Monitoring central nervous system tumour metabolism using cerebrospinal fluid (2024)
Journal Article
Whitby, A., & Dandapani, M. (2024). Monitoring central nervous system tumour metabolism using cerebrospinal fluid. Frontiers in Oncology, 14, Article 1389529. https://doi.org/10.3389/fonc.2024.1389529

Central nervous system (CNS) tumours are the most common cancer cause of death in under 40s in the UK, largely because they persist and recur and sometimes metastasise during treatment. Therefore, longitudinal monitoring of patients during and follow... Read More about Monitoring central nervous system tumour metabolism using cerebrospinal fluid.

Metabolites and Metabolic Functional Changes—Potential Markers for Endothelial Cell Senescence (2024)
Journal Article
Ya, J., Whitby, A., & Bayraktutan, U. (2024). Metabolites and Metabolic Functional Changes—Potential Markers for Endothelial Cell Senescence. Biomolecules, 14(11), Article 1476. https://doi.org/10.3390/biom14111476

Accumulation of senescent endothelial cells (ECs) in vasculature represents a key step in the development of vascular aging and ensuing age-related diseases. Given that removal of senescent ECs may prevent disease and improve health and wellbeing, th...

Identification of Predictive Biomarkers of Lameness in Transition Dairy Cows (2024)
Journal Article
Cardoso, A. S., Whitby, A., Green, M. J., Kim, D.-H., & Randall, L. V. (2024). Identification of Predictive Biomarkers of Lameness in Transition Dairy Cows. Animals, 14(14), Article 2030. https://doi.org/10.3390/ani14142030

The aim of this study was to identify with a high level of confidence metabolites previously identified as predictors of lameness and understand their biological relevance by carrying out pathway analyses. For the dairy cattle sector, lameness is a m... Read More about Identification of Predictive Biomarkers of Lameness in Transition Dairy Cows.

Characterisation of Aberrant Metabolic Pathways in Hepatoblastoma Using Liquid Chromatography and Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) (2023)
Journal Article

Characterisation of Aberrant Metabolic Pathways in Hepatoblastoma Using Liquid Chromatography and Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Cancers, 15(21), Article 5182. https://doi.org/10.3390/cancers15215182

Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare childhood tumour with an evolving molecular landscape. We present the first comprehensive metabolomic analysis using untargeted and targeted liquid chromatography coupled to high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC-M...

Acai Berry (Euterpe sp.) Extracts Are Neuroprotective against L-Glutamate-Induced Toxicity by Limiting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Cellular Redox Stress (2023)
Journal Article
ALNasser, M. N., AlSaadi, A. M., Whitby, A., Kim, D. H., Mellor, I. R., & Carter, W. G. (2023). Acai Berry (Euterpe sp.) Extracts Are Neuroprotective against L-Glutamate-Induced Toxicity by Limiting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Cellular Redox Stress. Life, 13(4), Article 1019. https://doi.org/10.3390/life13041019

Aberrant accumulation of the neurotransmitter L-glutamate (L-Glu) has been implicated as a mechanism of neurodegeneration, and the release of L-Glu after stroke onset leads to a toxicity cascade that results in neuronal death. The acai berry (Euterpe... Read More about Acai Berry (Euterpe sp.) Extracts Are Neuroprotective against L-Glutamate-Induced Toxicity by Limiting Mitochondrial Dysfunction and Cellular Redox Stress.

EPEN-21. Developing a sensitive method for detection of minimal residual disease in ependymoma using metabolomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid (2022)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Woodward, A., Amugi, L., Patel, K., Kilpatrick, C., Kim, D.-H., & Dandapani, M. EPEN-21. Developing a sensitive method for detection of minimal residual disease in ependymoma using metabolomic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid

Ependymoma (EPN) is the second most common malignant paediatric brain tumour with poor survival and significant neuro-cognitive impairment from current treatments (surgery and radiotherapy). Relapse occurs in 50% of patients within 2 years, despite n... Read More about EPEN-21.

Journal Article
Rahman, R., Woodward, A., Pandele, A., Abdelrazig, S., Ortori, C., Khan, I., Castellanos-Uribe, M., May, S., Barrett, D., Grundy, R., & Kim, D.-H. (2021). Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Using an Optimised Dual Extraction Process to Study Human Brain Cancer Cells and Tissues. Metabolites, 11(4), Article 240. https://doi.org/10.3390/metabo11040240

The integration of untargeted metabolomics and transcriptomics from the same population of cells or tissue enhances the confidence in the identified metabolic pathways and understanding of the enzyme–metabolite relationship. Here, we optimised a simu... Read More about Integrated Metabolomics and Transcriptomics Using an Optimised Dual Extraction Process to Study Human Brain Cancer Cells and Tissues.
