Genome-Wide cfDNA Analysis Detects Therapy Response in B-Cell Lymphoma
Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) is the most common, aggressive type of non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Although 50% to 60% of individuals achieve cure with chemoimmunotherapy, outcomes are poor for relapsed/refractory disease. More...10 Nov 2021
Endotoxemia Genetic Profile Reveals an Association with Thromboembolism and Stroke
Microorganisms are part of the human body, and bacteria or their components often end up in the circulation. One such bacterial component is lipopolysaccharide (LPS), which is a toxin. High concentrations of LPS in the blood cause sepsis. Low LPS levels, known as endotoxemia, cause low-grade inflammation. More...09 Nov 2021
New Biomarker Improves Definition of Medulloblastoma Risk
An immunohistochemistry marker has been identified as being able to improve risk stratification of medulloblastoma, the most common form of pediatric brain tumor, using a technique that is within the capabilities of most clinical laboratories. More...08 Nov 2021
