Immune Response Differentiates Malaria from Other Infections

Malaria affects around 200 million people around the world but its non-specific symptoms, coupled with a lack of access to testing facilities, mean it is difficult to distinguish from other infectious diseases. More...

POC Test Advances Hepatitis C Diagnosis

A new test that enables diagnosis of hepatitis C infection in a single visit could improve access to early diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment service for some of the most vulnerable people in Australia and the world. More...

Genes Should Be Screened for Stem Cell Transplants

Regenerative medicine using human pluripotent stem cells (hPS cells) to grow transplantable tissue outside the body carries the promise to treat a range of intractable disorders, such as diabetes and Parkinson's disease. These hPS cells can self-renew indefinitely, making them an attractive source for regenerative therapies. More...

Genetics Are Key to Lowering Bone Fracture Risk

A study has found that postmenopausal women who are more genetically prone to fractures benefit most from hormone therapy (HT). The results therefore have implications that could advance personalized medicine for postmenopausal women. More...

Novel Fluorescent Technique Detects Early Stage Glaucoma

A team of British glaucoma researchers used a novel fluorescent microscopy technique to rapidly diagnose the disease at a very early stage. More...

Low Levels of 1-Asparaginase Predict Cancer Recurrence

Loss of expression of the enzyme ASRGL1 (l-asparaginase) was shown to be an independent biomarker for disease-specific survival in uterine cancer (endometrioid endometrial carcinoma). More...

Multigene Test Extends Life Expectancy for Cancer Patients

Testing for variants in seven cancer-associated genes, versus the usual process of testing in just two genes, followed by risk-reduction management could cost-effectively improve life expectancy for women at risk of hereditary breast cancer. More...
