Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects not only kidney function but also bone metabolism, creating a complex network of hormonal and mineral imbalances. These changes can lead to chronic kidney disease–mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD), a condition associated with bone abnormalities, vascular calcification and increased cardiovascular risk.

At Oxford BioSystems we’ve observed that biomedical research increasingly relies on analysing multiple biomarkers at once. Whether studying immune responses, nutritional status, or complex disease pathways, running multiple single-analyte ELISAs can quickly become costly, time-consuming and sample-intensive.

Children and adolescents living with type 1 diabetes (T1D) frequently experience challenges related to bone health. Studies indicate that young people with T1D often have reduced bone mineral density, alongside changes in bone microarchitecture and lower rates of bone turnover when compared with healthy peers.

Biomedical Scientist recently published ‘A preventative approach for Alzheimer’s’, which explores the first study evaluating the impact of obesity on Alzheimer’s blood biomarkers.

The official flower for a 25th anniversary is the iris, and it is also recognized as the birth flower for the month of February. Irises represent wisdom, hope, and trust.

The interleukin-2 receptor (IL-2R), also known as CD25, is a transmembrane protein, which is up-regulated on activated T-cells, and shed into serum as soluble IL-2R...

As laboratories strive to produce faster, more consistent and publication-quality immunoassay data, the need for advanced imaging technology has never been greater.

Why is a rapid G6PD test of interest? Glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD) is a housekeeping enzyme that plays a vital role in the prevention of cellular damage...
