Biomarker in Adolescence Linked to Early Mortality
Inflammation is part of the complex biological response of body tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged cells, or irritants, and is a protective response involving immune cells, blood vessels, and molecular mediators. More...27 Sep 2019

Next-Gen Sequencing Matches Blood Group Antigens for Transfusion
Transfusion is the procedure of introducing donor material with unknown blood cell antigens into the recipient’s circulatory system. The recipient’s immune system recognizes foreign antigens, produces specific antibodies and sensitization (alloimmunization) occurs. More...26 Sep 2019

Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia Linked with Higher Melanoma Risk
Melanoma, also known as malignant melanoma, is a type of cancer that develops from the pigment-containing cells known as melanocytes. Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is a type of cancer that starts from white blood cells (called lymphocytes) in the bone marrow. More...19 Sep 2019

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...17 Sep 2019


Clinical Specificity of RBC Alloantibodies Studied in Pregnant Women
Maternal red cell immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies can cross the placenta and cause hemolysis of fetal red cells in case of antigenic differences between maternal and fetal red blood cells (RBCs), leading to hemolytic disease of the fetus and newborn (HDFN). More...05 Sep 2019

Toolkit Developed for Iron Deficiency in Pregnancy
The risk of iron deficiency (ID) increases during pregnancy due to an increase in maternal iron requirements to accommodate the expansion of maternal red blood cell (RBC) mass, development of the placenta and fetus, and the loss of blood associated with labor and delivery. More...04 Sep 2019
