متن کاملNitrogen Biobank for Cardiovascular Research
Biobanks play a crucial role in "-Omics" research providing well-annotated samples to study major diseases, their pathways and mechanisms. Accordingly, there are major efforts worldwide to professionalize biobanks in order to provide high quality preservation and storage of biological samples with potentially greater scientific impact. Biobanks are an important resource to elucidate relevant di...
متن کاملUK Biobank: a model for public engagement?
Whilst in other applications of genetic technology the public debate has begun only when a piece of research has been completed, public consultations on biobanking began in 2000, before the funding for UK Biobank was even agreed, and have continued throughout its development. UK Biobank has obvious attractions for the British public. It is being set up specifically as a resource for research in...
متن کاملLifestyle factors and prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in UK Biobank: Implications for epidemiological research
BACKGROUND The central role of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) testing in the diagnosis of prostate cancer leads to the possibility that observational studies that report associations between risk factors and prostate cancer could be affected by detection bias. This study aims to investigate whether reported risk factors for prostate cancer are associated with PSA testing in a large middle-aged...
متن کاملCardiovascular science: opportunities for translating research into improved care.
Cardiovascular research is progressing on many fronts, as highlighted in the collection of Reviews in this issue of the JCI. MicroRNAs that regulate cardiac function have been implicated in cardiac disorders, and efforts to develop therapeutic antagomirs are underway. The genetic bases of several cardiac disorders, including cardiomyopathies that cause heart failure and channelopathies that und...
