Development of a high-pH reversed-phase well plate for peptide fractionation and deep proteome analysis of cells and exosomes
The complexity of the proteome often limits the number of identified proteins in the nanoflow LC-MS (nanoLC-MS) analysis of samples. Therefore, peptide fractionation is essential for reducing the sample comple...

Open AccessPleural cytokines MIF and MIP-3α as novel biomarkers for complicated parapneumonic effusions and empyema
Patients with complicated parapneumonic effusion (CPPE)/empyema have high morbidity and mortality, particularly when adequate management is delayed. We aimed to investigate novel dysregulated cytokines that ca...

Open AccessCombined serum biomarkers in the noninvasive diagnosis of complicated parapneumonic effusions and empyema
We previously demonstrated that the pleural levels of proteins (neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin/NGAL, calprotectin, bactericidal permeability-increasing/BPI, azurocidin 1/AZU-1) were valuable marker...

Open AccessStout camphor tree genome fills gaps in understanding of flowering plant genome evolution
We present reference-quality genome assembly and annotation for the stout camphor tree (Cinnamomum kanehirae (Laurales, Lauraceae)), the first sequenced member of the Magnoliidae comprising four orders (Laurales,...

Open AccessProteome profiling reveals novel biomarkers to identify complicated parapneumonic effusions
Patients with pneumonia and parapneumonic effusion (PPE) have elevated mortality and a poor prognosis. The aim of this study was to discover novel biomarkers to help distinguish between uncomplicated PPE (UPPE...
