HMDB 5.0: the Human Metabolome Database for 2022

David S. Wishart et al.

Summary: The Human Metabolome Database (HMDB) has been providing comprehensive information about human metabolites since 2007, and has undergone significant improvements and upgrades in its latest update, HMDB 5.0. These improvements include an increase in the number of metabolite entries, enhancements to metabolite descriptions, new visualization tools, and more accurately predicted spectral data sets. These upgrades are aimed at improving the usability and potential applications of the HMDB in various fields, including human metabolomics, exposomics, lipidomics, nutritional science, biochemistry, and clinical chemistry.

Tick Saliva and Salivary Glands: What Do We Know So Far on Their Role in Arthropod Blood Feeding and Pathogen Transmission

Girish Neelakanta et al.

Summary: Ticks are blood-sucking arthropods that have developed various strategies to obtain blood meals from vertebrate hosts. On one hand, they attach to the host, secrete molecules in their saliva, and feed while on the other hand, host defenses will try to counter-attack and stop tick feeding. Understanding the biology of tick blood feeding and molecular interactions at the tick-host interface is crucial for developing transmission-blocking vaccines against vector-borne pathogens.

Spatially Resolved Mass Spectrometry at the Single Cell: Recent Innovations in Proteomics and Metabolomics

Michael J. Taylor et al.

Summary: Biological systems consist of heterogeneous populations of cells that intercommunicate to form functional tissues, with each single cell possessing unique transcriptome, proteome, and metabolome leading to functional differences. Advancements in characterizing omic profiles at a single cell level, including spatially resolved mass spectrometry techniques, have progressed significantly over the past decade.

Non-ammocoete larvae of Palaeozoic stem lampreys

Tetsuto Miyashita et al.

Summary: The study found larval forms of four stem lampreys from the Palaeozoic era that lack the defining traits of modern lamprey ammocoetes, instead exhibiting features similar to adult lampreys. This suggests that ammocoetes may be a specialization of modern lamprey life history rather than relics of vertebrate ancestry. Phylogenetic analyses also indicate that the last common ancestor of hagfishes and lampreys was a predator without a filter-feeding larval phase, implying that `ostracoderms' might better represent the ancestor of all living vertebrates.

Before the first meal: The elusive pre-feeding juvenile stage of the sea lamprey

T. M. Evans et al.

Summary: Despite over 70 years of intensive research on sea lamprey in the Great Lakes, many questions remain about their complex life cycle, particularly the pre-feeding juvenile stage. Key uncertainties include triggers for migration, navigation mechanisms, and locating the first host. These factors may vary predictably among natal streams based on stable geomorphological and hydraulic characteristics.
