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...
INTRODUCTION: The mortality rate among older people infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 is alarmingly high. This study aimed to explore the predictive value of a novel model for assessing the risk of death in this vulnerable...
BACKGROUND: Intervertebral disc degeneration (IDD) is widely regarded as the primary contributor to low back pain(LBP). As an immune-privileged organ, upon the onset of IDD, various components of the nucleus pulposus (NP) are exposed to the host's im...
Monocytes are pivotal immune cells in eliciting specific immune responses and can exert a significant impact on the progression, prognosis, and immunotherapy of intracranial aneurysms (IAs). The objective of this study was to identify monocyte/macrop...
Osteoporosis, in which bones become fragile owing to low bone density and impaired bone mass, is a global public health concern. Bone mineral density (BMD) has been extensively evaluated for the diagnosis of low bone mass and osteoporosis. Circulatin...
BACKGROUND: Increased oxidative stress (OS) activity following intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) had significantly impacting patient prognosis. Identifying optimal genes associated with OS could enhance the understanding of OS after ICH.
Accurate identification and classification of bone marrow (BM) nucleated cell morphology are crucial for the diagnosis of hematological diseases. However, the subjective and time-consuming nature of manual identification by pathologists hinders promp...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Visual analysis of cell morphology has an important role in the diagnosis of hematological diseases. Morphological cell recognition is a challenge that requires experience and in-depth review by clinical pathologists. Withi...
Treatment of blood smears with Wright's stain is one of the most helpful tools in detecting white blood cell abnormalities. However, to diagnose leukocyte disorders, a clinical pathologist must perform a tedious, manual process of locating and identi...
Cis-Regulatory elements (cis-REs) include promoters, enhancers, and insulators that regulate gene expression programs via binding of transcription factors. ATAC-seq technology effectively identifies active cis-REs in a given cell type (including from...
