COVID-19 Patients with Lymphocytopenia Are Likely to Suffer Severe Disease Symptoms

An easily recognizable feature in blood samples may be an indicator of whether a COVID-19 patient will be likely to suffer from a severe form of the disease. More...

Immunogenomic Landscape of Hematological Malignancies Mapped

The reaction of the body's immune system against cancer can be thought of as a cycle. Cancer cells contain proteins that differ from proteins in other tissue. Their components, known as antigens, have to be presented to the T cells of the immune system by the cancer cells. More...

Elevated Levels of Two Protein Biomarkers Indicate Potential for Development of Pre-Eclampsia

A pair of novel protein biomarkers has been identified in the blood of asymptomatic pregnant women that can be used to predict the potential onset of pre-eclampsia. More...

Clonal Hematopoiesis of Indeterminate Potential Associated with hsC-Reactive Protein

Clonal hematopoiesis (CH) occurring in normally aging subjects, initially suggested by X-chromosome inactivation studies, is caused by acquired mutations in genes recurrently mutated in hematological cancers, and in non-driver candidates. More...

Combined DNA/RNA Liquid Biopsy Test Identifies Genetic Aberrations in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Analysis of cell-free DNA and RNA in liquid biopsy samples revealed aberrations in the gene coding for the androgen receptor (AR), which were related to effectiveness of drug treatment and survival time in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). More...
