Interleukin-6 (IL-6) is a potent glycoprotein that plays a crucial role in regulating innate and adaptive immunity, as well as metabolism. The expression and release of IL-6 are closely correlated with the severity of various diseases. IL-6-inducing ...
Pyrogens cause shock symptoms when released into the bloodstream. They are classified into two main categories: endotoxins (lipopolysaccharides [LPS]) and non-endotoxin pyrogens. The monocyte activation test (MAT) is an in vitro assay to detect pyrog...
BACKGROUND & AIMS: Acute-on-chronic liver failure is a syndrome characterized by organ failure and high short-term mortality. The lack of reliable biomarkers for the early detection of acute-on-chronic liver failure is a significant challenge. Endoth...
Maintaining physical function is crucial for independent living in older adults, with gait speed being a key predictor of health outcomes. Blood biomarkers may potentially monitor older adults' mobility, yet their association with slow gait speed sti...
