Whole Genome Sequences Discriminate Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia Phenotypes
The abnormal vascular structures of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) often cause severe anemia due to recurrent hemorrhage, but HHT causal genes do not predict the severity of hematological complications. More...26 Jul 2022


Diseases Diagnosed by Isolating Biomarkers in Tears
Current clinical studies pose significant challenges in distinguishing disease subtypes with accurate molecular signatures and tracking the disease progression in a non-invasive way. Identifying molecular clues in samples from patients, such as specific proteins or genes from vesicular structures called exosomes, could improve the accuracy of diagnoses. More...25 Jul 2022
