Bamboo rats (Rhizomys pruinosus) are among the few mammals that lives on a bamboo-based diet which is mainly composed of lignocellulose. However, the mechanisms of adaptation of their gut microbiome and metabolic systems in the degradation of lignocellulose are largely unknown. Here, we ...

A discovery-based lipid profiling study of serum samples from a cohort that included patients with clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma (ccRCC) stage I, II, III, and IV (n=112) and controls (n=52) was performed using ultraperformance liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole-time-of-flight mass spec...

The ultimate goal of surgical treatment in cancer is to remove the tumor mass for restoring a healthy state. A 16-lipid panel that discriminated healthy controls from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients in a prior study was evaluated in the present work in paired-serum samples collec...
