Biomarkers of browning of white adipose tissue and their regulation during exercise- and diet-induced weight loss [PDF]
Background: A hypothesis exists whereby an exercise- or dietary-induced negative energy balance reduces human subcutaneous white adipose tissue (scWAT) mass through the formation of brown-like adipocyte (brite) cells.

Identification of plasma lipid biomarkers for prostate cancer by lipidomics and bioinformatics [PDF]
Background: Lipids have critical functions in cellular energy storage, structure and signaling. Many individual lipid molecules have been associated with the evolution of prostate cancer; however, none of them has been approved to be used as a ...

Identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers in high-dimensional data with PPLasso [PDF]
In clinical trials, identification of prognostic and predictive biomarkers is essential to precision medicine. Prognostic biomarkers can be useful for the prevention of the occurrence of the disease, and predictive biomarkers can be used to identify patients with potential benefit from the treatment.

ST2 and Multimarker Testing in Acute Decompensated Heart Failure [PDF]
Most data on heart failure biomarkers have been derived from patient cohorts with chronic disease. However, risk prediction in patients admitted with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) remains a challenge.

Nonparametric empirical Bayes biomarker imputation and estimation [PDF]
Biomarkers are often measured in bulk to diagnose patients, monitor patient conditions, and research novel drug pathways. The measurement of these biomarkers often suffers from detection limits that result in missing and untrustworthy measurements. Frequently, missing biomarkers are imputed so that down-stream analysis can be conducted with modern ...

Biomarkers: a strategic tool in the assessment of environmental quality of coastal waters [PDF]
Ecosystems are under the pressure of complex mixtures of contaminants whose effects are not always simple to assess. Biomarkers, acting as early warning signals of the presence of potentially toxic xenobiotics, are useful tools for assessing either ...

SummaryA biomarker is defined as an objectively measured characteristic of a normal or pathologic biologic process. Identification and proper validation of biomarkers of epileptogenesis (the development of epilepsy) and ictogenesis (the propensity to generate spontaneous seizures) might predict the development of an epilepsy condition; identify the ...

Increased Drp1 promotes autophagy and ESCC progression by mtDNA stress mediated cGAS-STING pathway
Background Mitochondrial dynamics homeostasis is important for cell metabolism, growth, proliferation, and immune responses. The critical GTPase for mitochondrial fission, Drp1 is frequently upregulated in many cancers and is closely implicated in ...
