Click Chip’ Detects Early-Stage Liver Cancer Biomarkers in Extracellular Vesicles
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The poor prognosis of HCC can be attributed to the fact that diagnosis is often made at a late stage in disease development. More...21 Sep 2020

Novel Rapid Lateral Flow Assay Measures Ovarian Cancer Biomarker CA125
A radically modified lateral flow immunoassay was able to detect the ovarian cancer biomarker glycosylated CA125 in serum samples and rapidly differentiate epithelial ovarian cancer from benign endometriosis and healthy controls. More...21 Sep 2020



Proteomics-Based Diagnostic Test Predicts Risk of Dying from Staphylococcus aureus Bacteremia
A diagnostic approach that integrates proteomic and metabolomic techniques enabled the identification of biomarkers that could predict which patients had the highest risk of dying from Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia. More...14 Sep 2020
