Maternal Multiomic Changes Could Predict Onset of Labor

Currently, predictions of when labor will start are imprecise and based on gestational age and an average pregnancy length of 40 weeks, even though the onset of labor between week 37 and 42 of pregnancy is considered normal. Having a better idea of when labor may arrive could help with planning and managing medical concerns like fetal lung maturation. More...

Meconium Microbiome Can Help Predict Risk of Developing Allergies

Meconium, which is typically passed within the first day of life, is made up of a variety of materials ingested and excreted during development, ranging from skin cells, amniotic fluid and various molecules known as metabolites. More...

ANGPTL8 Levels Associated with Hyperlipidemia in Primary Nephrotic Syndrome

The typical clinical manifestations of Primary Nephrotic Syndrome (PNS) include massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, edema and/or hyperlipidemia. Of these, marked proteinuria is the core clinical manifestation, and its severity often parallels the degree of hyperlipidemia. More...

Altered Perivascular Fibroblast Activity Precedes ALS Disease Onset

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease of the motor neurons that eventually causes muscular atrophy, paralysis and death. There is currently no cure. The cause of ALS is only understood in the 5% to 10% of patients who have an inherited form of the disease. More...

Blood-Based Markers Tied to Brain Cell and Memory Loss

Previous studies have linked elevated levels of plasma total tau and neurofilament light chain (NfL) with worse cognition and neuroimaging measures of cortical thickness, cortical atrophy, white matter hyperintensity, or white matter integrity. More...

Serum α-L-Fucosidase Activity Measured for COVID-19 Infection

An unusual fucosylated LacdiNAc in the receptor-binding domains of the spike protein of COVID-19 has been observed. Reduced fucosylation was also found in a specific Fc domain of IgG antibodies in COVID-19 patients that enhanced the interactions with the activating FcγR, FcγRIIIa. More...
