Despite its strong association with disease severity, serum C-reactive protein (CRP) demonstrates limited utility as a standalone screening tool for tuberculosis (TB) in high-prevalence HIV settings. In this study, CRP…
Airway epithelial cells are pivotal in initiating and sustaining inflammation during allergic asthma, particularly in response to respiratory viral infections. The presence of a Th2 cytokine milieu—characterized by elevated IL-4…
The identification of reliable biomarkers for predicting response to platinum-based chemotherapy is essential for personalizing cancer treatment and improving patient outcomes. Among the emerging candidates, copper transporter receptor 1 (CTR1)…
The volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by *Muscodor albus* MOW12 were comprehensively analyzed using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) to elucidate their chemical composition and biological significance. The VOC profile was…
Objective: To examine the association between fish consumption, erythrocyte omega-3 fatty acid levels, and preterm birth in a cohort of women with prior spontaneous preterm delivery. Methods: This was a…
The accurate quantification of gene expression in ovarian tumours hinges on the use of stably expressed reference genes (RGs) for normalization in RT-qPCR assays. This study systematically evaluated 13 candidate…
Triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) remains a significant clinical challenge due to its aggressive behavior, lack of hormone receptors, and absence of HER-2 amplification, which limits the availability of targeted…
Long chain omega-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC n-3 PUFAs) are known to confer cardiovascular benefits through the improvement of endothelial function. Endothelial cells store von Willebrand factor (vWF) within cytoplasmic…
Transverse aortic constriction is a well-established experimental technique used in rodents to induce pressure overload, leading to left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) and eventually heart failure. Over time, various methods have…
Melanoma remains one of the most lethal forms of skin cancer, particularly when it progresses to metastatic stages. Despite advances in targeted therapies and immunotherapies, the prognosis for patients with…
