Image: Small particle LDL has been associated with the progression of atherosclerosis and blockage the artery lumen, because it can carry cholesterol into smaller vessels. As atheroma enlarges, the arterial wall ruptures and releases blood clots that lead to narrowing of the artery (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

LDL Subclasses Ratio Predicts Cardiovascular Disease Risk More Accurately than LDL-cholesterol Alone

 Measurement of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol may a less effective way to predict risk of cardiovascular disease than is the further analysis of the relative proportions of LDL subclasses. More...

MicroRNA Panel Distinguishes Benign Moles from Melanoma in the Eye

 A blood test based on a panel of six microRNAs (miRNAs) is able to distinguish non-cancerous nevi from malignant melanoma in the eye. More...

Mycobacterium Infection Found in Gastric Patients’ Stomachs

 Development of gastric diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer is often associated with several biotic and abiotic factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is such a well-known biotic factor. However, not all H. pylori-infected individuals develop gastric diseases and not all individuals with gastric diseases are infected with H. pylori. More...

Novel, High-Accuracy Blood Test Can Screen for Multiple Cancers

 A new targeted methylation-based assay has been developed that is able to screen blood samples for more than 20 types of cancer at all stages, including lung cancer, with high accuracy and it also correctly pinpoints the tissue of origin (TOO). More...

Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics

 Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...

Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk Predicted by Immune-Related Germline Variants

 A single normal cell randomly acquires a series of mutations that allows it to proliferate and to be transformed into a cancer cell (i.e., founding clone), which initiates tumor progression and recurrence. More...

Aqueous Humor Is Superior to Blood to Diagnose Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a cancer that forms in the light-detecting cells in the back of the eye. It often appears in children under two years of age and can lead to blindness or eye removal. Most cancers are biopsied and studied so that medical scientists can design targeted treatments. More...
