The urgent need for new tools for the early diagnosis of prostate cancer (PCa) has prompted us to investigate the proteomic profile of urine during the course of prostate carcinogenesis. Using an established animal model of prostate adenocarcinoma, we performed a comprehensive analysis of the proteo...
Coronary artery disease (CAD) and the frequently coexisting aortic valve stenosis (AS) are the heart diseases accounting for the highest proportion of cardiac surgeries. Routine biomarkers for an earl detection of either of these atherosclerotic-rooted conditions would be important to anticipate the...

Prostate cancer (PCa) is one of the most prevalent cancers among men and the fifth leading cause of cancer-related death in men. Currently, PCa suspicion is based on abnormal digital rectal examination and/or raised PSA serum levels, with prostate needle biopsy being required for a definitive diagno...
Patients with aortic stenosis are often indicated to aortic valve replacement to relief pressure overload. After surgery, patients experience a myocardial response commonly known as reverse remodeling, where structural and functional recovery are expected. Notwithstanding, some patients exhibit an i...
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a serious condition characterized by the progressive narrowing of the aortic valve, associated with a continuous rise in left ventricle pressure overload. Currently, aortic valve replacement (AVR) remains as the definitive treatment for AS, since an immediate dissipatio...

Currently, aortic valve replacement (AVR) remains as the definitive treatment for AS, since an immediate dissipatio...
The identification of putative biomarkers for predicting abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression can be achieved through proteomic strategies, particularly with shotgun proteomics. However, the heterogeneity of AAA tissue poses challenges for tissue homogenization and protein extraction, comprom...
Managing aortic valve stenosis (AVS) is challenging because of the lack of pharmacotherapies to halt/revert stenosis, deeming aortic valve replacement (AVR) the only effective treatment. AVS management is further confronted with staggering sexual dimorphism; women display more extensive fibrosis, wh...
Despite the invasive nature of its collection, being in close contact to the heart, the pericardial fluid (PF) proteome reflects the pathophysiological status of this organ. Therefore, whenever it is available, e.g. on occasion of open-heart surgery, PF proteomic analysis can give important clues of...
