MetabolomicsA benchmark spike-in data set for biomarker identification in metabolomics
The development and the validation of innovative approaches for biomarker selection are of paramount importance in many -omics technologies. Unfortunately, the actual testing of new methods on real data is difficult, because in real data sets, one can never be sure about the “true” biomarkers. In th...

MetabolomicsSerum metabolomic profiles for distinguishing lung cancer from pulmonary tuberculosis: identification of rapid and noninvasive biomarker

BACKGROUND: Pulmonary tuberculosis (TB) and lung cancer (LC) have similar clinical symptoms and atypical imaging findings which are easily misdiagnosed. There is an urgent need for a noninvasive, rapid and accurate biomarker for distinguishing LC from TB.

METHODS:

MetabolomicsUrine metabolomics phenotyping and urinary biomarker exploratory in mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease.

INTRODUCTION Alzheimer's disease is a prevalent disease with a heavy global burden and is suggested to be a metabolic disease in the brain in recent years. The metabolome is considered to be the most promising phenotype which reflects changes in genetic, transcript, and protein ...

MetabolomicsMetabolic fingerprinting reveals a novel candidate biomarker for prednisolone treatment in cattle
The use of glucocorticoids as growth promoters for meat-producing animals is strictly regulated within the European Union. However, in the past few years, a higher frequency of non-compliant bovine urine samples for prednisolone has been noticed, which could not be directly related to fraudulent use...

MetabolomicsRefining the seminal biomarker detection: metabolome profiles before and after the liquefaction procedure
Semen metabolome analysis presents a promising approach to identify potential biomarkers. However, it remains unclear whether metabolites should be analyzed immediately from fresh ejaculate or after the liquefaction process in conjunction with routine semen quality assessments. To address this quest...

MetabolomicsUntargeted LC-HRMS Based-Plasma Metabolomics Reveals 3-O-Methyldopa as a New Biomarker of Poor Prognosis in High-Risk Neuroblastoma
Neuroblastoma (NB) is the most common extracranial malignant tumor in children. Although the survival rate of NB has improved over the years, the outcome of NB still remains poor for over 30% of cases. A more accurate risk stratification remains a key point in the study of NB and the availability of...

MetabolomicsBiomarker Discovery in Oral Cancer (OSMF & OSCC) and its severity

Oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) is frequently the outcome of oral submucous fibrosis (OSMF), a common possibly premalignant disease. In our study, a cohort of 50 patients with OSCC and OSMF, along with 50 healthy controls, was analyzed to identify significant metabolic differences between the...

MetabolomicsUntargeted Metabolomics Reveals a Mild Impact of Remote Ischemic Conditioning on the Plasma Metabolome and α-Hydroxybutyrate as a Possible Cardioprotective Factor and Biomarker of Tissue Ischemia
Remote ischemic conditioning (RIC) is a maneuver by which short non-lethal ischemic events are applied on distant organs or limbs to reduce ischemia and reperfusion injuries caused by e.g. heart attacks. As RIC can be induced using a simple blood pressure cuff e.g. prior to revascularization, it con...

MetabolomicsPharmacokinetic and urinary profiling reveals prednisolone/cortisol ratio as a valid biomarker for prednisolone administration
In Europe, synthetic corticosteroids are not allowed in animal breeding fro growth-promoting purposes. Nevertheless, a high prevalence of non-compliant urine samples was recently reported for prednisolone, however, without any indication of unauthorized use. Within this context, 20b-dihydroprednisol...

MetabolomicsChronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Biomarker Identification Study: Serum Lipidomics
The overall clinical study used a parallel-group, case-controlled study design in order to identify a biomarker or panel of biomarkers for the differentiation of subjects with mild to moderate COPD (GOLD stage I and II), asymptomatic current smokers, former smokers and never-smokers and to compare p...
