Research reveals the modulatory effect of anti-inflammatory metabolite on immune cells

Researchers have revealed the modulatory effect of the anti-inflammatory metabolite itaconate on T helper and T regulatory cells, which may lead to new therapeutic approaches to treating some autoimmune diseases.

Age and sex determine the effects of microbiota on mice's metabolome

The gut handles all ingested foods for further digestion and assimilation. In addition, it harbors a wealth of microbes that produce metabolic byproducts with multiple effects on host physiology. Therefore, changes in the gut microbiome's composition can shift the gut's metabolome as well.

Study identifies link between oral and gut microbiomes and depression

Researchers investigate the role of the oral-gut-brain axis in anxiety and depression.

Understanding how cells adjust in real time to withstand stresses on our health

Every minute of every day, our body adapts to meet the needs of each moment. When we binge on carbs, exercise, or become sick, chemical reactions inside our cells switch on, slow down, or shift strategy so that we have the energy and strength we need.

Connection between mitochondrial metabolite and activation of inflammatory response revealed

A new study shows for the first time a connection between a mitochondrial metabolite and the activation of an inflammatory response.

The effect of strawberry, blueberry, and strawberry-blueberry blend decoction-based functional beverages on obesity-related metabolic alterations

Researchers evaluated whether polyphenol-rich strawberry and blueberry decoction-based functional beverages could prevent obesity or related metabolic alterations in high-fat and high-fructose diet-fed rats.

Using vitamin B5 supplementation to boost red blood cell production in people with myelodysplastic syndromes

Scientists from Barts Cancer Institute at Queen Mary University of London and the Francis Crick Institute, have uncovered why patients with a rare type of blood cancer suffer from ineffective red blood cell production, and how vitamin B5 could be combined with existing drugs to improve outcomes.

The rapid diagnosis of drug-resistant and drug-sensitive tuberculosis using mass spectrometry and machine learning

In a recent study posted to the Preprints with The Lancet SSRN* server, a team of researchers in China developed a machine learning-based diagnostic tool to detect tuberculosis and drug-resistant tuberculosis using nanoparticle-enhanced laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (NPELDI MS) to determine metabolic fingerprints from serum samples.

Different cellular building blocks are not produced at the same time, research shows

Textbooks will tell you that in dividing cells, the production of new DNA peaks during the S-phase, while production of other macromolecules, such as proteins, lipids, and polysaccharides, continues at more or less the same level.

Can the gut microbiota and metabolome explain variation in anti-SARS-CoV-2 vaccination responses in immunosuppressed IBD patients?

Researchers explored the connection between the metabolic function of the gut microbiota, its composition, and immune response to SARS-CoV-2 vaccination in IBD patients.

27 Feb 2023

Difference between human and mouse lung tumor cells explains the discrepancy in cancer drug results

A small but significant metabolic difference between human and mouse lung tumor cells, has been discovered by Weill Cornell Medicine researchers, explaining a discrepancy in previous study results, and pointing toward new strategies for developing cancer treatments.
