Detection of Circulating Tumor DNA Predicts Colon Cancer Recurrence

A team of American and Australian cancer researchers has demonstrated that circulating fragments of tumor DNA (ctDNA) could serve as a biomarker for identifying patients with high risk of recurrence of colon cancer. More...

Genetic Causes of Bowel Cancer Clarified

Colorectal cancer (CRC) displays a complex pattern of inheritance and it is postulated that much of the missing heritability of CRC is enshrined in high-impact rare alleles, which are mechanistically and clinically important. More...

Plasma Mannose Levels May Indicate Diabetes Risk

Obesity is associated with an increased risk for a wide range of morbidities, including insulin resistance (IR), type 2 diabetes (T2D), non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and cardiovascular disease (CVD). More...

Celiac Disease Triggered by Intestinal Viruses

Digestive problems, severe inflammation of the small intestine and nutritional deficiencies leading to anemia and osteoporosis force patients of the autoimmune condition celiac disease to follow a strict gluten-free diet for life. More...

Image: Researchers have devised a new high-resolution method for studying which genes are active in a tissue. The method can be used on all types of tissue and is valuable to both preclinical research and cancer diagnostics (Photo courtesy of the Karolinska Institutet / the Royal Institute of Technology).

Spatial Transcriptomics Technique Enables Visualization of Gene Expression in Tissues

A team of Swedish researchers has developed a high-resolution method for resolving the transcriptome – the library of active genes and RNAs – in histological samples of patients' tissues. More...

MicroRNAs Predict Disease Progression in Brain Tumors

A new method has been developed of predicting disease progression in glioblastoma patients who have undergone standard treatment and multimodal therapy of glioblastoma (GBM) reveals inter-individual variability in terms of treatment outcome. More...
