Metabolomics aims at identification and quantitation of key end point metabolites, basically polar, in order to study changes in biochemical activities in response to pathophysiological stimuli or genetic modifications. Targeted profiling assays enjoying a growing popularity over the last years with LC-MS/MS as a powerful tool for development of such (semi-)quantitative methods for a large number of metabolites. Here we describe a method for absolute quantitation of ca. 100 metabolites belonging to key metabolite classes such as sugars, amino acids, nucleotides, organic acids, and amines with a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) system comprised with ultra (high) performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) with detection on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer operating in both positive and negative modes.

Background: With the expiration of patents for multiple biotherapeutics, biosimilars are gaining traction globally as cost-effective alternatives to the original products. Glycosylation, a critical quality attribute, makes glycosimilarity assessment pivotal for biosimilar development. Given the complexity of glycoanalytical profiles, assessing glycosimilarity is nontrivial.

We generated soybean mutants related to two ß-amyrin synthase genes using DNA-free site-directed mutagenesis system. Our results suggested that one of the genes is predominant in the soyasaponin biosynthesis. Soyasaponins, which are triterpenoid saponins contained in soybean [Glycine max (L.

Background: Lenacapavir is a highly potent first-in-class inhibitor of HIV-1 capsid approved for the treatment of heavily treatment-experienced (HTE) people with HIV-1 (PWH) harboring multidrug resistant (MDR) virus, in combination with an optimized background regimen (OBR). Resistance analyses conducted after 2 years of lenacapavir treatment in the phase 2/3 CAPELLA study are described.
Methods: CAPELLA enrolled viremic HTE PWH with resistance to 2 or more drugs per class in at least 3 of the 4 main drug classes.

Maternal diet has long-term effects on offspring brain development and behavior. Sucrose (table sugar) intakes are high in modern diets, but it is not clear how a maternal high-sucrose diet (HSD) affects the offspring. In rats, a maternal HSD (26% of calories from sucrose, which is human-relevant) alters maternal metabolism and brain and also alters adult offspring endocrinology and behavior in a sex-specific manner.

Background/purpose: Dual-cure resin-cements are used for various dental restorations. However, whether the curing modes of these resin-cements influence gingival inflammation remains unclear. Hence, herein, we evaluated the effects of dual-cure resin-cement curing modes on gingival cytotoxicity and inflammatory responses.
