Various methods were proposed for phenotyping of patients by activity of cytochrome P450 1A2, each has some advantages and disadvantages. However, no reference parameters were developed for measuring CYP1A2 activity that could be used as a unified standard for phenotyping of patients. We propose a mathematic model of caffeine metabolism allowing calculation of rate constants for the formation of its primary metabolites. First-order rate constant of paraxanthine formation was tested as a new specific marker of isoenzyme 1A2 in healthy volunteers.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) currently lacks effective treatment options, and the restoration of neurological function remains a major challenge, with unmet clinical needs. Research has indicated that adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) can be induced to differentiate into neural-induced adipose-derived stem cells (NI-ADSCs) under specific inductive conditions, exhibiting excellent neuroregenerative capabilities. ADSCs were obtained from female SD rats and induced into NI-ADSCs.

Carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) and C-reactive protein (CRP) are biomacromolecules known as cancer and inflammatory markers. Thus, they play a crucial role in early cancer diagnosis, post-treatment recurrence detection, and tumor risk assessment. This paper describes the development of an ultrasensitive and selective imprinted paper-based analytical device (PAD) as impedance sensor for determination of CEA and CRP in serum samples for point-of-care testing (POCT).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) adversely affects various organs, including the brain and its blood barrier. In addition to the brain, hyperglycemia damages the testes. The testes possess blood-tissue barriers that share common characteristics and proteins with the blood-brain barrier (BBB), including breast cancer-resistant protein (BCRP).

In the analysis of spatially resolved transcriptomics data, detecting spatially variable genes (SVGs) is crucial. Numerous computational methods exist, but varying SVG definitions and methodologies lead to incomparable results. We review 34 state-of-the-art methods, classifying SVGs into three categories: overall, cell-type-specific, and spatial-domain-marker SVGs.

Background: Adalimumab biosimilar MSB11022 (Idacio®) has been approved for the same indications as its originator (Humira®), based on findings from clinical trials in plaque psoriasis. Data on its efficacy and safety in inflammatory bowel disease, however, are scarce.

Methods: Retrospective, observational study of 44 patients with inflammatory bowel disease: 30 were treated with originator adalimumab, five were directly started on MSB11022, and nine switched from originator to biosimilar adalimumab.
