Research: COL1A1 gene as candidate marker in human heart failure progression

By generating multi-level transcriptomic data from heart failure (HF) patients, COL1A1 was identified as a potential plasma biomarker of HF and associated with HF progression, which could be used to predict 1-year survival from HF onset to organ transplantation.

Research: Mapping proximity to health facilities in regions at risk of VHFs

Geographic blueprints illustrate access to healthcare in at risk areas of viral hemorrhagic fevers (VHFs), such as Ebola. The resulting maps demonstrate gaps in healthcare accessibility and highlight facilities closest to areas at risk for VHF spillover, which could be critical areas for future resource allocation.

Aims and scope

BMC Medicine is the flagship medical journal of the BMC series. An open access, open peer-reviewed general medical journal, BMC Medicine publishes outstanding and influential research in all areas of clinical practice, translational medicine, medical and health advances, public health, global health, policy, and general topics of interest to the biomedical and sociomedical professional communities. We also publish stimulating debates and reviews as well as unique forum articles and concise tutorials.
