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.
In our metabolite of the month series, our scientists look at one specific metabolite each month. Topics of discussion include the biosynthesis and degradation in a broader health context, and the effect of dysregulation. In this month´s article, they took a closer look at Cinnamaldehyde.
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.
Free phosphatidylcholines in cerebrospinal fluid are highly promising biomarkers for an improved differential diagnosis of bacterial meningitis.
Host-parasite interactions in chronic and acute malaria were characterized by metabolomics and transcriptomics in macaques and humans.
A lipid signature is associated with disease severity and inflammatory status in patients with COVID-19.
A neonatal mouse model demonstrated that G. lamblia infection altered the composition of the gut microbiome and enhanced bile acid secretion and deconjugation.
The metabolite of this month is arachidonic acid, a polyunsaturated fatty acid at the crossroads between inflammation, athlete training and the latest COVID-19 research.
Plasma lipid profiling for the prognosis of 90-day mortality, in-hospital mortality, ICU admission, and severity in bacterial community-acquired pneumonia (CAP)
Those who recover from COVID-19, especially after severe cases, have experienced a great deal of pain and discomfort. However, because of potential multi-organ injuries that more closely resemble the situation after sepsis rather than recovery from an Influenza virus infection, COVID-19 survivors often experience long-term consequences of the infection.
The global impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted collaborative research efforts across the world. Thus far, the bulk of these efforts have been geared towards vaccine development and discovery of therapeutic strategies that mitigate disease severity.
