Bacterium Actively Drives CRC Tumor Growth

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. The recognition that microbial agents can contribute to the development of CRC raises hope for improving CRC diagnosis and treatment by incorporating both microbial and patient characteristics into clinical strategies. More...

Specific MicroRNA Identifies Glioblastoma Subtypes

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an extremely aggressive brain cancer, is a very complex disease. It is characterized by a fast-growing tumor in the brain composed of many subpopulations of cells, including glioblastoma stem cells, which play a crucial role in glioblastoma initiation, expansion and therapy-resistance.

MicroRNA Technology Proves Useful for Liver Toxicity Detection

A single probe method has been developed for detecting microRNA from human serum using single molecule arrays, with sequence specificity down to a single base, and without the use of amplification by polymerases. More...

Genomic Variants Contribute to Cognitive Impairment

Genetic alterations of rare deletions or duplications of small DNA segments, called copy number variants (CNVs), have been known to increase risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability. More...

Molecular Testing Evaluated for Thyroid Nodules

Thyroid nodules are a common clinical concern and increasing use of diagnostic imaging likely explains a large part of the increased incidence of thyroid nodules and the subsequent diagnosis of thyroid cancer that has been observed during the last three decades. More...

New Gene Mutation Associated with Fanconi Anemia

Fanconi anemia is a rare genetic disease characterized by bone marrow failure heralded by low platelet counts and unusually large red blood cells. Mutations in over 20 genes have been identified as causative for Fanconi anemia, which encode proteins commonly involved in DNA repair mechanisms. More...

Parkinson’s Disease Patients at Higher Risk for Melanoma

Study finds that people with Parkinson’s disease have a much higher risk of the skin cancer melanoma, and vice versa. Physicians treating patients with one disease should be vigilant for signs of the other in order to achieve early diagnosis and treatment, and patients should be educated about the risk of developing the other illness.
