P-NGAL DAY 1 PREDICTS EARLY BUT NOT ONE YEAR GRAFT FUNCTION FOLLOWING DECEASED DONOR KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION - THE CONTEXT STUDY.

P-NGAL Day 1 predicts early but not one year graft function following deceased donor kidney transplantation - The CONTEXT study.

BackgroundEarly markers to predict delayed kidney graft function (DGF) may support clinical management.We studied the ability of four biomarkers (neutrophil gelatinase associated lipocalin (NGAL), liver-type fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP), cystatin C, and YKL-40) to predict DGF after deceased donor transplantation, and their association with e

Oligosaccharide substrate preferences of human extracellular sulfatase Sulf2 using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry based glycomics approaches.

Sulfs are extracellular endosulfatases that selectively remove the 6-O-sulfate groups from cell surface heparan sulfate (HS) chain.By altering the sulfation at these particular sites, Sulfs function to remodel HS chains.As a result of the remodeling activity, HSulf2 regulates a multitude of cell-signaling events that depend on interactions between

A new critical methodology of cosmopoliticization

A critical methodology of cosmopoliticization describes a new theoretically guided approach of empirical analysis to capture phenomena and quality of cosmopoliticization.The study and interpretation of cosmopoliticization and cosmopolitanism needs a critical pivot that draws on empirical issues and social facts to some extent to advance the theoriz
