Pre-Op Test Can Detect Some Pancreatic Cancers

A newly developed genetic test was highly sensitive at determining which pancreatic cysts are most likely to be associated with one of the most aggressive types of pancreatic cancer. The successful results are a critical step toward a precision medicine approach to detecting and treating pancreatic cancer. More...

Blood Test Predicts Patient Response to Immunotherapy

In a first-of-its-kind study in the field, researchers found that testing blood-based liquid biopsy samples for genomic mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) could help reveal which patients would likely respond to checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapies (CIIs). More...

Paper-based Immunoassay Distinguishes Zika and Dengue Infections

A rapid, easy-to-use immunoassay identifies individuals with Zika virus infection with no false positive results due to dengue virus or other flaviviruses. More...

Another Key Gene Discovered for Alzheimer’s Disease

The consensus among scientists has been that the Apolipoprotein E (ApoE4) gene is the main marker of Alzheimer's disease and many other dementias, but a new study has added another key player into the mix. More...

Genetic Test Discovered for Predicting Cancer Recurrence

Treatment failure, due to drug resistance, still remains a major obstacle for more effective anti-cancer therapy and personalized medicine. In estrogen-receptor-positive (ER (+)) breast cancer, approximately 40% to 50% of patients eventually develop tamoxifen-resistance. More...

New Markers Revealed for Severe Multiple Sclerosis

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic condition that affects an estimated 2.3 million people worldwide. In MS, the sheath covering nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord becomes damaged, slowing or blocking electrical signals from the brain reaching the eyes, muscles, and other parts of the body. More...

Rapid Alternative to Standard Safety Tests Introduced

Lentiviruses are a type of retrovirus commonly used by scientists to introduce new genes into therapeutic chimeric antigen receptor T cells (CAR-T cells), which are introduced back into patients to fight cancer. More...
