A Circulating Adipokine Is a Possible Biomarker for Severity of Systemic Sclerosis-Associated Interstitial Lung Disease
A circulating adipokine (a cytokine chemical messenger produced by adipose tissue) has been identified as a possible biomarker associated with the severity of systemic sclerosis-associated interstitial lung disease. More...15 Aug 2021

Lipid Metabolism Affects GBA-Associated Parkinson's Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer’s disease. The pathognomonic hallmark of PD is the degeneration of dopaminergic neurons of the substantia nigra and, consequently, the striatal dopamine depletion. More...13 Aug 2021

Genomes of Advanced Neuroendocrine Neoplasms Unveil Subtypes
Metastatic and locally-advanced neuroendocrine neoplasms (aNEN) form clinically and genetically heterogeneous malignancies, characterized by distinct prognoses based upon primary tumor localization, functionality, grade, proliferation index and diverse outcomes to treatment. More...13 Aug 2021
