Shotgun metabarcoding was conducted to examine the microbiota in a total of 48 samples from 12 critically ill patients, analyzing samples from both the oropharynx and rectum. We aimed to…
The Proteomics Standards Initiative Standardized Formats for Spectral Libraries and Fragment Ion Peak Annotations: mzSpecLib and mzPAF
Mass spectral libraries are collections of reference spectra, usually associated with specific analytes from which the spectra were generated, that are used for further downstream analysis of new spectra. There…
Expanding the Molecular and Clinical Phenotype of Patients With De Novo Variants in KIF5C: A Six Patient Case Series
Heterozygous de novo loss of function variants in the motor domain of KIF5C are associated with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile-onset epilepsy, frontal cortical dysplasia, and developmental delays including…
New method for producing blood stem cells can revolutionize stem cell transplant therapy
A new method for producing blood stem cells may in the future replace voluntary bone marrow donors as a source of stem cell transplants. Four European research groups will work…
Multiplatform metabolomic interlaboratory study of a whole human stool candidate reference material from omnivore and vegan donors
CONCLUSION: This collaborative exercise emphasized the broad chemical survey possible with multi-technique approaches. Community engagement is essential for the evaluation and characterization of common materials designed to facilitate comparability and…
xCT as a Predictor for Survival in a Population-Based Cohort of Head and Neck Squamous Cell Carcinoma
CONCLUSIONS: High xCT expression was associated with poor prognosis in OPSCC. Our findings suggest that joint analysis of xCT and p16 may add significant value in OPSCC treatment stratification.
Structural Repetition Detector: multi-scale quantitative mapping of molecular complexes through microscopy
From molecules to organelles, cells exhibit recurring structural motifs across multiple scales. Understanding these structures provides insights into their functional roles. While superresolution microscopy can visualise such patterns, manual detection…

Encapsulated mitochondria to reprogram the metabolism of M2-type macrophages for anti-tumor therapy
M2-type macrophages (M2Φ) play a pro-tumorigenic role and are closely associated with tumor development, where metabolic dysregulation exacerbates the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment and fosters tumor growth. Mitochondria serve as the…
Multiparameter imaging reveals clinically relevant cancer cell-stroma interaction dynamics in head and neck cancer
Epithelial tumors are characterized by abundant inter- and intra-tumor heterogeneity, which complicates diagnostics and treatment. The contribution of cancer-stroma interactions to this heterogeneity is poorly understood. Here, we report a…
