Gut microbiota carbon and sulfur metabolisms support Salmonella infections.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium is a pervasive enteric pathogen and ongoing global threat to public health. Ecological studies in the Salmonella impacted gut remain underrepresented in the literature, discounting microbiome mediated interactions that may inform Salmonella physiology during colonization and infection. To understand the microbial ecology of Salmonella remodeling of the gut microbiome, we performed multi-omics on fecal microbial communities from untreated and Salmonella-infected mice.

Time-Resolved Multiomics Illustrates Host and Gut Microbe Interactions during Infection.

infection, also known as , is one of the most common food-borne illnesses. infection can trigger host defensive functions, including an inflammatory response. The provoked-host inflammatory response has a significant impact on the bacterial population in the gut.

Phytoremediation ability of three succulent ornamental plants; cactus (Opuntia humifusa), kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) and bryophyllum (Bryophyllum delagoensis) under heavy metals pollution.

The current status of environmental pollution by heavy metals (HMs) will affect the entire ecosystem components. The results obtained so far indicate that some plants can be effective in removing toxic metals from the soil. For this purpose, the phytoremediation ability of three fleshy ornamental plants; cactus (Opuntia humifusa), kalanchoe (Kalanchoe blossfeldiana) and bryophyllum (Bryophyllum delagoensis), was evaluated under the stress of HMs.

Decoding the glycoproteome: a new frontier for biomarker discovery in cancer.

Cancer early detection and treatment response prediction continue to pose significant challenges. Cancer liquid biopsies focusing on detecting circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and DNA (ctDNA) have shown enormous potential due to their non-invasive nature and the implications in precision cancer management. Recently, liquid biopsy has been further expanded to profile glycoproteins, which are the products of post-translational modifications of proteins and play key roles in both normal and pathological processes, including cancers.

Mass Spectrometry Analysis of Glycopeptides Enriched by Anion Exchange-Mediated Methods Reveals PolyLacNAc-Extended -Glycans in Integrins and Tetraspanins in Melanoma Cells.

Glycosylation is a key modulator of the functional state of proteins. Recent developments in large-scale analysis of intact glycopeptides have enabled the identification of numerous glycan structures that are relevant in pathophysiological processes. However, one motif found in -glycans, poly--acetyllactosamine (polyLacNAc), still poses a substantial challenge to mass spectrometry-based glycoproteomic analysis due to its relatively low abundance and large size.
