Blood Test Developed to Catch Pancreatic Cancer Early
Pancreatic cancer is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related death in the USA and has a five-year survival rate of only 6%, which is the lowest rate of all types of cancer and this low survival rate is partially attributed to the difficulty in detecting pancreatic cancer at an early stage.

Mutated Group B Streptococcus Causes Neonatal Sepsis
Streptococcus agalactiae or group B Streptococcus is a commensal of the human gut and genitourinary tract, and a leading cause of neonatal infections, in which vertical transmission from mother to child remains the most frequent route of contamination. More...01 Sep 2015
Gene Sequencing Reference Standard Increases Accuracy for Medical Laboratories
To reduce the variability in genetic test results that has been observed across different clinical laboratories and pathology groups, a new standard DNA reference has been introduced, which will improve transparency in the quality and accuracy of genetic test results produced by medical laboratories.
