Metrnβ drives sepsis immunosuppression via macrophage reprogramming: A novel prognostic biomarker and therapeutic target

Interdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Metrnβ serves as a novel prognostic biomarker for sepsis and that targeted blockade of the Metrnβ‐c‐Kit axis represents a promising therapeutic strategy for sepsis. Abstract Sepsis is a heterogeneous syndrome critically driven by immunosuppression, yet lacking personalized prognostic markers and therapeutic targets. Here, we provide evidence to support

Exploring the Chemical Complexity and Toxicological Behaviour of Semi‐permanent Make‐Up Pigments: A Systematic Review

Journal of Applied Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Semi‐permanent make‐up (SPMU), or micropigmentation, involves implanting pigments into the dermal layer of the skin for cosmetic enhancement. Unlike topical cosmetics, which are rapidly cleared from the body, SPMU pigments persist in living tissues, raising unique toxicological considerations.

A Practical and Efficient Multiplex qPCR Assay for Simultaneous Detection of HLA Cross‐Reactive Groups and Human Platelet Antigens

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
This assay enables multiplex genotyping of HLA‐CREGs and HPA alleles from whole blood using qPCR with an integrated parallel negative control. Results are interpreted based on amplification curves and Ct values, with validity dependent on strict quality control criteria for both the target reactions and the negative control.
