Leg ulcers are among the most burdensome complications of sickle cell disease (SCD), yet the molecular determinants underlying ulcer susceptibility and recurrence remain incompletely characterized. We performed untargeted plasma lipidomics by LC–MS in 129 individuals with SCD from the REDS-III Br...
This study investigated mid-trimester plasma metabolomic profiles in pregnant women to identify biomarkers associated with Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and preterm birth. A total of 149 participants were categorized into four groups: 32 with PCOS and preterm delivery, 34 with PCOS and term de...
The ultimate goal of surgical treatment in cancer is to remove the tumor mass for restoring a healthy state. A 16-lipid panel that discriminated healthy controls from clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) patients in a prior study was evaluated in the present work in paired-serum samples collec...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive inflammatory disorder with rising global morbidity and mortality. Emerging evidence suggests that systemic metabolic alterations, particularly dyslipidemia, contribute to COPD pathogenesis. However, the mechanisms link...
Chagas disease causes a cardiac illness characterized by immunoinflammatory reactions leading to myocardial fibrosis and remodeling. The development of Chronic Chagas Cardiomyopathy (CCC) in some patients while others remain asymptomatic is not fully understood, but dysregulated inflammatory resp...
Anti-CD19 chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) T-cell therapy for relapsed or refractory (r/r) large B-cell lymphoma (LBCL) results in durable response in only a subset of patients. MYC overexpression in LBCL tumors is associated with poor response to treatment. We tested whether a MYC-driven polyamin...
