Liquid Biopsy Biomarkers for Aggressive Prostate Cancer Discovered

Using targeted proteomics on noninvasive liquid biopsies, researchers have discovered biomarkers that provide signatures of aggressive (extracapsular) prostate cancer (PC), which could enable diagnosis before treatment and so help many low-risk PC patients avoid surgery. More...

Multiplex Molecular Test Developed for Three Arboviruses

Clinical manifestations of Zika virus, chikungunya virus and dengue virus infections can be similar. To improve virus detection, streamline molecular workflow, and decrease test costs, a multiplex real-time reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (rt-PCR) for these viruses has been developed and evaluated. More...

Urinary Round Cells Predict Need For Hemodialysis

Urinalysis is a safe, easy, and cost-effective diagnostic tool, and sediments are indicative of nephron condition, therefore, it can be considered as a virtual renal biopsy and is useful for the differential diagnosis of acute kidney injury and chronic kidney disease. More...
