Environmental exposure to pesticides: biomarkers in non–invasively collected matrices in prenatal development and childhood
The collection of invasive samples from susceptible populations may suffer from ethical and practical limitations that restrict the routine application of human biomonitoring. Moreover, the accumulation of exposure data will be unsuccessful in risk assessment if not integrated through the appropriate sets of biomarkers for early biological responses. This paper reviews the usefulness and ...

A Detailed Introduction to Exosome Proteomics
What are exosomes? Exosomes, a tiny membrane vesicle with a lipid bilayer structure, are secreted by most cells and are approximately 40-200 nm in diameter. exosomes are found in body fluids, including blood, saliva, urine and breast milk. exosomes of different tissue origins differ in content composition and function, and this difference is dynamically regulated by the extracellular matrix and ...

Salivary Protein Glycosylation as a Noninvasive Biomarker for Assessment of Glycemia
Abstract Background: Assessment of short-term glycemic control can facilitate monitoring of diabetes development in at-risk individuals and monitoring response to lifestyle modification or medication. We evaluated salivary protein glycosylation levels as a novel, noninvasive, short-term glycemic index in comparison to hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fructosamine, 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1,5-AG), and ...

Ebola Outbreak In The Democratic Republic of Congo
The fears of health officials in the Democratic Republic of Congo were confirmed recently, when test results indicated that an Ebola outbreak had been identified amongst the population once again. Unfortunately, this marks the third time the DR Congo has experienced an Ebola outbreak since the devastating virus struck West Africa between 2014 and 2016, killing over 11,000 people. But, despite ...

World Immunization Week: Taming Latent Viruses for Longer Lives
The World Health Organization created World Immunization Week to highlight global collective action and promote the use of vaccines that keep all of us protected against disease. This year, the theme is “Long Life for All: In pursuit of a long life well lived.” The COVID-19 pandemic demonstrated the criticality of mRNA vaccines as a tool for quickly and effectively battling ...

Biorepository Safety
What is a Biorepository? A biorepository, or "biobank", is a specialized facility designed to store, archive, and distribute biological samples for research or clinical purposes. Biorepositories house biological samples, such as blood, plasma, urine, saliva, tissues, DNA, and organs, among other specimen types, collected from consenting individuals. Critical associated information, including ...
