Combating Counterfeit Green Tea with Metabolomic Profiling

Scientists have shown that not all green tea is equal and have devised a method to infer the geographic origin of consumer green tea products.

Ultra-Small Microelectrode Biosensors for Brain Injury Analysis

An interview from Stéphane Marinesco, Associate Professor at the Lyon Neuroscience Research Center in Inserm, discussing the development of ultra-small microelectrode biosensors for the analysis of traumatic brain injuries, without the risks of conventional microelectrode biosensors.

Does the Microbiome Interact with the Human Endocrine System?

Whilst the effect of the microbiome on the digestive system has been studied over the past decade, the understanding of its effect on the endocrine system is less well understood.

	Lifestyle Profiling as a Forensic Analysis Technique Lifestyle profiling represents a new method where the chemistries that are obtained from the personal objects of a person are used to build their lifestyle profile. This is then used to infer the person’s location and characteristics which are further applied to various forensic investigations.

	Metabolomic Profiling of Ricin Ricin is one of the most toxic substances known to science with an LD50 between 3 and 30 µg/kg in humans. Potentially lethal when inhaled, ingested, or injected, death can occur within 36 to 72 hours upon exposure. Ricin works by preventing the body’s cells from producing essential proteins, which leads to cellular death. There is no known antidote for ricin poisoning.

	Metabolic engineering of cannabinoids – are we there yet? There has recently been a surge in research into the biosynthetic pathways of cannabinoids and the potential for commercialized metabolic engineering.

	Metabolomics may be key to identifying diabetes-related kidney disease Metabolomics, the study of small molecules the body produces during metabolism (metabolites) may be a future key to identifying diabetes-related kidney disease.

	Liver fat biomarker levels linked with metabolic health benefits of exercise, study finds While genetics and other factors like age and sex contribute to each individual's response to exercise, little is known about the biological mechanisms by which physical activity brings about beneficial changes to the body.
