Two Inflammatory Proteins Linked with Slower Cognitive Decline
Previous meta-analyses of case-control and prospective cohort studies showed that cytokines and inflammatory markers, such as interleukin-6 (IL-6), C-reactive protein (CRP), and others are elevated in Alzheimer's dementia cases and predicted incident of all-cause dementia. More...08 Jul 2021
FABP4 Concentrations Quantified in Proliferative Diabetic Retinopathy
Proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR), a progressive and serious stage of diabetic retinopathy (DR) due to retinal ischemia, is characterized by neovascularization (NV), vitreous hemorrhaging (VH) and tractional retinal detachment (TRD), all of which are major causes of blindness in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).

Two Immunoassays Compared for Determination of Serum Vitamin D
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble steroid prohormone that is generated mainly in the skin by photochemical conversion of 7-dehydrocholesterol. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) is its main storage form and is present in blood at very high concentration with respect to the active form 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D.
