Bone and Cartilage Biomarkers Analyzed for Knee Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common arthritic disease, affecting more than 250 million people in the world. The disease is characterized by excessive cartilage degradation, abnormal bone growth and sclerosis and synovial inflammation in a subset of patients. More...

New Method May Lower Costs Associated with HDL-CEC Measurements

Circulating high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles mediate reverse cholesterol transport by carrying excess cholesterol from the periphery, such as the arterial wall, to the liver for excretion into the bile. HDL-mediated cholesterol efflux capacity is a functional attribute that may have a protective role in atherogenesis. More...

Protein Panel Developed for Early Detection of Lung Cancer

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related mortality worldwide, characterized by late clinical presentation as 49%–53% of patients are diagnosed at stage IV, and consequently have poor outcomes. More...

Biomarker Identified for Early Beta-Cell Death in Type 1 Diabetes

Beta cells in the pancreas produce insulin and their death is a key feature of Type 1 diabetes, and that loss starts long before diagnosis. However, there has been no straightforward way to measure that early loss. More...

Serum HMGB1 Levels Reflect Clinical Features of HLH

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a life-threatening hyperinflammatory syndrome. Hypercytokinemia secreted from dysregulated hyperactivated monocytes, macrophages, T cells and NK cells has been reported to play a major role in HLH. More...

Increased Risk of Hypoandrogenemia Found in Obese Young Men

Hyperandrogenism is a medical condition characterized by high levels of androgens in females, but men with obesity may be at increased risk for developing hypoandrogenemia or low free testosterone, especially if they have more severe obesity. More...
