AI can improve disease surveillance in Europe, but human oversight remains essential
Exploratory research shows AI can help synthesise scattered disease outbreak information faster than by manual review — but human oversight remains essential before such tools are used in real-world s...
![🚨 Exciting Research Update! 🚨
We’re thrilled to announce the publication of an important and exciting study in Non-Coding RNA Research where BrigantLab was part ! 🎉
We reveal a strong link between uremic toxin levels and the microRNA miR-223 in chronic kidney disease (CKD)-associated anemia. We demonstrated that the uremic toxin indoxyl sulfate (IS) increases miR-223 expression in both human erythroid cell lines and primary cells. In a cohort of over 500 CKD patients, serum miR-223 levels correlated with IS and other uremic toxins, as well as with markers of endothelial dysfunction and anemia severity. 🧬
Why is this important?
These findings position miR-223 as a promising biomarker for monitoring CKD-related anemia and vascular complications—opening the door to more personalized and non-invasive diagnostic strategies. 💡
A huge congratulations to Laurent Metzinger for spearheading this important work, and to all the incredible co-authors: Emma Brisot, Pierre-Marie Leprêtre, Eya Hamza, PhD, MBA, Ophelie Fourdinier, Hakim Ouled-Haddou, Gabriel Choukroun, Ziad Massy, Francis Verbeke, Valérie Metzinger-Le Meuth, and Griet Glorieux! ✨
