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...

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...
