Metadata for Data dIscoverability aNd Study rEplicability in obseRVAtional Studies (MINERVA): Development and Pilot of a Metadata List and Catalogue in Europe.

Purpose: Metadata for data dIscoverability aNd study rEplicability in obseRVAtional studies (MINERVA), a European Medicines Agency-funded project (EUPAS39322), defined a set of metadata to describe real-world data sources (RWDSs) and piloted metadata collection in a prototype catalogue to assist investigators from data source discoverability through study conduct.

Methods: A list of metadata was created from a review of existing metadata catalogues and recommendations, structured interviews, a stakeholder survey, and a technical workshop. The prototype was designed to comply with the FAIR principles (findable, accessible, interoperable, reusable), using MOLGENIS software.

Elevated TFPI is a prognostic factor in hepatocellular carcinoma: Putative role of miR-7-5p and miR-1236-3p.

Background: Primary liver cancer is the third leading cause of cancer related deaths worldwide, and the disease is associated with high incidence rate of thrombosis. Studies indicate that Tissue Factor Pathway Inhibitor (TFPI) plays a role in cancer development. We aimed to study its expression, clinical role and regulation by micro RNAs (miRNAs) in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).

Interleukin-13 Treatment of Living Lung Tissue Model Alters the Metabolome and Proteome-A Nano-DESI MS Metabolomics and Shotgun Proteomics Study.

Asthma is a chronic respiratory disease with one of the largest numbers of cases in the world; thus, constant investigation and technical development are needed to unravel the underlying biochemical mechanisms. In this study, we aimed to develop a nano-DESI MS method for the in vivo characterization of the cellular metabolome. Using air-liquid interface (ALI) cell layers, we studied the role of Interleukin-13 (IL-13) on differentiated lung epithelial cells acting as a lung tissue model.

Coagulation factor V in breast cancer: a p53-regulated tumor suppressor and predictive marker for treatment response to chemotherapy.

Background: Patients with cancer are at an increased risk of developing coagulation complications, and chemotherapy treatment increases the risk. Tumor progression is closely linked to the hemostatic system. Breast cancer tumors express coagulation factor V (FV), an essential factor in blood coagulation.
