Microparticles: biomarkers and beyond.
Membrane microparticles are submicron fragments of membrane shed into extracellular space from cells under conditions of stress/injury. They may be distinguished from other classes of extracellular vesicles (i.e. exosomes) on the basis of size, content and mechanism of formation. Microparticles are found in plasma and other biological fluids from healthy individuals and their levels are altered...
متن کاملTumor biomarkers: PSA and beyond.
Laboratory medicine plays an increasingly important role in the management of cancer patients (1, 2) . In none of the tumors has the advent of biomarkers changed the treatment in a more fundamental way than the introduction of prostate specifi c antigen (PSA) which has virtually transformed the management of prostate cancer. Prostate cancer represents a major public health problem. The last dec...
متن کاملNeuroendocrine biomarkers, social relations, and the cumulative costs of stress in Taiwan.
Allostatic load (AL) is thought to represent the physiological toll that builds up over the life course as a consequence of the body's response to stress. An important aim of this paper is to test this widely held-but little investigated-understanding of what AL represents. More specifically, using the Social Environment and Biomarkers of Aging Study (SEBAS), a nationally representative survey ...
متن کاملDNA Methylation Biomarkers: Cancer and Beyond
Biomarkers are naturally-occurring characteristics by which a particular pathological process or disease can be identified or monitored. They can reflect past environmental exposures, predict disease onset or course, or determine a patient's response to therapy. Epigenetic changes are such characteristics, with most epigenetic biomarkers discovered to date based on the epigenetic mark of DNA me...
متن کاملEstimating Urban Road Congestion Costs
Economists wishing to analyse road congestion and road pricing have usually relied on linkbased speed-flow relationships. These may provide a poor description of urban congestion, which mainly arises from delays at intersections. Using the simulation model SATURN, we investigate the second-best proportional traffic reduction and find that linear speed-flow relations describe network flows quite...
