CCN1 Analyzed as a Biomarker for Breast Cancer Detection
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women with 1.7 million new cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2016. Early detection of cancer is believed to be crucial in reducing cancer death. Despite recent progress in liquid biopsy technologies, early blood-based detection of breast cancer is still a challenge.

Protein-Expression Changes Specific to Immunoglobulin G4-Related Disease Analyzed
Immunoglobulin 4 (IgG4)-related disease (IgG4-RD) is a lymphoproliferative disorder characterized by elevated serum IgG4 levels and infiltration of IgG4-positive plasma cells into the affected tissues. More...09 Sep 2021

Immunoglobulin Levels Investigated in Adults with IgG Subclass Deficiency
Immunoglobulin G (IgG) subclass deficiency (IgGSD) is characterized by frequent or severe upper or lower respiratory tract infection, one or more subnormal IgG subclass level(s) unexplained by other causes, and decreased IgG response to pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccination (PPSV).

Biomarker p-120 Catenin Distinguishes Conventional Urothelial Carcinoma from Variants
Plasmacytoid urothelial carcinoma (PC-UC) is an infrequent and clinically aggressive variant of urothelial carcinoma (UC). Initially, PC-UC was identified based on morphology as a potential mimicker of malignant plasma cell and lymphoid neoplasms and is characterized by loss of E-cadherin (E-Cad)–mediated intercellular adhesion.
