A novel diagnostic serum protein signature for pediatric inflammatory bowel disease
Journal of Pediatric Gastroenterology and Nutrition, EarlyView.Abstract Objectives Diagnostic delay is common in pediatric inflammatory bowel disease (PIBD), and fecal calprotectin (FCP) is often limited by challenges with sample collection. Therefore, we aimed to identify and validate a blood‐based diagnostic protein signature of PIBD.

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Cyanobacterial harmful algal blooms (cyanoHABs) threaten human, animal, and ecosystem health and safety through production of toxic secondary metabolites. Microcystis, a cosmopolitan bloom‐forming cyanobacterial genus, is well‐known for producing hepatotoxic microcystins (MCs), but it can produce many other bioactive cyanopeptides, such as ...

Functional variant of the carboxypeptidase M (CPM) gene may affect silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility by its expression: a multistage case-control study. [PDF]
, 2019 ObjectivesIn a genome-wide association study, we discovered chromosome 12q15 (defined as rs73329476) as a silica-related pneumoconiosis susceptibility region. However, the causal variants in this region have not yet been reported.MethodsWe systematically

Mediation of Polygenic Asthma Risk Through Gene Expression
Allergy, EarlyView.We apply published PRSs in African‐ancestry individuals and quantify the extent to which the PRS‐asthma relationship is mediated by clinical biomarkers and gene‐expression signatures of asthma. We found the best PRS to be the one derived using the largest sample size and including African‐ancestry individuals.

Molecular Mechanisms of Secreting Vesicle Biogenesis and Secretion in Chronic Degenerative Diseases [PDF]
, 2012 Regulated trafficking and secretion of insulin by the β cell of the endocrine pancreas is critical to maintain our body energy homeostasis. Disruption of these processes typically leads to hyperglycemia and the complications of diabetes.
