Elevated Galectin-1 Levels in Sepsis Reflect Danger of Cytokine Storm Development

Increased concentration of the beta-galactoside-binding protein “galectin-1” in sera from human sepsis patients has been found to be a novel biomarker for cytokine storms that may occur in cases with runaway sepsis. More...

Plasma Serglycin Levels Evaluated for Diabetic Retinopathy Diagnosis

Diabetic retinopathy (DR), a microvascular complication caused by chronic diabetes mellitus (DM), is a significant threat to vision in adults, which may even lead to blindness and retinal detachment. The clinical symptoms of DR include fibrosis, capillary obstruction, neovascularization, and increased vascular permeability. More...

Rare Genetic Variants Can Contribute to Ischemic Heart Failure

Heart failure affects about 40 million people globally, and most cases are due to ischemic heart disease, hypertension, or cardiomyopathies. Cardiomyopathies have been traced to rare variants in genes that encode sarcomere or cytoskeletal proteins, channels, or desmosomes, while genome-wide association studies have underscored common variants linked to heart failure.
