Telomere Biomarker Blood Test Predicts Cancer Years In Advance

Telomeres are sequences of DNA on the ends of chromosomes that stop them fraying and losing their integrity, but they gradually shorten as one ages and by the time one grow up they are half the length they were when a person was born, then they halve again as they enter old age.  More...

Simple Assay Determines Lymphoma Subtypes Rapidly

Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma, the most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma, is subdivided into germinal center B-cell-like and activated B-cell-like subtypes, but these lymphomas are difficult to discriminate in routine diagnosis, impeding the development of treatments.   More...

Gene Involved In Hereditary Neuroendocrine Tumors Identified

To date, 11 main genes whose mutations are responsible for pheochromocytomas and paragangliomas have been identified and of these, 6 are involved in cellular metabolism, more specifically, the Krebs cycle, which is the machinery used by cells to burn oxygen and obtain the energy required for cellular work.   More...
