Analysis of Circulating DNA Predicts Prostate Cancer's Development of Drug Resistance
Analysis of prostate cancer DNA circulating in the bloodstream identifies a mutation that indicates whether the tumor will become resistant to the drug-of-choice abiraterone, and enables the physician to choose an alternative treatment. More...15 Nov 2015
Molecular Technology Identifies Viral RNA Mutations in Clinical Samples
Droplet Digital polymerase chain reaction uses emulsion chemistry to partition nucleic acid samples into approximately 20,000 oil-encapsulated nanodroplets to produce data that surpasses the precision of other molecular methods with equivalent or much higher sensitivity. More...09 Nov 2015
Four Susceptibility Loci Identified for Testicular Germ Cell Tumor
Testicular germ cell tumor is the most common cancer in men aged 15 to 45 years, with over 18,000 new cases diagnosed annually in Europe and the incidence of TGCT has approximately doubled over the last four decades in Western Europe, which implicates environmental or lifestyle factors as risk determinants.

Ebolavirus Found in Semen Months After Symptom Onset
The main mode of transmission is direct contact with the blood or body fluids of a person with Ebolavirus disease or from the body of a person who died from the disease; however, Ebolavirus can persist in the body fluids of survivors during convalescence, which may result in transmission of the virus.
