Arab Journal of Urology, 2013
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is a common risk factor in men and its incidence increases with age. Ageing and older men frequently have comorbidities such as cardiovascular diseases (CVD), diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and dyslipidaemia; likewise, they concurrently refer to a clinician for impairments in sexual

Subpar reporting of pre‐analytical variables in RNA‐focused blood plasma studies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Pre‐analytical variables strongly influence the analysis of extracellular RNA (cell‐free RNA; exRNA) derived from blood plasma. Their reporting is essential to allow interpretation and replication of results. By evaluating 200 exRNA studies, we pinpoint a lack of reporting pre‐analytical variables associated with blood collection, plasma preparation ...

Surfaceome: a new era in the discovery of immune evasion mechanisms of circulating tumor cells

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
In the era of immunotherapies, many patients either do not respond or eventually develop resistance. We propose to pave the way for proteomic analysis of surface‐expressed proteins called surfaceome, of circulating tumor cells. This approach seeks to identify immune evasion mechanisms and discover potential therapeutic targets. Circulating tumor cells (

Clinical applications of next‐generation sequencing‐based ctDNA analyses in breast cancer: defining treatment targets and dynamic changes during disease progression

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) offers a possibility for different applications in early and late stage breast cancer management. In early breast cancer tumor informed approaches are increasingly used for detecting molecular residual disease (MRD) and early recurrence. In advanced stage, ctDNA provides a possibility for monitoring disease progression and
