An Extracellular Vesicle-Based Liquid Biopsy for Early Cancer Detection

An early diagnostic approach for a wide range of cancers is based on liquid biopsy analysis of proteins found in or released by extracellular vesicles circulating in the blood. More...

Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification-Assay Rapidly Diagnoses COVID-19

The SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) pandemic of 2020 has resulted in unparalleled requirements for RNA extraction kits and enzymes required for virus detection, leading to global shortages. This has necessitated the exploration of alternative diagnostic options to alleviate supply chain issues. More...

Newborn Exome Sequencing Locates Inborn Errors of Metabolism

Inborn errors of metabolism (IEM) form a large class of genetic diseases involving congenital disorders of metabolism. The majority are due to defects of single genes that code for enzymes that facilitate conversion of various substrates into others products. More...

Single-Cell Analysis Provides New Insights into Mitochondrial Diseases

Mitochondrial diseases result from failure of mitochondria, specialized compartments within cells that contain their own DNA and produce the energy needed to sustain life. Some of the most challenging mitochondrial disorders arise from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a high-copy-number genome that is maternally inherited. More...

Isoform-Specific Loss Of Dystonin Causes Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease

CMT is divided into demyelinating (type 1) and axonal (type 2) forms of the disease based on clinical, electrophysiological, histological, and genetic features. Recessively inherited demyelinating neuropathies are called CMT4, whereas recessively inherited axonal neuropathies are called autosomal recessive (AR)-CMT. More...

Blood Bank NAT-Based Assay Prevents Transfusion-Transmitted Malaria

Blood transfusion is an essential component of health care, which saves millions of lives across the world. The screening of blood donors for transfusion-transmissible agents is crucial in reducing risks of transfusion of infected units. More...
