Infectiology is the study of infectious diseases. It is a branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of infectious diseases. These diseases can be caused by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites. They can affect any part of the body, including the skin, respiratory system, gastrointestinal system, or central nervous system.
Phosphatidylcholines – Metabolite of the month
Metabolite of the month is your sneak peek into the world of metabolomics. In this month´s article, we took a closer look at phosphatidylcholines, a class of lipids involved in much more than membrane composition.
Lipid biomarkers improve diagnosis of bacterial meningitis
Free phosphatidylcholines in cerebrospinal fluid are highly promising biomarkers for an improved differential diagnosis of bacterial meningitis.
Multi-omics reveals new insights into chronic malarias
Host-parasite interactions in chronic and acute malaria were characterized by metabolomics and transcriptomics in macaques and humans.
Metabolomics reveals link between adipose tissue and severe COVID-19
A lipid signature is associated with disease severity and inflammatory status in patients with COVID-19.
