Early Plasma Biomarkers Discovered for Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the predominant form of dementia and the most common neurodegenerative disorder. Advanced age and the presence of the ε4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE) are the most relevant late‐onset sporadic AD‐promoting factors as they interact with the core mechanisms of this neurologic disorder.

TAP1 Gene Polymorphisms Associated with Recurrent Respiratory Papillomatosis
Recurrent respiratory papillomatosis (RRP) is a respiratory tract disease that affects children and adults and is characterized by the recurrent proliferation of multiple papillomas. The proliferation of multiple papillomas within the airway in RRP primarily affects the larynx. More...09 Feb 2021



Precise Measurement of DNA Length Polymorphisms Used to Diagnose Acute Myeloid Leukemia
By combining two powerful analytical tools, researchers have demonstrated the ability to diagnose diseases such as leukemia by quantifying both the size and proportion of DNA length polymorphisms. More...08 Feb 2021

Liquid Biopsy Predicts Colon Cancer Relapse Months Earlier
Colorectal cancer (CRC), also known as bowel cancer, colon cancer, or rectal cancer, is the development of cancer from the colon or rectum (parts of the large intestine). Signs and symptoms may include blood in the stool, a change in bowel movements, weight loss, and fatigue. More...03 Feb 2021
