The aim of the present study is to identify microRNAs (miRs) with high potential to be used
as biomarkers in plasma and/or serum to clinically diagnose, or provide accurate prognosis …

There is a global diabetes epidemic correlating with an increase in obesity. This coincidence
may lead to a rise in the prevalence of type 2 diabetes. There is also an as yet unexplained …

Rationale: Cardiovascular disease represents a global pandemic. The advent of and recent
advances in mouse genomics, epigenomics, and transgenics offer ever-greater potential for …

Micro RNA s (mi RNA s) have emerged as important regulators in the post‐transcriptional
control of gene expression. The discovery of their presence not only in tissues but also in …

Invasive fungal infections constitute a serious threat to an ever-growing population of
immunocompromised individuals and other individuals at risk. Traditional diagnostic …

Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) isolated from blood has been identified as a potential
biomarker in numerous fields, and has been the object of intensive research over the past …

Background Nucleic acid amplification is the most sensitive and specific method to detect
Plasmodium falciparum. However the polymerase chain reaction remains laboratory-based …

In the last years, circulating miRNAs have emerged as a new class of promising cancer
biomarkers. Independent studies have shown the feasibility of using these small RNAs as …

Invasive aspergillosis occurs in a wide range of clinical scenarios, is protean in its
manifestations, and is still associated with an unacceptably high mortality rate. Early …

Biomarkers are essential tools in clinical research and practice. Useful biomarkers must
