- ABSTRACT An ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of fipronil and its three metabolites (fipronil sulfone, fipronil sulfide, and fipronil desulfinyl) in zebrafish tissues. Protein precipitation was employed for sample preparation, followed by chromatographic separation on a C18 column. The method demonstrated excellent linearity (r 2 > 0.99) across a […]
- Protein biomarkers in biofluids are highly sensitive indicators of prodromal cognitive impairment yet remain limited for primary prevention. Lipids, essential to brain structure and function, offer untapped prognostic value. Here, we identify a lipidomic signature in serum from asymptomatic PSEN1-E280A mutation carriers aged 6-40 years, that differentiate carriers from non-carriers with an AUC 80-90%. Similarly, to symptomatic carriers (older 41 […]
- ABSTRACT A simple, sensitive and efficient ultra performance liquid chromatographyâmass spectrometry (UPLCâMS/MS) method for simultaneous quantitative determination of olmesartan and hydrochlorothiazide in human plasma has been developed and validated. Using olmesartan-d4 and hydrochlorothiazide-13C-d2 as stable isotope-labeled internal standard (SIL-IS). Plasma samples were processed by protein precipitation. Separated on a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-Phenyl column (150âmmâĂâ4.6âmm, 5âÎŒm) using a gradient elution with […]
- ABSTRACT Yi-Mai compound (YMHJ), a traditional Chinese medicine formulation, has demonstrated therapeutic efficacy against atherosclerosis (AS) in clinical observational studies. To elucidate its underlying pharmacological mechanisms, this investigation employed an integrated approach combining ultra-performance liquid chromatographyâelectrospray ionizationâtandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS), network pharmacology analysis, and molecular docking validation. Through systematic chemical profiling, 2136 constituents were identified in YMHJ, with 33 prioritized […]

- Symbiotic associations enable species to integrate complementary traits and adapt to novel environments. However, how the host and endosymbiont exchange nutrients remains poorly understood in most cases. Previously Paramecium bursaria cells were shown to reorganize lipid droplets to accommodate endosymbiotic Chlorella cells and interfering with lipid metabolism reduced the endosymbiont number. Here, we combined transcriptomics, lipidomics, imaging mass spectrometry, and […]
- Non-tailed phages remain an underexplored group in marine environments, as tailed phages have dominated sequence and culture collections. However, recent surveys indicate that non-tailed phages might be more abundant than tailed phages, and with different effects on microbial mortality and gene transfer. Here, we report the structural characterization of bacteriophage NO16, a non-tailed vibriophage, one of the simplest members of […]

- We present the first application of a deuterated water metabolic labeling workflow coupled with data-independent acquisition (DIA) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for quantifying label enrichment in MS/MS to study protein turnover. The approach automates the turnover rate determination from combined precursor and fragment ions. The truncation of the observed isotope distributions of fragments is overcome by implementing an approach to […]

- ABSTRACT Tannins are widespread specialized plant metabolites that contribute significantly to the polyphenol content of plant-based diets. Their effects on human and animal health vary depending on their structure, with potential benefits including antioxidative, antimicrobial, anthelmintic, and anticarcinogenic properties. Understanding tannin composition and quantity in plant products is essential, as their bioactivities are influenced by their functional groups. Mass spectrometry-based […]

- Intracellular bacterial pathogens deploy effector proteins to hijack host membranes by targeting specific lipids. Phosphoinositides are key eukaryotic signaling molecules that govern membrane identity and dynamics, making them powerful levers for microbial interference. However, the bacterial repertoire of phosphoinositide-binding effectors remains largely undefined. In this study, we systematically identified such proteins using an expression library of 241 Legionella pneumophila effectors. […]
