Circulating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is emerging as a powerful monitoring tool in cancer, pregnancy
and organ transplantation. Nucleosomal DNA, the predominant form of plasma cfDNA, …

The origin of most bacterial infections in the urinary tract is often presumed to be the gut.
Herein, we investigate the relationship between the gut microbiota and future development of …

Urinary tract infections are one of the most common infections in humans. Here we tested
the utility of urinary cell-free DNA (cfDNA) to comprehensively monitor host and pathogen …

Solid organ transplantation remains the preferred treatment for many end-stage organ diseases,
but complications due to acute rejection and infection occur frequently and undermine …

The magnetic spinel ferrites, MFe 2 O 4 (wherein “M” = a divalent metal ion such as but not
limited to Mn, Co, Zn, and Ni), represent a unique class of magnetic materials in which the …

We describe droplet-assisted RNA targeting by single-cell sequencing (DART-seq), a versatile
technology that enables multiplexed amplicon sequencing and transcriptome profiling in …

High-throughput metagenomic sequencing offers an unbiased approach to identify pathogens
in clinical samples. Conventional metagenomic sequencing, however, does not integrate …

Liquid biopsies based on cell-free DNA (cfDNA) or exosomes provide a noninvasive approach
to monitor human health and disease but have not been utilized for astronauts. Here, we …

Background Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in blood, urine, and other biofluids provides a unique
window into human health. A proportion of cfDNA is derived from bacteria and viruses, creating …

This first book-length study of a northern Cameroon society to be published in English examines
the historical and social factors which have contributed to the slow pace of development …
