Mutation Found Determines Nature of Host Response to MRSA Infection
A recent paper described the genetic factors that determine why some individuals develop chronic methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infections while others develop infections that resolve relatively quickly. More...22 Sep 2019

Distinctive mRNA Signatures May Prove Diagnostic for Cancer-Related AIS
A recently published paper described a distinctive molecular signature present in blood mRNA expression profiles of patients with cancer-related acute ischemic stroke (AIS) that could potentially lead to earlier diagnosis of cancer in these patients. More...22 Sep 2019

Automated Collection of CTCs Improves Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
A recent paper described the benefits of circulating tumor cell (CTC) analysis for improving the diagnosis of aggressive prostate cancer beyond currently used PSA (prostate specific antigen) measurement, biopsy and/or MRI imagery. More...16 Sep 2019

Liquid Biopsy More Effective for Analyzing Tumor Drug Resistance Mutations
Results published in a recent paper suggested that liquid biopsy – specifically analysis of cell-free tumor DNA (ctDNA) – may capture the genetic diversity of acquired drug resistance better than classical surgical biopsy of the tumor. More...16 Sep 2019

New Liquid Biopsy Assay Reveals Host-Pathogen Interactions
A sensitive new assay employs high-throughput DNA sequencing to identify a large range of viral and bacterial pathogens in clinical samples, distinguish them from host DNA, and determine the degree of host tissue injury due to interaction with the pathogens. More...09 Sep 2019
