Benign Hypertension-Causing Tumors Linked to Somatic Co-Driver Mutations

Most aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) have gain-of-function somatic mutations of ion channels or transporters. However, their frequency in aldosterone-producing cell clusters of normal adrenal gland suggests a requirement for co-driver mutations in APAs. More...

WHO Warning: Rapid Tests Misdiagnose Many Cases of P. falciparum Malaria in Africa

A pair of mutations, which result in deletion of the Plasmodium falciparum histidine-rich protein 2 (HRP2), render the malaria parasite invisible to the most commonly used rapid diagnostic tests. More...

IFN-γ Signature Distinguishes Pediatric Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis from Sepsis and SIRS

Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), severe sepsis, and persistent systemic inflammatory response syndrome are all conditions defined by excessive immune activation that may progress rapidly and are associated high risk of death without early introduction of appropriate therapy. More...
