AI Article Synopsis
- Isotope labeling allows researchers to track how nutrients move between soil and plants using arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi.
- The study focuses on radioactive isotopes of phosphorus (P) to investigate how it's absorbed by AM fungal mycelium from the soil.
- It also examines how this phosphorus is then transferred to the host plant through the mycorrhizal network.
Article Abstract
Isotope labeling enables the detection and quantification of nutrient fluxes between soil and plants through arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi. Here we describe the use of radioactive isotopes, P and P, to study the uptake of P from soil by AM fungal mycelium and its transfer to the host plant through the mycorrhizal pathway.

Ovalbumin (OVA) is a high-risk allergen with complex tertiary structure in food samples. Here, we developed an accurate UPLC-MS/MS-based assay to improve OVA quantitative performance in processed foods. Full-length isotope-labeled OVA proteins (OVA-I) were synthesized using stable isotope labeling by amino acids in cell culture (SILAC) technique and employed as functional internal standards to ensure similar cleavage sites between internal standards and analytes.

Background: Knowledge of the chemical composition of amyloid plaques and tau tangles at the earlier stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is sparse. This is due to limited access to human brain during life and at the earlier stages of AD pathophysiology and technical limitations in quantifying amyloid and tau species at a subcellular level. Understanding the chemical composition of plaques and tangles, how rapidly they grow and what factors drive growth is important for developing and refining therapeutics.

Background: While disease-modifying treatments that reduce Aβ have been recently approved by the FDA, the identification of novel therapeutic targets and strategies that target underlying mechanisms to delay the AD development are still needed. Abnormal brain energy homeostasis and mitochondria dysfunction are observed early in AD. Therefore, the development of treatments to restore these defects could be beneficial.

Background: Protein metabolism and turnover can be monitored using tracer methods, notably stable isotope labeling kinetics (SILK) based on 13C-leucine incorporation. This approach has been used in Alzheimer's disease, specifically analyzing the turnover in cerebrospinal fluid of biomarkers of interest, including amyloid peptides, leading to major pathophysiological insights (Nature medicine 12:856-861). This was achieved using immunoprecipitation mass spectrometry, which enables to track a small number of targets present in low concentration.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigates how changes in bile acids contribute to metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), focusing on the role of gut bacteria.
- Mice with MASH on a high-fat diet were compared to their wildtype counterparts to isolate the effects of MASH from diet and environmental factors.
- Findings show that MASH alters bile acid levels through mechanisms unrelated to gut microbiota, particularly highlighting increased enzyme activity in the liver that reduces secondary bile acid levels.
