Tigers, Terrain, and Human Settlement Influence the Occupancy of Leopards () in Southwestern Tarai, Nepal.

Maintaining a healthy population of common leopards, a highly adaptive felid, requires updated information on their spatial occurrence. In Nepal's Tarai region, leopards coexist with tigers, which are well-studied felid throughout its range. However, knowledge is very scarce on the patterns of leopard occupancy.

Integrative metabolomic-proteomic analysis uncovers a new therapeutic approach in targeting rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory condition that, despite available approaches to manage the disease, lacks an efficient treatment and timely diagnosis. Using the most advanced omics technique, metabolomics and proteomics approach, we explored varied metabolites and proteins to identify unique metabolite-protein signatures involved in the disease pathogenesis of RA.

Methods: Untargeted metabolomics (n = 20) and proteomics (n = 60) of RA patients' plasma were carried out by HPLC/LC-MS/MS and SWATH, respectively and analyzed by Metaboanalyst.

π-HuB: the proteomic navigator of the human body.

The human body contains trillions of cells, classified into specific cell types, with diverse morphologies and functions. In addition, cells of the same type can assume different states within an individual's body during their lifetime. Understanding the complexities of the proteome in the context of a human organism and its many potential states is a necessary requirement to understanding human biology, but these complexities can neither be predicted from the genome, nor have they been systematically measurable with available technologies.
