Highly Sensitive Molecular Test Detects Cases of Tuberculosis
Tuberculosis (TB) is a bacterial infection spread through inhaling tiny droplets from the coughs or sneezes of an infected person. It mainly affects the lungs, but it can affect any part of the body, including the tummy (abdomen), glands, bones and nervous system. More...28 Jun 2021
Serum Thrombospondin 2 Identified as Biomarker for Patients at Risk of Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease
Serum levels of the glycoprotein thrombospondin 2 (TSP-2) were shown to be a useful biomarker for non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) and advanced fibrosis diagnosis in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) patients. More...28 Jun 2021
Genetic Variants Associated with Unexplained Sudden Cardiac Death
As many as 450,000 Americans die every year from a sudden, fatal heart condition, and in slightly more than one in ten cases the cause remains unexplained even after an autopsy. Most sudden cardiac deaths are caused by abnormal heart rhythms called arrhythmias and the most common life-threatening arrhythmia is ventricular fibrillation. More...22 Jun 2021
CtDNA Analysis Assesses Early Relapse Detection in Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a type of cancer that begins in the large intestine (colon). The colon is the final part of the digestive tract. Colon cancer typically affects older adults, though it can happen at any age. It usually begins as small, noncancerous (benign) clumps of cells called polyps that form on the inside of the colon. Over time some of these polyps can become colon cancers. More...17 Jun 2021
Liquid Biopsies Detect Pediatric Bone Tumors Based on Epigenetic Profiles
Sequencing of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of cancer patients (liquid biopsy) provides attractive opportunities for early diagnosis, assessment of treatment response, and minimally invasive disease monitoring. As a consequence, cfDNA analysis holds great promise for precision oncology and personalized therapies, and is currently evaluated in a broad range of clinical studies. More...17 Jun 2021
Genomic Differences Cause Racial Disparities in Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer is a disease defined by the abnormal growth of cells. These abnormal cells can proliferate in an uncontrolled way and, if left untreated, form tumors which may metastasize or spread to other parts of the body. Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common solid organ malignancy in men, with 174,650 new diagnoses and 31,620 deaths expected in 2019 in the USA alone. More...17 Jun 2021

Plasma Levels of Neurofilament Light Chain Protein Accurately Identify Neurodegenerative Disease Patients
A recent paper indicated that levels of neurofilament light chain (NfL) protein in the blood can be used to identify individuals who might have a neurodegenerative disease such as Alzheimer's disease (AD), Down's syndrome dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), atypical parkinsonian disorders, or frontotemporal dementia when clinical symptoms are not definitive.
