Rapid Lateral Flow Assays Detect COVID-19 Variants and Differentiate COVID-19 from Other Respiratory Viral Diseases
A recent publication reported the development of two rapid diagnostic tests - one that detects COVID-19 variants and one that differentiates COVID-19 from other respiratory viral diseases. More...02 Mar 2021
Elevated Plasma Levels of Glial Fibrillary Acidic Protein Indicate Increased Alzheimer’s Risk
A recent study has demonstrated that plasma levels of the protein GFAP (glial fibrillary acidic protein) are elevated in cognitively normal older adults at risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease. More...01 Mar 2021
Pulse-Controlled Amplification Tested for Infectious Disease Diagnostics
Molecular diagnostics has become essential in the identification of many infectious and neglected diseases, and the detection of nucleic acids often serves as the gold standard technique for most infectious agents. More...25 Feb 2021
22-Gene Genomic Classifier Validated in Recurrent Prostate Cancer Patients
When prostate cancer has been detected or has returned following initial treatment with surgery, radiation therapy and/or hormone therapy, it is said to be recurrent or relapsed. Treatment of recurrent prostate cancer depends on what treatment a patient has previously received and the extent of the cancer. More...25 Feb 2021
Plasma or Urine Liquid Biopsy Tests May Guide Colorectal Cancer Treatment
A recent paper suggested that liquid biopsy examination of blood or urine could aid in evaluating the effectiveness of therapy for colorectal cancers that had begun to metastasize beyond the site of the original tumor. More...23 Feb 2021
Proteogenomic and Metabolomic Studies Characterize Human Glioblastoma
Glioblastoma (GBM) is an aggressive type of cancer that can occur in the brain or spinal cord. Glioblastoma forms from cells called astrocytes that support nerve cells. Glioblastoma can occur at any age, but tends to occur more often in older adults. It can cause worsening headaches, nausea, vomiting and seizures. More...23 Feb 2021
Study Confirms Value of the MyProstateScore Urine Test for Prostate Cancer Screening
A recent paper confirmed that the MyProstateScore test could be used with confidence to detect clinically significant (grade group higher than 2) prostate cancers when compared to commonly used prostate specific antigen-based diagnostic screening. More...22 Feb 2021
