Behind the Paper
The real stories behind the latest research papers, from conception to publication, the highs and the lows
Metabolic (dysfunction) associated fatty liver disease in normal weight individuals
There has previously been no rigorous attempt to understand the pathophysiology of MAFLD in healthy weight individuals. This was the aim of our review
We would welcome feedback.
Metabolism across species: using transcriptome profiling to investigate glycolytic and oxidative flux in mammalian embryos
Mammalian embryology research relies on animal models with different developmental timelines and implantation modes. Here, we present a cross-species analysis of 15 single-cell RNA-seq datasets showing conserved glycolysis and oxidative phosphorylation trends in pre-gastrulation mammalian embryos.
In situ electro-synthesis and resynthesis of redox actives in aqueous organic redox flow batteries
We report in situ continuous anthraquinone electrosyntheses from lower-cost anthracene feedstock in a flow cell reactor to lower mass production cost of anthraquinone-based electrolytes, and in situ electro-resyntheses of active molecules from decomposed species to extend lifetime of aqueous anthraquinone redox flow batteries.
Exploring donor difference in neonatal fecal microbiota transplantation
Using a controlled preterm piglet model, we found rectal fecal microbiota transplantation manifested clinically and microbiologically in a donor-dependent manner. Metagenomic analysis revealed strain-level phylogenetic separation of the engrafted lactobacilli strains according to the donors.
