Molecular Test Accurately Classifies Pancreatic Cysts as Potentially Cancerous or Benign
A molecular test can accurately classify pancreatic cysts as potentially cancerous or benign, marking a critical step toward a precision medicine approach to detecting and treating pancreatic cancer, which has one of the lowest survival rates of all cancers. More...06 Oct 2022

New Insights into Molecular Interactions Pave Way for Rapid AKI Diagnostic Tests
A research team has used single-cell sequencing techniques to uncover the molecular processes associated with acute kidney injury (AKI). The team has discovered novel gene expression patterns of injured kidney cells that may lead to new therapeutic approaches and strategies for biomarker discovery. More...06 Oct 2022


Troponin Testing Could Improve Timing of Heart Surgery and Survival Rate
A new study has found that some patients who have lower levels of troponin would benefit from having earlier surgery, although patients with very high troponin levels should have surgery postponed, as their risk of dying was higher if surgery was performed within 10 days of their heart attack.
