Normal values for segmental bioimpedance spectroscopy in pediatric patients. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Localized limb edema is a clinically relevant sign in diseases such as post-thrombotic syndrome and lymphedema. Quantitative evaluation of localized edema in children is mainly done by measuring the absolute difference in limb circumference, which ...

Organizing the interface—Plasma membrane architecture and receptor dynamics in virus‐cell interactions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Plasma membranes contain dynamic nanoscale domains that organize lipids and receptors. Because viruses operate at similar scales, this architecture shapes early infection steps, including attachment, receptor engagement, and entry. Using influenza A virus and HIV‐1 as examples, we highlight how receptor nanoclusters, multivalent glycan interactions ...

Compartmentalized profiling of amniotic fluid cytokines in women with preterm labor.

PLoS ONE, 2020
ObjectiveAmniotic fluid cytokines have been implicated in the mechanisms of preterm labor and birth. Cytokines can be packaged within or on the surface of extracellular vesicles.

Three phosphatase families form a community: The phosphohydrolases that act upon inositol pyrophosphates

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Inositol pyrophosphates are energy‐rich signaling molecules that perform critical functions in cells. Three different families of phosphatases hydrolyze the β phosphate of the inositol pyrophosphate molecules: two have narrow specificities and one is promiscuous.

Bioimpedance spectroscopy for assessment of volume status in patients before and after general anaesthesia.

PLoS ONE, 2014
BackgroundTechnically assisted assessment of volume status before surgery may be useful to direct intraoperative fluid administration. We therefore tested a recently developed whole-body bioimpedance spectroscopy device to determine pre- to postoperative

Flux of free fatty acids among host tissues, ascites fluid, and Ehrlich ascites carcinoma cells

Journal of Lipid Research, 1974
The role of plasma free fatty acids (FFA) in the transport of fatty acids from host tissues to Ehrlich ascites carcinoma in mice was studied. [9,10-3H]Palmitate complexed to mouse serum (albumin) was injected either intraperitoneally or intravenously ...

Presence of distinctive microbiome in the first-pass meconium of newborn infants

Scientific Reports, 2021
We critically evaluated the fetal microbiome concept in 44 neonates with placenta, amniotic fluid, and first-pass meconium samples. Placental histology showed no signs of inflammation.

Modelling stem cell differentiation related processes—A practical overview for biologists

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Stem cell differentiation is complex and difficult to control experimentally. This review introduces suitable computational modelling approaches that can support stem cell research, from mechanistic ODE and abstract models to multiscale and deep learning methods.

Diagnostic utility of total adenosine deaminase as a biomarker in patients with transudates from pleural effusion syndrome

ABCS Health Sciences
Introduction: Accurately identifying pleural fluid as either transudate or exudate is critical. P-ADA, or the total pleural adenosine deaminase enzyme, is a reliable biomarker for distinguishing between transudates and exudates.
