Immune Profiles Analyzed in Acute Myeloid Leukemia Bone Marrow

 In acute myeloid leukemia (AML), myeloid lineage precursor cells modified by somatic mutations and transcriptomic dysregulation infiltrate the bone marrow (BM) and disrupt normal hematopoiesis. More...

The “control serum” provided in the Sebia kit is included in each series, together with two already typed serum samples as internal controls (as an example, E3/E2 and E4/E4) (Photo courtesy of Sorbonne University).

Semi-Automatic Isoelectric Focusing Evaluated for Apolipoprotein E Phenotyping

 Plasma apolipoprotein E (apoE) mainly arises from liver hepatocytes (75%), but the brain (astrocytes, oligodendrocytes, microglia, astrocytes) also synthesizes apoE found in the cerebrospinal fluid. More...

Biomarker Identifies Septic Patients at Higher Risk for Mortality

 Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own tissues and organs. Common signs and symptoms include fever, increased heart rate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. More...

CSF Cytokine Characteristics Defined from Children with Meningitis

 Enteroviral meningitis (EVM) are the most common etiological agent for viral encephalitis, and are predominantly reported among children and always present as a milder clinical illness than other infectious causes which only need supportive therapy. More...

Molecular Characteristics of Leptomeningeal Melanoma Metastases Identified

 Patients with advanced melanoma who develop metastases in the leptomeninges, the fluid filled membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord, have an extremely poor prognosis. Most patients only survive for eight to 10 weeks after diagnosis. More...

Diagnostic Assay Identifies Leukemic Stem Cells

 Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is the most common type of leukemia in adults. It is characterized by the pathological expansion of immature cells (myeloblasts) that invade the bone marrow and expand into the blood, affecting the production of the rest of the healthy cells. More...

Higher Female TSH Associated With Lower Mannan-Binding Lectin

 Mannan-binding lectin (MBL) is a main component of the lectin pathway of the complement system. Lower MBL levels are associated with, among other conditions, hypothyroidism and adverse pregnancy outcomes. More...
