This is 1/14 of a thread summarising the major Arlt Lab outputs in this very special year, highlighting the Postdocs and PhD students delivering impactful work in most difficult circumstances - and all our fabulous collaborators around the globe!
And a monumental output - 10 years in the making, the EURINE-ACT study with its results prospectively validating urine steroid metabolomics as the most specific tool for detecting adrenal cancer in adrenal masses - read the results #openaccess here thelancet.com/journals/landi…
And here three special outputs by lab members - and potential future #WomenInScience which their mothers are already: Postdoctoral fellow @LC_Gilligan , @The_MRC CRTF Kathi Lang and my former @MSCActions fellow Kerstin Bunte, now assistant professor @BernoulliInsti2
Wishing all our friends and collaborators a merry Christmas and a great start into a happy and healthy year 2021 (it can only be better than this year) - looking forward to great science, two new PhD students and continued public engagement work led by the inspiring @GalacticZoo
#1 New @IMSR_UoB@UoB_IAHR research: Urine steroid metabolomics for the differential diagnosis of adrenal incidentalomas: a prospective test validation study – learn all about the #EURINEACT study in this twitter thread and read its results #OpenAccessthelancet.com/journals/landi…
#2 Cross-sectional imaging by CT or MRI regularly discovers adrenal masses; 2-12% are eventually diagnosed as adrenal cortical carcinoma #ACC . However, limited specificity of imaging prevents accurate detection of #ACCeje.bioscientifica.com/view/journals/…
#3 Urine Steroid Metabolomics combines steroid profiling by mass spectrometry with data analysis by a machine learning algorithm. This non-invasive, radiation-free biomarker tool can detect a malignant “steroid fingerprint” in the urine of #ACC patients academic.oup.com/jcem/article/9…
