Analysis of the oral microbiome during hormonal cycle and its alterations in menopausal women: the "AMICA" project.

The maintenance of human health is dependent on a symbiotic relationship between humans and associated bacteria. The diversity and abundance of each habitat's signature microbes vary widely among body areas and among them the oral microbiome plays a key role. Significant changes in the oral cavity, predominantly at salivary and periodontal level, have been associated with changes in estrogen levels.

Modeling Acquired Resistance to the Second-Generation Androgen Receptor Antagonist Enzalutamide in the TRAMP Model of Prostate Cancer.

Enzalutamide (MDV3100) is a potent second-generation androgen receptor antagonist approved for the treatment of castration-resistant prostate cancer (CRPC) in chemotherapy-naïve as well as in patients previously exposed to chemotherapy. However, resistance to enzalutamide and enzalutamide withdrawal syndrome have been reported. Thus, reliable and integrated preclinical models are required to elucidate the mechanisms of resistance and to assess therapeutic settings that may delay or prevent the onset of resistance.

Metabolite variation in three edible Italian Allium cepa L. by NMR-based metabolomics: a comparative study in fresh and stored bulbs.

Introduction: In fruits and vegetables, comparative analysis of metabolic plant profiles has a high potential for quality control of active components. Onion (Allium cepa L.) is used fresh or stored as food, spice, and in traditional medicine.

Biomonitoring of workers using nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics of exhaled breath condensate: A pilot study.

Exhaled breath condensate (EBC) is a non-invasive biological matrix that allows easy access to the lung epithelial lining fluid. It can provide, for instance, useful biochemical information in workers following inhalatory exposure. Recently, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR)-based metabolomics has been applied to EBC profiling to identify metabolic phenotypes ("metabotypes") of relevance in respiratory medicine.
