Forensic Context

A study in humans demonstrated that the SERPINA4 is a plasma protein discriminant of disease severity in alcohol-associated hepatitis, exhibiting large abundance shifts between severe and nonsevere disease states and correlating with clinical severity scores [Argemi et al. DOI:10.1016/J.Ajpath.2022.08.009].
