Molecular biomarkers of diffuse axonal injury: recent advances and future perspectives
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2024 Jan 5:1-9. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2024.2303319. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Diffuse axonal injury (DAI), with high mortality and morbidity both in children and adults, is one of the most severe pathological consequences of traumatic brain injury. Currently, clinical diagnosis, disease assessment, disability identification, and postmortem diagnosis of DAI is mainly limited by the absent of specific molecular biomarkers.AREAS COVERED: In this review, we first introduce the pathophysiology of DAI, summarized the reported biomarkers in previous animal and human studies, and then the mo...

We have reached single-visit testing, diagnosis, and treatment for hepatitis C infection, now what?
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2024 Jan 4:1-15. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2023.2292645. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Progress toward hepatitis C virus (HCV) elimination is impeded by low testing and treatment due to the current diagnostic pathway requiring multiple visits leading to loss to follow-up. Point-of-care testing technologies capable of detecting current HCV infection in one hour are a 'game-changer.' These tests enable diagnosis and treatment in a single visit, overcoming the barrier of multiple visits that frequently leads to loss to follow-up. Combining point-of-care HCV antibody and RNA tests should improve...

Molecular and epigenetic mechanisms governing ocular surface squamous neoplasia: opportunities for diagnostics
Expert Rev Mol Diagn. 2023 Dec 22:1-15. doi: 10.1080/14737159.2023.2298681. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTINTRODUCTION: Ocular surface squamous neoplasia (OSSN) is the most common ocular malignancy; the pathophysiology is influenced by molecular, genetic, and epigenetic mechanisms. The incidence of OSSN is associated with the anatomy and physiology of the ocular surface, limbal stem cell configuration, limbal vulnerability, cancer stem cells, dysplasia, neoplasia, angiogenesis, invasion, and metastasis. The key etiological factors involved are human papillomavirus (HPV), human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), immunosuppressio...
