“…Fertilities studies are not often considered to be a fully fledged discipline of biomedical science, but may well be, given the increasing mutual interest [64,65]. Shabani and colleagues reported possible role for a SNP in glial cell-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) (which has an important role in spermatogenesis) in male infertility (OR 95% CI 1.72 [1.14-2.57] p = 0.008), most strongly with asthenospermia (p = 0.001), weakly with azoospermia but not with oligospermia [66]. Like GDNF, bone morphometric proteins (BMPs) are members of the transforming growth factor beta family.…”

In 2019 the British Journal of Biomedical Science published 40 articles in the various disciplines that comprise biomedical science. These were one review, 22 original articles and 17 'In Brief' short reports. Of those citing original data, the majority were in cellular pathology (14 papers), clinical chemistry (9 papers), and microbiology (6 papers: 4 in bacteriology and 2 in virology). There were 3 papers in haematology and 2 in andrology, whilst 5 papers crossed traditional discipline boundaries (such as the molecular genetics of IL6, liver function tests, and hepatocellular carcinoma). Over two-thirds of papers used techniques in molecular genetics. The present report will summarise key aspects of these publications that are of greatest relevance to laboratory scientists.
