It is imperative to comprehend the mechanisms that underlie drug toxicity in order to enhance the efficacy and safety of novel therapeutic agents. The capacity to identify molecular pathways that contribute to drug-induced toxicity has been significantly enhanced by recent developments in omics technologies, such as transcriptomics, proteomics, and metabolomics. This has enabled the early identification of potential adverse effects.

Article Synopsis
  • The study examined how heat stress affects rumen fermentation, blood parameters, and microbial communities in Holstein dairy cows during mid-lactation in Korea.
  • Samples were taken during the heat stress period and a recovery period, revealing significant differences in milk yield and blood total protein levels, while certain measures remained unchanged.
  • Key findings indicated shifts in microbial diversity and the dominance of specific bacterial groups under heat stress conditions, highlighting the impact of temperature on dairy cow health and production.

Mass spectrometry-based methods can provide a global expression profile and structural readout of proteins in complex systems. Preserving the in vivo conformation of proteins in their innate state is challenging during proteomic experiments. Here, we introduce a whole animal in vivo protein footprinting method using perfusion of reagents to add dimethyl labels to exposed lysine residues on intact proteins which provides information about protein conformation.
