Epigenetic Biomarkers Increase Sensitivity of Prostate Cancer Liquid Biopsy Diagnostic Tests
A team of Austrian researchers identified additional epigenetic biomarkers that will upgrade the diagnosis of advanced prostate cancer by increasing the sensitivity of liquid biopsy analysis of circulating tumor DNA. More...31 Jan 2022
Novel Breath-Based Diagnostics Could Indicate Early Rejection of Organs in Lung Transplant Patients
SQI Diagnostics Inc. (Ontario, Canada) and Owlstone Medical (Cambridge, UK) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to work together on the discovery, development and commercialization of breath-based biomarkers relating to invasive aspergillus lung infection and lung transplant rejection.

Melanoma Test Offers Reassurance of Low Risk of Cancer Spread
Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive form of skin cancer with an increasing worldwide incidence, particularly in the younger population. Although treatment for patients with metastatic melanoma has improved remarkably in the last decade, principally with targeted therapies and immune checkpoint modulators, there are still no consistently beneficial treatments for patients with metastatic disease.

New Test That Accurately Measures DNA Damage in Sperm Could Improve Male Infertility Diagnosis
A new test that can measure the amount of DNA damage in sperm with greater accuracy than current tests could significantly improve diagnosis of male infertility, which is more important than ever now that infertility rates are mounting. More...25 Jan 2022
Circulating Small Extracellular Vesicles Provide Liquid Biopsy Biomarkers for Glioblastoma Diagnosis
A recently published paper described the development of a non-invasive liquid biopsy approach for the identification of biomarkers that could significantly improve glioblastoma (GB) diagnosis and, consequently, patients’ prognosis and quality of life. More...24 Jan 2022
