Yeast-Based Tool Developed for Pathogen Detection

The monitoring of global pathogen burden has been traditionally limited to a small number of specialized centers, but more effective detection could be performed in real time by making accurate diagnostics accessible at the point of care. More...

Image: A new study shows that so-called “liquid biopsies” - blood tests that detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) - may not only sound an early alert that a treatment’s effect is diminishing, but may also help explain why and sometimes offer clues about what to do next (Photo courtesy of Massachusetts General Hospital).

Liquid Biopsy Blood Tests Detect CtDNA

The so-called “liquid biopsies” blood tests that detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), may not only sound an early alert that a treatment’s effect is diminishing, but may also help explain why, and sometimes offering clues about what to do next. More...

Opioid-Related Deaths Possibly Prevented By Gene Testing

More than 17,500 Americans died in 2015 from prescription opioid overdoses, which are more than quadruple the amount of people who died from this cause in 1999, but it is not just abuse of these medications that can lead to overdoses. More...
