Bulk high-resolution mass spectrometry can provide sensitive and global snapshots of metabolites involved in cancer metabolism. However, intra-tumor heterogeneity (IntraTH) convolutes the cellular origins and tumor pathologies associated with the detected metabolites, thus making the elucidation ...

Endometrial diseases are common gynecological diseases that disorder women of childbearing age and perimenopausal women, including endometrial polyps (EP), endometrial cancer (EC), and endometrial hyperplasia (EH). Clinically, biopsy or imaging methods are usually used to screen and diagnose...

Cancer cells exhibit metabolic plasticity to meet oncogene-driven dependencies while coping with nutrient availability. A better understanding of how systemic metabolism impacts the accumulation of metabolites that reprogram the tumor microenvironment and drive cancer could facilitate development...

Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is the most common kidney malignancy. Yet, no rapid, non-invasive biomarkers are available for diagnosis or screening. Urine represents an ideal analyte matrix due to its accessibility, low invasiveness, longitudinal sampling and the kidney’s central role i...

Three-dimensional (3D) cell culture technologies, which more closely mimic the complex microenvironment of tissue, are being increasingly evaluated as a tool for the preclinical screening of clinically promising new molecules, and studying of tissue metabolism. Studies of metabolites released int...

Background: Amanita poisoning causes 90-95% of global mushroom-related deaths, yet early prognostic biomarkers for Amanita poisoning are lacking.

Methods: 33 patients with Amanita poisoning were recruited and categorized into survival and death group. Multi...

Lung cancer (LC) is still one of the most deadly cancers in the world, but there is a lack of non-invasive biomarkers to assist diagnosis and guide treatment. Herein, untargeted serum metabolomics of 57 LC patients and 59 HC people was performed based on gas chromatography-mass spectrography (GC-...

BACKGROUND: The pathological and physiological characteristics between HBsAg-positive HBV infection and occult hepatitis B infection (OBI) are currently unclear. This study aimed to explore the immune microenvironment in the peripheral circulation of OBI patients through integration of proteomic ...
