Article Abstract
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a multifactorial neurodegenerative pathology of the upper or lower motor neuron. Evaluation of ALS progression is based on clinical outcomes considering the impairment of body sites. ALS has been extensively investigated in the pathogenetic mechanisms and the clinical profile; however, no molecular biomarkers are used as diagnostic criteria to establish the ALS pathological staging. Using the source-reconstructed magnetoencephalography (MEG) approach, we demonstrated that global brain hyperconnectivity is associated with and clinical ALS stages. Using nuclear magnetic resonance (H-NMR) and high resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) spectroscopy, here we studied the metabolomic profile of ALS patients' sera characterized by different stages of disease progression-namely and . Multivariate statistical analysis of the data integrated with the network analysis indicates that metabolites related to energy deficit, abnormal concentrations of neurotoxic metabolites and metabolites related to neurotransmitter production are pathognomonic of ALS in the stage. Furthermore, analysis of the lipidomic profile indicates that ALS patients report significant alteration of phosphocholine (PCs), lysophosphatidylcholine (LPCs), and sphingomyelin (SMs) metabolism, consistent with the exigency of lipid remodeling to repair neuronal degeneration and inflammation.

Stratified profiling of azoospermia: Differentiating histological subtypes with seminal plasma metabolic signatures.

Non-obstructive azoospermia (NOA), characterized by impaired spermatogenesis and the complete absence of sperm in the ejaculate, represents one of the most severe forms of male infertility. Current diagnostic strategies rely on invasive procedures such as testicular sperm extraction, underscoring the urgent need for reliable, non-invasive alternatives. In the present study, we performed untargeted metabolomic profiling of human seminal plasma to identify biomarker panels capable of stratifying azoospermia subtypes through a stepwise approach.

Background: Soil salinization represents a critical global challenge to agricultural productivity, profoundly impacting crop yields and threatening food security. Plant salt-responsive is complex and dynamic, making it challenging to fully elucidate salt tolerance mechanism and leading to gaps in our understanding of how plants adapt to and mitigate salt stress.
Results: Here, we conduct high-resolution time-series transcriptomic and metabolomic profiling of the extremely salt-tolerant maize inbred line, HLZY, and the salt-sensitive elite line, JI853.

Mass-based fingerprinting can characterize microorganisms; however, expansion of these methods to predict specific gene functions is lacking. Therefore, mass fingerprinting was developed to functionally profile a yeast knockout library. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) fingerprints of 3,238 knockouts were digitized for correlation with gene ontology (GO).

Mogrosides are the main non-caloric sweeteners in Siraitia grosvenorii, with sweetness determined by specific chemical structures. However, the diversity of triterpenoid skeletons and glucosylation patterns suggests that the variety of mogrosides remains insufficiently characterized. Here, high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) coupled with Global Natural Products Social Molecular Networking (GNPS) was used to systematically profile mogrosides.
