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...10 May 2017
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...08 May 2017
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...04 May 2017
Bordetella Direct Test Receives FDA Clearance
It is estimated that there are approximately 16 million cases of pertussis per year globally, with the disease being responsible for 195,000 deaths annually and reported cases of pertussis, known vernacularly as whooping cough, in the USA have spiked since 1955. More...04 May 2017
