Neuroendocrine neoplasms (NENs) arise from neuroendocrine cells in a wide variety of organs. One of the most affected disease sites is the gastrointestinal system, which originates the gastro-entero-pancreatic NENs (GEP-NENs), a heterogenous group of malignancies that are rapidly increasing in incidence. These tumors can be functioning, with secretory activity leading to identifiable clinical syndromes, or non-functioning, with no secretory activity but with local symptoms of tumor growth and metastasis. A limitation in biomarkers is a crucial unmet need in non-secretory NEN management, as clinical decision-making is made more difficult by obstacles in tumor classification, prognostic evaluation, assessment of treatment response and surveillance. The objective of this review is to present existing and novel biomarkers for NENs that can function as prognostic factors and monitor disease progression or regression longitudinally, with a special emphasis on innovative research into novel multianalyte biomarkers.

Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and other neurodegenerative diseases are typified by a robust microglial-mediated immune response. Genetic studies have demonstrated that variants in microglial genes are linked to risk for AD. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) originally identified Phospholipase C gamma 2 (PLCγ2) as a novel risk gene of Alzheimer's disease (AD).

Article Synopsis
- Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is challenging to detect early, as current biomarkers like carbohydrate antigen 19-9 are not sufficient for reliable diagnosis.
- A study analyzed serum samples from 88 subjects, including PDAC patients and controls, using advanced multi-omics methods to identify molecular changes associated with PDAC.
- The research found 505 altered proteins, 186 metabolites, and 33 lipids; notably, it developed a machine learning model resulting in a 38 biomarker signature that could improve early detection of PDAC.

Article Synopsis
- Mycotoxins, which are harmful fungal toxins, can negatively affect pregnant women and their babies, but there's limited information about their exposure in the US, particularly among pregnant women.
- This study analyzed mycotoxin exposure in a group of 50 women during pregnancy by testing samples of their serum and urine at various stages using advanced liquid chromatography techniques.
- Results indicated the presence of several mycotoxins, with notable detection rates for ochratoxin A and deoxynivalenol, showing some women exceeded recommended daily intake levels for these toxins.

Inspired by the mammalian taste and olfactory systems, array-based pattern recognition technology has demonstrated significant potential in discerning subtle differences between highly similar compounds and complex mixtures, owing to their unique parallel detection mechanism based on cross-reactive signals. While optical sensor array has been extensively employed in the field of chemical sensing, they encounter significant challenges in non-specific recognition of multiple analytes at low concentrations, particularly in rife environments with complex interferences. Poly(p-phenylene ethynylene)s (PPEs) offer substantial advantages in detecting multi-analytes at low concentrations, owing to its distinctive optical properties, including the "molecular wire" effect, fluorescence super-amplification and super-quenching.
