Metabolomics and Gene Expression Analysis Reveal Down-regulation of the Citric Acid (TCA) Cycle in Non-diabetic CKD Patients
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health problem with very high prevalence and mortality. Yet, there is a paucity of effective treatment options, partly due to insufficient knowledge of underlying pathophysiology. ... -
Metabolomics identifies placental dysfunction and confirms Flt-1 (FMS-like tyrosine kinase receptor 1) biomarker specificity
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Clinical end-stage parameters define the pregnancy disorders preeclampsia and fetal growth restriction while classification of the underlying placental dysfunction is missing and urgently needed. Flt-1 (FMS-like tyrosine ... -
Metachronous Contralateral Testicular Cancer in the Cisplatin Era: A Population-Based Cohort Study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2020)PURPOSE It is hypothesized that cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) reduces the occurrence of metachronous contralateral (second) germ cell testicular cancer (TC). However, studies including treatment details are lacking. ... -

Metastatic Cancerous Intestinal Epithelial Cells express Toll-like receptor 3 and release RANTES/CCL5 and IP-10/CXCL10 in response to Double-stranded RNA
(Master thesis, 2011)Toll-like receptors (TLR)s are important for mounting an inflammatory response against invading microorganisms by recognizing pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMP)s, which are rare or absent in vertebrates. TLRs ... -
Metformin exposure, maternal PCOS status and fetal venous liver circulation: A randomized, placebo-controlled study
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)Background Metformin is prescribed to women with polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) to prevent pregnancy complications. Children exposed to metformin vs. placebo in utero, have increased head circumference at birth and are ... -
