Metabolite profiles distinguish exposure to Dengue and Zika flaviviruses in human induced pluripotent stem cells (hiPSCs)

This study uses metabolomics to distinguish Dengue and Zika virus infections in hiPSCs, identifying virus-specific metabolic signatures and pathways that regulate viral replication.

Estrogen Signaling During Abrupt Involution Leads to Long-Term Metabolic Dysfunction Similar to Estrogen Receptor Negative Breast Cancer

This study compares abrupt and gradual involution in mouse mammary glands, finding that abrupt involution leads to metabolic dysfunction resembling estrogen receptor negative breast cancer.

A novel family of secreted proteins linked to plant gall development

The paper identifies a novel family of secreted proteins, BICYCLE, in aphids that are associated with plant gall development through differential gene expression.
