Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: PD Generation, A North American Study

Parkinson’s Disease Variant Detection and Disclosure: Comprehensive Report Background Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder primarily characterized by motor dysfunction and non-motor symptoms. Research has shown that at least seven genes (LRRK2, GBA1, PRKN, SNCA, PINK1, PARK7, VPS35) are directly related to the occurr...

Development and Preclinical Validation of 2-Deoxy 2-[18F]Fluorocellobiose as an Aspergillus-Specific PET Tracer

Academic Report The incidence of global Invasive Fungal Infections (IFIs) has increased over the past few decades, primarily affecting immunocompromised patients, and these infections are often associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most common and deadly IFI pathogens. The main obstacles to effectiv...

High Sensitivity of Shotgun Metagenomic Sequencing in Colon Tissue Biopsy by Host DNA Depletion

High sensitivity of high-throughput metagenomic sequencing in colon tissue biopsies: Eliminating the impact of host DNA Background Evaluating bacterial taxonomic structure through next-generation sequencing without culturing has become a common method for studying the relationship between bacterial imbalance and various diseases. Previous studies h...

Novel Time-Dependent Multi-Omics Integration in Sepsis-Associated Liver Dysfunction

Time-Dependent Multi-Omics Integration in Sepsis-Associated Liver Dysfunction Introduction Sepsis, especially severe cases, causes multiple organ dysfunction due to systemic infection, resulting in up to 5 million deaths globally each year. Traditionally, Sepsis-Associated Liver Dysfunction (SALD) was considered a condition accompanied by jaundice ...

QDPR Deficiency Drives Immune Suppression in Pancreatic Cancer

Background Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a malignancy with a highly immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment (TME), showing strong resistance to immune checkpoint blockade (ICB) therapies, such as anti-PD-1 and anti-CTLA-4 treatments. Myeloid-Derived Suppressor Cells (MDSCs) derived from tumors play a critical role in tumor immune supp...
