic hyperuricemia (HUA) progress to gout, yet the lack of specific biomarkers and precise therapeutic targets ...
INTRODUCTION: Because of its ease of collection, urine is one of the most commonly used matrices for metabolomics studies. However, unlike other biofluids, urine exhibits tremendous variability that can introduce confounding inconsistency during result interpretation. Despite man...
A transmission mode-direct analysis in real time-quadrupole time of flight-mass spectrometry (TM-DART-QTOF-MS)-based analytical method coupled to multivariate statistical analysis was developed to interrogate lipophilic compounds in seawater samples without the need of desalin...
Limoniastrum monopetalum is a halophytic plant traditionally used in folk medicine for its purported antioxidant, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory properties. However, its chemical composition and bioactive constituents remain insufficiently characterized. In this study, we employed an untarg...
Systems biology is the study of complex living organisms, and as such, analysis on a systems-wide scale involves the collection of information-dense data sets that are representative of an entire phenotype. To uncover dynamic biological mechanisms, bioinformatics tools have become essential to fa...
