Blood microsampling technologies: Innovations and applications in 2022
Analytical Science Advances, Volume 4, Issue 5-6, Page 154-180, July 2023., 2023 Abstract With the development of highly sensitive bioanalytical techniques, the volume of samples necessary for accurate analysis has reduced. Microsampling, the process of obtaining small amounts of blood, has thus gained popularity as it offers minimal‐invasiveness, reduced logistical costs and biohazard risks while simultaneously showing increased ...

International Journal of Food Science, Volume 2023, Issue 1, 2023., 2023 Some plant foods evolve defense mechanisms to protect themselves from predators by producing inherent chemicals as secondary metabolites such as cyanogenic glycosides, glycoalkaloids, glucosinolates, pyrrolizidine alkaloids, and lectins. These metabolites are beneficial for the plant itself but toxic to other organisms, including human beings.

Quantification of L-Abrine in Human and Rat Urine: A Biomarker for the Toxin Abrin [PDF]
Journal of Analytical Toxicology, 2009 Abrin is a toxic protein found in the jequirity seed. L-Abrine (N-methyl-tryptophan) is also found in the jequirity seed and can be used as a biomarker for abrin exposure. Analysis of L-abrine was added to an existing method for quantifying ricinine as a marker for ricin exposure in human urine and analytically validated.

Journal of Oncology, Volume 2022, Issue 1, 2022., 2022 Background. Liver cancer is the most malignant type of human malignancies. In recent years, immune therapy that targets the immune check points such as programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD‐L1) has achieve great success. Abrine is the dominant alkaloid in Abrus cantoniensis and Abrus precatorius Linn. that exhibited anticancer effect.
