Molecular signature of COVID-19 prior to its exacerbation by multi-omics survey

The paper identifies a molecular signature in early-stage COVID-19 patients that predicts disease exacerbation using multi-omics analysis of plasma samples.

MBOAT2 limits the amounts of PUFA in phosphatidylcholine of neonatal and dystrophic skeletal muscle and promotes muscle regeneration

This study identifies MBOAT2 as a key enzyme that limits PUFA in PC and promotes muscle regeneration in dystrophic and neonatal muscle.

Plasmodium falciparum diacylglycerol acyltransferase maintains phospholipid homeostasis to regulate sexual differentiation, ER stress, and cytoadhesion

This study shows that PfDGAT is essential for Plasmodium falciparum survival by maintaining phospholipid homeostasis, regulating sexual differentiation, ER stress, and cytoadhesion.
