Identification and genetic characterization of Saprolegnia parasitica, isolated from farmed and wild fish in Finland
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Oomycete infections in farmed fish are one of the most significant disease issues in salmonid aquaculture worldwide. In the present study, Saprolegnia spp. in different farmed fish species in Finland were identified, and ... -
Identification and quantification of valuable platform chemicals in aqueous product streams from a preliminary study of a large pilot-scale steam explosion of woody biomass using quantitative nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Steam explosion breaks down the polymeric matrix and enables the recovery of valuable compounds from lignocellulosic feedstock. In the steam explosion process, biomass is treated with high-pressure steam which subsequently ... -
Identification of a Blood-Based Protein Biomarker Panel for Lung Cancer Detection
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Lung cancer is the deadliest cancer worldwide, mainly due to its advanced stage at the time of diagnosis. A non-invasive method for its early detection remains mandatory to improve patients’ survival. Plasma levels of 351 ... -
Identification of a core EMT signature that separates basal-like breast cancers into partial- and post-EMT subtypes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) is a cellular plasticity program critical for embryonic development and tissue regeneration, and aberrant EMT is associated with disease including cancer. The high degree of plasticity ... -
Identification of a novel polymorphism associated with reduced clozapine concentration in schizophrenia patients—a genome-wide association study adjusting for smoking habits
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Clozapine (CLZ) is the superior antipsychotic drug for treatment of schizophrenia, but exhibits an extensive interpatient pharmacokinetic variability. Here, we conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) of CLZ serum ... -
Identification of a Phage Display-Derived Peptide Interacting with the N-Terminal Region of Factor VII Activating Protease (FSAP) Enables Characterization of Zymogen Activation
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Factor VII Activating protease (FSAP) has a protective effect in diverse disease conditions as inferred from studies in FSAP–/– mice and humans deficient in FSAP activity due to single-nucleotide polymorphism. The zymogen ... -
Identification of biomarkers for glycaemic deterioration in type 2 diabetes
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)We identify biomarkers for disease progression in three type 2 diabetes cohorts encompassing 2,973 individuals across three molecular classes, metabolites, lipids and proteins. Homocitrulline, isoleucine and 2-aminoadipic ... -
Identification of BST2 Contributing to the Development of Glioblastoma Based on Bioinformatics Analysis
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)Rigorous molecular analysis of the immune cell environment and immune response of human tumors has led to immune checkpoint inhibitors as one of the most promising strategies for the treatment of human cancer. However, in ... -
Identification of critical enzymes in the salmon louse chitin synthesis pathway as revealed by RNA interference-mediated abrogation of infectivity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2020)Treatment of infestation by the ectoparasite Lepeophtheirus salmonis relies on a small number of chemotherapeutant treatments that currently meet with limited success. Drugs targeting chitin synthesis have been largely ... -
Identification of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum) MicroRNAs through Deep Sequencing and Their Impact on Plant Secondary Metabolism
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023-04-25)The pharmacological properties of plants lie in the content of secondary metabolites that are classified into different categories based on their biosynthesis, structures, and functions. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are small ... -
Identification of diagnostic and prognostic biomarkers of PD using a multiplex proteomics approach
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2023)Given the complexity of Parkinson's disease (PD), achieving acceptable diagnostic and prognostic accuracy will require the support of a panel of diverse biomarkers. We used Proximity extension assays to measure a panel of ... -
Identification of host biomarkers from dried blood spots for monitoring treatment response in extrapulmonary tuberculosis
