Circulating inflammatory proteins and osteomyelitis: A bidirectional Mendelian randomization and colocalization analysis. [PDF]
Circulating inflammatory proteins (CIPs) have been implicated in the progression of osteomyelitis (OM); however, whether these proteins play a causal role or are merely a consequence remains unclear. This study aimed to assess the causal relationships between CIPs and OM using a bidirectional 2-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) approach.

Causal insights into multiple myeloma: The impact of circulating inflammatory proteins and metabolites. [PDF]
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous hematologic malignancy characterized by high recurrence rates and incurability despite therapeutic advances. Emerging evidence implicates circulating inflammatory proteins, plasma metabolites, and leukocyte characteristics in MM pathogenesis, though their specific causal roles remain unclear.

Circulating Fibroblast Activation Protein as Potential Biomarker in Patients With Inflammatory Bowel Disease [PDF]
A major concern in the management of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) is the absence of accurate and specific biomarkers to drive diagnosis and monitor disease status timely and non-invasively. Fibroblast activation protein (FAP) represents a hallmark of IBD bowel strictures, being overexpressed in stenotic intestinal myofibroblasts.

Longitudinal study of circulating protein biomarkers in inflammatory bowel disease [PDF]
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBDs) are chronic and progressive inflammatory disorders of the gastrointestinal tract. In IBD, protein serological biomarkers could be relevant tools for assessing disease activity, performing early-stage diagnosis and managing the treatment.
