the myocardial extracellular matrix has been historically difficult to diagnose due
to lack of specific clinical manifestations ...
The Multifunctional Protein BAG3: A Novel Therapeutic Target in Cardiovascular Disease
(2018-02-26)
The B-cell lymphoma 2–associated anthanogene (BAG3) protein is expressed most prominently in the heart, the skeletal muscle, and in many forms of cancer. In the heart, it serves as a co-chaperone with heat shock proteins ...
Concurrent validity of skin carotenoid status as a concentration biomarker of vegetable and fruit intake compared to multiple 24-h recalls and plasma carotenoid concentrations across one year: a cohort study
(2019-10-30)
Background
Biological markers of vegetable and fruit (VF) intake are needed both for nutrition surveillance and for the evaluation of nutrition interventions. Optically assessed skin carotenoid status (SCS) has been ...
