Considerations towards a roadmap for collection, handling and storage of blood extracellular vesicles.
(2019)There is an increasing interest in exploring clinically relevant information that is present in body fluids, and extracellular vesicles (EVs) are intrinsic components of body fluids (“liquid biopsies”). In this report, we ... -
The future of Extracellular Vesicles as Theranostics - an ISEV meeting report
(2020)The utilization of extracellular vesicles (EVs) in clinical theranostics has rapidly advanced in the past decade. In November 2018, the International Society for Extracellular Vesicles (ISEV) held a workshop on “EVs in ... -
Improved detection of biomarkers in cervico-vaginal mucus (CVM) from postpartum cattle
(2018)Background: In the postpartum cow, early diagnosis of uterine disease is currently problematic due to the lack of reliable, non-invasive diagnostic methods. Cervico-vaginal mucus (CVM) is an easy to collect potentially ... -
In-depth Analytical Platforms Facilitating Serum Glycome, Proteome and Glycoproteome Investigation for Biomarker Discovery
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Biochemistry & Immunology. Discipline of Biochemistry, 2018)Human serum is a great source of potential protein disease biomarkers because of how blood interacts with all parts of the body, allowing it to contain proteins secreted from specific tissues of interest, and due the ... -
Integrative multi-omic analytics for the early detection of pancreatic cancer
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Surgery, 2023)Pancreatic cancer (PC) has the lowest 5-year survival rate of any cancer, at just 12% in 2023. The poor survival rates observed in this cancer are the result of an accumulation of shortcomings and gaps in many aspects of ... -
Lessons of ALS imaging: Pitfalls and future directions - A critical review
(2014)Background: While neuroimaging in ALS has gained unprecedented momentum in recent years, little progress has been made in the development of viable diagnostic, prognostic and monitoring markers. Objectives: To identify ... -
MicroRNA-17 is downregulated in esophageal adenocarcinoma cancer stem-like cells and promotes a radioresistant phenotype
(2017)Resistance to neoadjuvant chemoradiation therapy (CRT) remains a critical barrier to the effective treatment of esophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC). Cancer stem-like cells (CSCs) are a distinct subpopulation of cells implicated ... -
Neurophysiological markers of network dysfunction in neurodegenerative diseases
(Elsevier, 2019)There is strong clinical, imaging and pathological evidence that neurodegeneration is associated with altered brain connectivity. While functional imaging (fMRI) can detect resting and activated states of metabolic activity, ... -
Personalised Medicine in ANCA-Associated Vasculitis: The Role of Urine Soluble CD163
(Trinity College Dublin. School of Medicine. Discipline of Clinical Medicine, 2021)In this thesis I have identified a highly sensitive and specific association between urinary sCD163 and active renal vasculitis in the clinical setting of renal vasculitis flare in both retrospective and prospective studies. ... -
Post-polio Syndrome: More Than Just a Lower Motor Neuron Disease
(2019)Post-polio syndrome (PPS) is a neurological condition that affects polio survivors decades after their initial infection. Despite its high prevalence, the etiology of PPS remains elusive, mechanisms of progression are ... -
Resistance to HER2-targeted anti-cancer drugs is associated with immune evasion in cancer cells and their derived extracellular vesicles
(2017)Neuromedin U (NmU) -a neuropeptide belonging to the neuromedin family– plays a substantial role in HER2-positive breast cancer, correlating with increased aggressiveness, resistance to HER2-targeted therapies and overall ... -
Survival prediction in Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis based on MRI measures and clinical characteristics
(2017)Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) a highly heterogeneous neurodegenerative condition. Accurate diagnostic, monitoring and prognostic biomarkers are urgently needed both for individualised patient care and ...
