Prognostic Value of Specific Biomarker in Prostate Cancer Authenticated
Prostate cancer (PC) is the most commonly diagnosed cancer in Canadian men. In men with high-risk PC, progression of the disease will lead to biochemical recurrence (BCR), distant metastases, and disease-specific mortality. More...20 Aug 2019


Serum Siderocalin Measured in Patients with TB and HIV
Tuberculosis (TB) continues to be a significant cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide. The progression from uninfected or latently infected to active TB is often insidious and has minimal symptoms in the initial months, resulting in delayed diagnosis and poor outcomes. More...14 Aug 2019

Allergy Risk Increased by Compound Found in Infant Gut
Gut microbiota (formerly called gut flora) is the name given today to the microbe population living in our intestine. A recent study of newborn infants has identified a compound produced by gut bacteria that appears to predispose certain infants to allergies and asthma later in life. More...14 Aug 2019

T Follicular Helper Cells Retain Lymphoid Characteristics
T follicular helper cells (Tfh) are a subset of CD4+ T cells that provide B cell help within the follicles of secondary lymphoid tissues. Tfh promote B cell class switching and affinity maturation, and without Tfh help, germinal centers (GC) fail to form. More...13 Aug 2019

Abnormal Metabolite Observed in Early CKD Patients
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) has been a growing health burden worldwide, and the patients with CKD continue to suffer from a wide range of complication including electrolyte imbalance, fluid overload, bone and mineral metabolism disorder to anemia. More...06 Aug 2019
