A Liquid Biopsy Approach for Predicting Likely Relapse Following Treatment of Medulloblastoma in Children
A liquid biopsy technique that determines the level of cell-free DNA in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) can be used to detect measurable residual disease (MRD) in children being treated for the malignant brain tumor medulloblastoma. More...02 Nov 2021

Gene Expression Test Improves Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis Diagnosis
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a serious chronic disease that affects the tissue surrounding the air sacs, or alveoli, in the lungs. This condition occurs when that lung tissue becomes thick and stiff for undetermined reasons. More...01 Nov 2021

Cyclic Adenosine Monophosphate (cAMP) May Be a Diagnostic Biomarker for Chronic Respiratory Diseases
Levels of cyclic adenosine monophosphate in the blood are higher in asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) patients and may be a diagnostic biomarker for these disorders. More...01 Nov 2021
