Highly Sensitive Thyroglobulin Chemiluminescent Microparticle Immunoassay Evaluated
Differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) is the most frequent endocrine malignancy. Standard treatment of DTC is thyroidectomy plus, for high risk cases, radioactive iodine ablation therapy, and pharmacological suppression of TSH. More...20 Jul 2022

Glycans on CD4+ T Cells Impact HIV Susceptibility
High-parameter single-cell phenotyping has enabled in-depth classification and interrogation of immune cells, but to date has not allowed for glycan characterization. Living cells have a sugar coating. These sugars include molecules called glycans, which help cells, interact with other biological entities. More...13 Jul 2022

Anti-Double Stranded DNA Antibodies Diagnose Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Anti-double-stranded deoxyribonucleic acid antibodies (anti-dsDNA Abs) embrace antibodies with a wide spectrum of fine molecular specificities that are produced persistently in the context of true autoimmunity or transiently in context of infections or other clinical conditions. More...13 Jul 2022

Immunobiomarkers in Chronic Rhinosinusitis Correlate with Clinical Severity
Chronic rhinosinusitis comprises a heterogeneous group of inflammatory disorders. It is assumed that the disease process lasts over 12 weeks and is accompanied by two or more symptoms, such as nasal discharge/postnasal drip, nasal congestion, sinus pain/pressure, and anosmia/hyposmia. More...06 Jul 2022

Maternal Autoantibody Profiles Are Biomarkers for Autism
Autism is a neurodevelopment condition affecting 1 in 44 children in the U.S. It has a wide range of characteristics with different intensities and causes. One type of autism is maternal autoantibody–related autism spectrum disorder (MAR ASD). More...28 Jun 2022

Caspase-6-Cleaved Tau Is Relevant in Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is characterized by the formation of aggregates of the tau protein in brain cells called neurofibrillary tangles. Although deposits of the amyloid β-protein are also found in AD brains, some scientists think that the tau protein aggregates are primarily responsible for the development of AD. More...27 Jun 2022
