Immunohistochemistry Biomarkers Used to Subtype Gastric Intestinal Metaplasia

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common and third most lethal cancer globally. Patients with GC are often asymptomatic, with presentation occurring at advanced stage, and a low 5-year survival rate in most countries. Intestinal metaplasia is considered a key pivot point in the Correa model of GC. More...

Antibody Test Identifies Scleroderma Patients at High Risk for Pulmonary Hypertension

Scleroderma is caused by the immune system attacking the connective tissue under the skin and around internal organs and blood vessels. This causes scarring and thickening of the tissue in these areas. More...

Cytokine Signature Identifies COVID-19 Patients With Worst Prognosis

An overreaction of the immune system, in which excessive levels of proteins called cytokines produce damaging levels of inflammation, can lead to organ failure and death in COVID-19 patients. More...

Single-Cell Proteomics of Localized Prostate Cancer Defines Disease Heterogeneity

Prostate cancer affects about 12.6% of men over the course of their lives, and while most individuals with localized disease can be cured, disease does recur in a small number of patients. The treatment of localized prostate cancer is based on clinicopathological information including Gleason score, prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels, stage, and patient age. More...

Tumor Suppressor Adenomatous Polyposis Coli Regulates T Lymphocyte Migration

Familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease that often results from germline mutations in the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, a tumor suppressor and polarity regulator. APC protein regulates the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway as a component of the β-catenin destruction complex. More...

Neurofilament Light Biomarker Linked With Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson's disease is caused by a loss of nerve cells in part of the brain called the substantia nigra. This leads to a reduction in a chemical called dopamine in the brain. Blood biomarkers may allow earlier identification of Parkinson’s disease (PD), Parkinsonism, and poor PD-related outcomes, such as physical functioning. More...
