Higher Concentrations of COVID-19 Receptor Protein Found in Men’s Plasma
Results of a large-scale study revealed that plasma concentrations of angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) were higher in men than in women, but use of neither an ACE inhibitor nor an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) was associated with higher plasma ACE2 concentrations. More...18 May 2020
Blood Test Shows Promise for Predicting Cancer
Early detection of most cancers is an elusive and daunting task; nevertheless, it has remained a top priority for the cancer research community. Detecting cancer early has manifold advantages: it can increase a patient’s chances of successful treatment, prolong their survival, and substantially improve their quality of life.

Knowing the Ethnic Specificity of Urinary Biomarker Proteins Could Refine Diagnosis of Lupus Nephritis
A study of biomarkers in the urine of African-Americans, Caucasian, and Asian patients suffering from lupus nephritis identified distinct patterns of proteins associated with each specific ethnicity, which may be useful in diagnosing the disorder. More...13 May 2020
Multicancer Blood Test Aids Screen for Cancer Guide Intervention
As minimally invasive screening tests, liquid biopsies could help reduce cancer-specific morbidity and mortality through earlier detection. However, there is debate on how to effectively screen large populations for cancer, including individuals who do not have symptoms or history of the disease. More...12 May 2020
CRISPR-Based Microarray System Enables Massive Testing for Viral Pathogens
A novel microfluidic nucleic acid-based diagnostic system is capable of detecting a specific virus from a catalog of more than 160 human pathogens, including the COVID-19 coronavirus, simultaneously in more than 1,000 samples. More...11 May 2020
