New Biomarker Discovered for Cancer Stem Cells
Tumors often contain a small subset of drug-resisting, self-renewing, and highly metastatic cells called tumor initiating cells or cancer stem cells (CSCs). These cells can self-renew, divide asymmetrically, and form tumors in isolation. More...28 Nov 2019
Uremic Toxins Level Measured in Parkinson’s Disease Patients
Uremic-retention solutes are the compounds whose concentration in an organism increases with decreasing kidney function. At uremic concentrations, they play a crucial role in the progression of chronic kidney diseases (CKD) and have negative outcomes. More...27 Nov 2019
Next Generation Glycated Hemoglobin Assay Evaluated
Diabetes mellitus is a pathological condition that affects all age groups worldwide. The percentage of glycated hemoglobin A1C (HbA1C) reflects the mean plasma glucose level over the previous 3 to 4 months for most individuals and can be used to diagnose type 2 diabetes. More...26 Nov 2019
Effect of Lipoprotein(A) on the Diagnosis of Familial Hypercholesterolemia
The recent focus on familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) as a high-risk condition predisposing to premature coronary artery disease (CAD) has led to more widespread screening and diagnosis of the condition. Familial hypercholesterolemia is a genetic disorder. More...25 Nov 2019
Chemical Analysis of Blood Samples Diagnoses Brain Tumors
Brain tumors tend to have ambiguous symptoms, such as headache or memory problems, and a brain scan is currently the only reliable way of diagnosing them. In recent years, the use of infrared (IR) spectroscopy to analyze disease state in biofluids has been largely employed with promising results. More...21 Nov 2019
Novel Nanosensing Technologies Developed for Exosome Detection and Profiling
Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most eukaryotic cells. Liquid biopsy technologies have been developed to do high-throughput exosome protein profiling and point-of-care (POC) exosome analysis. More...20 Nov 2019
Routine Blood Parameters Predict Invasive Aspergillosis Prognosis
Aspergillosis occurs in chronic or acute forms which are clinically very distinct. Most cases of acute aspergillosis occur in patients with severely compromised immune systems, e.g. those undergoing bone marrow transplantation. Symptoms include fever, chills, shock, delirium, seizures, and blood clots. More...19 Nov 2019
