Improving the Diagnostic Accuracy of Plasma Alzheimer's Disease Biomarkers With Objective and Subjective Cognitive Screening

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Blood‐based biomarkers are increasingly used to identify Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology and may play an important role in early disease screening and participant selection for clinical trials. However, their performance across stages of cognitive impairment remains unclear. This study examined whether plasma biomarkers differ in

Presoaking dried blood spot with water improves efficiency for small-molecule analysis

BioTechniques, 2019
The current method of extracting small molecules from dried blood spots (DBSs) and liquid blood is similar. However, owing to their different physical characteristics, a modification of the extraction process for DBS is required.

Sensitive Detection of SARS-CoV-2–Specific Antibodies in Dried Blood Spot Samples

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2020
Dried blood spot (DBS) samples can be used for the detection of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 spike antibodies. DBS sampling is comparable to matched serum samples with a relative 98.1% sensitivity and 100% specificity.

Melanin's Role in Balancing Mechanical Strength and Reproductive Output in Environmentally Stressed Fungal Spores

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Melanin content directly controls fungal spore mechanical properties, with pigmented spores achieving rupture forces two orders of magnitude higher than hyaline spores. Environmental stress drives this quantity‐quality tradeoff; stressed species invest energy in melanin‐reinforced, mechanically superior thick‐walled, super‐hydrophobic spores, while ...

Dried blood spots: An evaluation of utility in the field

Journal of Infection and Public Health, 2018
Use of dried blood spots (DBS) offers advantages over serum samples in studies conducted in resource-poor settings. The aim of this study was to compare the number of adequate spots collected across different demographic groups.Five DBS were collected from 3316 individuals aged 0-49 years in Tianjin, China for a measles antibody study; DBS were rated ...
