Testing for Non‐Severe Heritable Platelet Function Disorders

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Heritable platelet function disorders (HPFD) are a diverse group of bleeding disorders characterised by a primary qualitative defect in platelet function rather than platelet number. HPFD may be broadly categorised according to the severity of bleeding, with Glanzmann thrombasthenia and Bernard Soulier syndrome classically considered severe ...

Impact of Heat Block Drying on Morphologic Preservation and Staining of Peripheral Blood Smears

International Journal of Laboratory Hematology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Morphologic evaluation of the peripheral blood smear is critical for diagnosis and ruling out certain hematologic disorders. While air‐drying is standard, some laboratories may use heat blocks to expedite drying. Excessive heat may induce morphologic artifacts, but there is a lack of systematic literature on this practice ...

From biology to biotechnology: Host‐regulation factors from parasitoid wasps are a source of bioactive molecules with translational potential

Insect Molecular Biology, EarlyView.
Parasitoid wasps deploy maternal and embryonic factors to reprogramme host physiology. Venom, calyx fluid, polydnaviruses, teratocytes and larval secretions act in a coordinated, compartmentalised manner. Host‐regulation factors are promising sources of insecticidal, antimicrobial and bioinspired translational molecules.

Serum‐derived microribonucleic acids as potential novel biomarkers for slowly progressive type 1 diabetes mellitus

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, EarlyView.
This study evaluated serum miRNAs as biomarkers in adult patients with SPIDDM. Serum miRNAs were measured at the time of SPIDDM (probable) diagnosis, and miR‐150‐5p was inversely associated with CPI at the last outpatient visit, suggesting its potential utility for predicting subsequent insulin secretory decline.
