Identification of differentially expressed genes and signaling pathways with Candida infection by bioinformatics analysis.

Background: Opportunistic Candida species causes severe infections when the human immune system is weakened, leading to high mortality.

Methods: In our study, bioinformatics analysis was used to study the high-throughput sequencing data of samples infected with four kinds of Candida species. And the hub genes were obtained by statistical analysis.

Meta-Analysis of the Diagnostic Efficacy of the Luminex xTAG Respiratory Viral Panel FAST v2 Assay for Respiratory Viral Infections.

Purpose: Acute respiratory viral infections pose significant morbidity and mortality, making it essential to diagnose respiratory viral infections rapidly. In this study, the diagnostic efficacy of the Luminex xTAG Respiratory Virus Panel (RVP) FAST v2 test was evaluated on respiratory viral infections.

Materials And Methods: Information was retrieved from electronic databases, including Embase, Web of Science, PubMed, and Cochrane Library, for systematic review.

Identification of potential biomarkers in dengue via integrated bioinformatic analysis.

Dengue fever virus (DENV) is a global health threat that is becoming increasingly critical. However, the pathogenesis of dengue has not yet been fully elucidated. In this study, we employed bioinformatics analysis to identify potential biomarkers related to dengue fever and clarify their underlying mechanisms.

SDF-1/CXCR4 axis coordinates crosstalk between subchondral bone and articular cartilage in osteoarthritis pathogenesis.

Crosstalk between subchondral bone and articular cartilage is considered a central feature of osteoarthritis (OA) initiation and progression, but its underlying molecular mechanism remains elusive. Meanwhile, specific administration of drugs in subchondral bone is also a great challenge during investigation of the process. We here explore the role of stromal cell-derived factor 1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor type 4 (CXCR4) axis in the crosstalk between subchondral bone and articular cartilage in OA pathogenesis, using osmotic infusion pumps implanted in tibial subchondral bone directly to ensure quantitative, continuous and steady drug delivery over the entire experiment.
