Gene Expression Signature Traces Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Progression
Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common condition marked by the accumulation of triglycerides and other lipids in the liver and is associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. More...16 Dec 2020

Biomarker Evaluated for Early Detection of Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is the most common congenital malformation in humans worldwide. Circulating cardiovascular biomarkers could potentially improve the early detection of CHD, even in asymptomatic newborns. More...16 Dec 2020

Anti‐Citrullinated Antibodies Associated with NET Formation in Rheumatoid Arthritis
Several cell types can form extracellular traps as a primary immune response when pathogens invade the body or other inflammatory stimuli. These cell types include neutrophils, monocytes, eosinophils, and mast cells. The mechanism by which neutrophil extracellular traps (NETs) are formed is known as NETosis. More...14 Dec 2020

Triple FIT Surpasses Single Sigmoidoscopy in CRC Screening
Colorectal cancer (CRC) almost always develops from precancerous polyps (abnormal growths) in the colon or rectum. Screening tests can find precancerous polyps, so that they can be removed before they turn into cancer. Screening tests can also find colorectal cancer early, when treatment works best. More...10 Dec 2020

Kininogen-1 Protein Linked to Early Cognitive Impairment in Parkinson’s
Cognitive impairment is a common feature in Parkinson's disease (PD), associated with increased morbidity and mortality. An ongoing area of PD studies is the search for biomarkers that can provide prognostic information about cognitive impairment and other symptoms. More...03 Dec 2020

Single-Tube Multimarker Assay Estimates Preeclampsia Risk
The challenge in the clinical practice of pregnancy monitoring is to distinguish isolated gestational hypertension or proteinuria from the development of preeclampsia (PE) with potential severe consequences to the mother and unborn child. More...03 Dec 2020

Cytokine Profiles Characterized in Primary Sjögren´s Syndrome Patients
Primary Sjögren's syndrome (pSS) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a lymphocytic infiltrate in salivary glands driving to epithelial damage. The pSS patients present heterogenic clinical and serological characteristics. More...02 Dec 2020
