Cardiolipin (CL) is a phospholipid specific for mitochondrial membranes and crucial for many core tasks of this organelle. Its side chain configurations are tissue-specific, functionally important and generated via post-biosynthetic remodeling. However, this process lacks the necessary specificit...
Sex is a fundamental biological variable important in biomedical research, drug development, clinical trials, and prevention approaches. Among many organs, kidneys are known to exhibit remarkable structural, histological, and pathological differences between sexes. However, whether and how kidney...
The gut microbiota is increasingly recognized as an important mediator of the systemic effects of dietary polysaccharides, but how microbiota remodeling is associated with host metabolic responses remains poorly understood. Here, we investigated hepatic metabolic remodeling associated with the im...
Untargeted metabolomics was performed on colon tissue from 26 C57BL/6 mice to investigate metabolic mechanisms underlying Rothia mucilaginosa-mediated constipation alleviation. Mice were divided into normal control (NC, n=8), loperamide-induced constipation model control (MC, n=8), and R. mucilag...
Neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine [5-HT]) has emerged to play parallel roles in both neurobiology and oncology. Apart from receptor-mediated signaling transduction pattern, serotonin can be covalently integrated into histone (the post-translational modification known as histone sero...
Upon penetrating the basement membrane, breast cancer cells directly interact with their surrounding adipose tissue, which forms a unique tumor-associated adipose microenvironment (TAME). However, the underlying mechanism involved in the regulation of lipid metabolic remodeling in the TAME remain...
