, commonly known as Yuanzhi (YZ) in Chinese, has been shown to possess anti-insomnia properties. However, the material basis and the mechanism underlying its sedative-hypnotic effects remain unclear. Herein, we investigated the active components and neurochemical mechanism of YZ extracts using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based pharmacometabolomics and mass spectrometry imaging (MSI)-based spatial resolved metabolomics.

Catecholamines are synthesized by several enzymes: phenylalanine hydroxylase (encoded by PAH), tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase (DDC), dopamine β-hydroxylase (DBH), and phenylethanolamine N-methyltransferase (PNMT). MN/NMN secretion varies between anatomical and molecular subgroups.

The crosstalk between the chromaffin and adrenocortical cells is essential for the endocrine activity of the adrenal glands. This interaction is also likely important for tumorigenesis and progression of adrenocortical cancer and pheochromocytoma. We developed a unique in vitro 3D model of the whole adrenal gland called Adrenoid consisting in adrenocortical carcinoma H295R and pheochromocytoma MTT cell lines.

Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most predominant subtypes of esophageal cancer. The characteristics of the gut microbiome and its metabolites from patients with ESCC have not been adequately studied and discussed. In this study, 40 fecal samples (20 from ESCC patients and 20 from healthy controls) were analyzed by 16S rRNA gene sequencing and untargeted metabolomics.
