Objective: Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) is an aggressive from of breast cancer and is associated with poor prognosis. Tumor microenvironment of breast cancer consists of a wide range of cell types, including tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs). Accumulating evidence indicate that TILs play a crucial role in cancer progression and resistance to standard chemotherapy.

Being a heterogeneous metabolic condition, it is pertinent to understand the metabolites and metabolic pathways that are altered during the development and progression of IR toward T2DM. Serum samples were collected from C57BL/6J mice fed with HFD or chow diet (CD) for 16 weeks.

Retrospective studies have revealed the risk of various comorbidities associated with increased severity of OSA. This study aims to identify novel metabolic biomarkers associated with severe OSA.

In an earlier study, HA stalk (universal flu vaccine) was found to be broadly protective against different subtypes of influenza virus in mice. Hence, we were interested to know its breadth of protective efficacy either alone or combined with inactivated rgH5N2 (clade 2.

OSA has been linked to various metabolic disorders and chronic health conditions, such as obesity, diabetes, hypertension, and depression. Profiling of alterations in metabolites and their regulation in OSA has been hypothesized to be an effective approach for early diagnosis and prognosis of OSA.
