Highly Multiplexed Broad Pathogen Assay Detects Infectious Diseases
Identifying the causative agent in an acute febrile illness can be challenging diagnostically, especially when organisms in a particular region have overlapping clinical presentation or when that pathogen’s presence is unexpected. More...29 Nov 2018
Acute Myeloid Leukemia Regulatory Networks Identified
Adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (a type of white blood cell), red blood cells, or platelets. AML is a heterogeneous disease caused by a variety of alterations in transcription factors, epigenetic regulators and signaling molecules. More...28 Nov 2018
Pregnancy-Related Immune Changes Revealed by Placenta Sequencing
A team of scientists has used single-cell RNA sequencing to map expression profiles in the placenta, focusing on the decidua tissue that forms from the lining of the uterus and placental trophoblast tissue from the fetus that interacts with maternal cells. More...28 Nov 2018
Sensitive Tumor Detection Uses Cell-Free DNA Methylomes
A combination of "liquid biopsy," epigenetic alterations and machine learning has been used to develop a blood test to detect and classify cancer at its earliest stages. The method holds promise of being able to find cancer earlier when it is more easily treated and long before symptoms ever appear. More...27 Nov 2018
Biomarker Found for Prostate Cancer Treatment Response
Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in males and has one of the highest five-year survival rate when diagnosed in the localized stage. When diagnosed in the advanced stage or when a localized tumor relapses after the initial local treatment, the usual procedure is to fight it using male hormone (androgen) deprivation therapy. More...27 Nov 2018
