Blood Test Enables Early Detection of Oral Cancer

Researchers have used a technology called conductive polymer spray ionization mass spectrometry to screen the blood for metabolic signs of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) - a type of cancer of the mouth and throat - that contributes around 90% of oral cancers. More...

MIS-C Linked to Rare, Immune-Related Variants

Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a critical and potentially life-threatening complication of COVID-19 in pediatric settings. Children who were diagnosed with MIS-C tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection by reverse transcriptase–polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) or antibody testing and had fever for more than four days. More...

Noninvasive Blood Test Predicts Rejection After Heart Transplant

Heart transplantation (HTx) is the definitive treatment option for patients with advanced heart failure. Despite continued advances in post-transplant outcomes, allograft rejection and allograft injury remain impediments to post-transplant survival. More...

Proteomics-based Blood Test May Replace Biopsy for Diagnosis of Liver Disease

A mass spectroscopy-based proteomics assay was able to predict whether an individual subject was afflicted by alcohol-related liver disease and whether the individual was at risk of disease progression. More...

Testing for DNA Shed from Colon Cancers into Bloodstream Guides Chemotherapy After Surgery

A new research study has shown that circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) - genetic material shed from tumors into the bloodstream - can identify colon cancer patients who can most benefit from chemotherapy following surgery and spare other patients the need for this form of treatment. More...
