Recurrent Disease Following DCIS Unrelated to Initial Lesions
Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) is the most common form of pre-invasive breast cancer and, despite treatment, a small fraction (5% to 10%) of DCIS patients develop subsequent invasive disease. While DCIS are generally low-grade lesions that do not progress, a small portion of patients do experience recurrence, even after treatment. More...15 Jun 2022

Serological Biomarker Aids Diagnosis of Rare Kidney Disease Without Biopsy
Antibodies against PLA2R (phospholipase A2 receptors) have been recognized as a significant serological biomarker for the diagnosis of primary membranous nephropathy (pMN) and can be determined using exclusive test systems from EUROIMMUN (Luebeck, Germany), a PerkinElmer, Inc. (Waltham, MA; USA) company. More...15 Jun 2022

Automated Extraction of Ultra High Molecular Weight DNA
Hamilton (Reno, NV, USA) and Bionano Genomics (San Diego, CA, USA) have announced the collaborative development of the Long String VANTAGE for the isolation of Ultra High Molecular Weight (UHMW) DNA for use in optical genome mapping (OGM). More...15 Jun 2022

Genetic Polymorphisms Related to Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
Recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) is defined as experiencing two or more spontaneous miscarriages occurring within 20 weeks of gestation and was reported to affect up to 1%–5% of women of reproductive age seeking pregnancy. The causes are unidentifiable in 50% of the patients who are classified as experiencing unexplained recurrent pregnancy loss (URPL). More...13 Jun 2022
