A major limitation to the discovery of new therapeutics and unique biomarkers of disease is the ability to identify, purify, and characterize valuable trace proteins in the presence of highly abundant ...

What workup is warranted following a report of “trace” protein in the urine of an apparently healthy individual? —Stephen Parker, DO, Roselle Park, N.J. The discovery of “trace” proteinuria in healthy ...

Washington, DC - Proteinuria, assessed by casual urine dipstick testing, and estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) are associated with the long-term risk of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), ...

Incorporating β2-microglobulin and β-trace protein filtration markers may improve GFR estimation in patients with solid tumors. Adding the novel endogenous filtration markers β2-microglobulin and ...

PCA3: What Is Its Role in Prostate Cancer Screening? Investigators reported findings from a case-control study of 438 recipients of living-donor kidneys. Small amounts of protein in urine may be the ...

In her monthly Medscape Viewpoint, Lynda Szczech wrote, "Among the entire cohort, the likelihood of developing rapid kidney function decline (RKFD) was 3.2 times greater among those with albuminuria ...

In recent years, proteomics research using mass spectrometry to comprehensively investigate the protein components of biological samples has become very popular. In order to detect proteins by mass ...

Researchers at the University of Basel's Biozentrum have developed a method for tracing the movement of proteins within the cell. They tagged proteins with tiny nanosensors, so-called nanobodies, ...
