Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a prevalent malignant tumor worldwide, with a high mortality rate due to its complex etiology and limited early screening techniques. This study aimed to identify potential biomarkers for early detection of CRC utilizing targeted metabolite profiling of platelet-rich plasma (PRP). Based on multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis identified metabolites in PRP collected from patients with CRC (n = 70) and healthy controls (n = 30).

Environmental pollutants including ultrafine particulate matter (UFPs) and adverse meteorological conditions pose significant public health impacts, particularly affecting respiratory health. This study aims to elucidate the synergistic effects of cold-humid conditions and UFPs exposure on respiratory health, utilizing Carbon Black Nanoparticles (CB-NPs) as surrogates for UFPs. Through comprehensive lung function tests, histopathological examinations, and biomarker analyses, this research focuses on the modulation of oxidative stress signaling pathways and NF-κB activation.

Background: Vitamin D is thought to play a role in the development of migraine, but the nature of the relationship is still not fully understood. Although some studies have shown an association between vitamin D deficiency and migraine, other studies have had inconsistent or inconclusive results. Therefore, further research is needed to better understand the relationship between vitamin D and migraine headaches.

Background: Microglia are dominant immune cells residing in the brain that regulate brain homeostasis and T-cell responses. An important immune function of microglia involves presenting microbial antigens to mucosal-associated invariant T (MAIT) cells; MAIT cells recognize microbial vitamin B-derived metabolites presented by the MHC class I-like molecule, MR1. Our recent findings highlighted a detrimental role for the MR1/MAIT cell axis in Alzheimer's disease (AD) using the 5XFAD mouse model.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease and a leading cause of senile dementia. Accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in the brains causes chronic neuroinflammation, synaptic loss, and neurovascular damage, which is thought to initiate decades-long AD pathogenesis. Recent clinical trials for anti-Aβ immunotherapy highlights the utility of biomarkers that faithfully reflect Aβ-related brain pathology to diagnose AD at the preclinical stage, to predict the onset and progression of the disease, and to assess the therapeutic efficacy of drugs.
