Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) flare-ups exhibit symptoms that are similar to other diseases and conditions, making diagnosis and treatment complicated. Currently, the gold standard for diagnosing and monitoring IBD is colonoscopy and biopsy, which are invasive and uncomfortable procedures, and the fecal calprotectin test, which is not sufficiently accurate. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an alternative method.

Article Synopsis
  • Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is a serious condition affecting premature infants in NICUs, and early indicators could help intervene before symptoms arise.* -
  • This study analyzed daily stool samples from 132 very-low-birth-weight infants to explore fecal biomarkers for NEC prediction using advanced proteomics technology.* -
  • Results showed that a specific set of 36 proteins could predict NEC development in infants up to a week before diagnosis, highlighting the potential for early detection methods.*

Lower respiratory tract infections lead to significant morbidity and mortality. They are increasingly caused by multidrug-resistant pathogens, notably in individuals with cystic fibrosis, hospital-acquired pneumonia and lung transplantation. The use of bacteriophages (phages) to treat bacterial infections is gaining growing attention, with numerous published cases of compassionate treatment over the last few years.

Purpose: Nonmuscle myosin II complexes are master regulators of actin dynamics that play essential roles during embryogenesis with vertebrates possessing 3 nonmuscle myosin II heavy chain genes, MYH9, MYH10, and MYH14. As opposed to MYH9 and MYH14, no recognizable disorder has been associated with MYH10. We sought to define the clinical characteristics and molecular mechanism of a novel autosomal dominant disorder related to MYH10.
