Tools to Investigate the Microbiome-Gut-Brain Axis in IBS

A 3D rendering of the communication processes of the microbiome-gut-brain axis in IBS.

Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) characterized by abdominal pain, altered bowel habits, affects 10-15% of adults in the United States (American College of Gastroenterology, 2025). The gut microbiome plays a crucial role in IBS, influencing both the onset of the condition and the exacerbation of symptoms. Research highlights the significant impact of the microbiome on the […]

Myeloperoxidase: A Key Marker of Cardiovascular Health

An AI rendering of the human skeletal system and heart beating.

Myeloperoxidase (MPO) is an essential enzyme with significant implications for cardiovascular health. Found in immune cells like neutrophils and monocytes, MPO plays a crucial role in the body’s immune response by producing reactive oxygen species (ROS) to combat pathogens. However, elevated levels of MPO have been linked to inflammation and oxidative stress, which are key […]

C-reactive Protein: A Key Indicator of Cardiovascular Health

An AI illustration of the human heart with inflammation.

Research shows that C-reactive protein (CRP) is an essential biomarker for understanding inflammation and its role in cardiovascular conditions.1 Produced by the liver in response to inflammation, CRP is one of several acute-phase reactants that increase rapidly when tissue injury or systemic inflammation occurs. For laboratories, offering CRP testing in research applications can provide critical […]
