There are currently no disease-modifying treatments for Alzheimer's disease (AD), and an understanding of preclinical causal biomarkers to help target pathogenesis in the earliest phases remains elusive. Here, we investigated whether 19 metabolites previously associated with midlife cognition-a predictor AD-translate later clinical risk, using Mendelian randomization (MR) tease out AD-specific relationships. Summary statistics from largest genome-wide association studies (GWASs) AD were used...

Background and aims The shortage of organs for transplantation has led to increased use procured from donors after cardiac death (DCD). effects on the liver remain poorly understood, however. Using livers obtained DCD versus brain (DBD), we aimed understand how ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury alters expression pro-inflammatory markers ceramides influences graft leukocyte infiltration. Methods Hepatocyte inflammation, as assessed by ceramide expression, was evaluated in (n = 13) DBD 10)...

For individuals migrating to or residing permanently in high-altitude regions, environmental hypobaric hypoxia is a primary challenge that induces several physiological pathological responses. It well documented human beings adapt via some protective mechanisms, such as erythropoiesis and overproduction of hemoglobin; however, little known on the alterations plasma proteome profiles accommodation hypoxia.

Some studies of high altitude populations argue that stature reduction results from caloric, rather than hypoxic, stress. However, tradeoff models oxygen and glucose metabolism predict in hypoxemia, will be downregulated. We used assumptions two hypotheses: First, hypoxia targets leg segment growth differentially, second, proportions segments partition the impact into hypoxemic energetic components. A group 113 Han Tibetan middle school children at 3100 m aged 8 to 11 were measured for...

Abstract In mammalian cell culture producing therapeutic proteins, one of the important challenges is use several complex raw materials whose compositional variability relatively high and their influences on poorly understood. Under these circumstances, application spectroscopic techniques combined with chemometrics can provide fast, simple, non‐destructive ways to evaluate material quality, leading more consistent performance. this study, a comprehensive data fusion strategy combining...

Abstract Finding specific biomarkers of liver damage in clinical evaluations could increase the pool available organs for transplantation. Lipids are key regulators cell necrosis and hence this study hypothesised that lipid levels be altered suffering severe ischemia. Matched pre- post-transplant biopsies from donation after circulatory death (DCD, n = 36, mean warm ischemia time 21min) brain (DBD, 76, none) were collected. Lipidomic discovery multivariate analysis (MVA) applied. Afterwards,...

Monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are currently the dominant class of biopharmaceuticals. Due to high dosage requirements most mAb therapeutics, productivity and low aggregation prevailing criteria during cell line generation process development. Given that light chains (LCs) play an important role in antibody folding assembly, producing lines also manufacture free LCs, we sought investigate whether there was a relationship between LC levels culture media productivity/quality. To this end, series...

Abstract Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) is a metabolically diverse biofluid and key specimen for exploring biochemical changes in neurodegenerative diseases. Detecting lipid species CSF using mass spectrometry (MS)-based techniques remains challenging because lipids are highly complex structure, their concentrations span over broad dynamic range. This work aimed to develop robust lipidomics metabolomics method based on commonly used two-phase extraction systems from human samples. Prioritizing...
