Osteopontin Linked to Progressive Lung Scarring in Scleroderma Patients

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an autoimmune disease characterized by a distinct pathogenic triad of microvascular damage, dysregulation of innate and adaptive immunity, and fibrosis involving skin and many internal organs, such as the heart, kidney, and lungs. More...

Next-Generation Sequencing Detects Residual Disease in Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

The use of next-generation sequencing (NGS) to detect residual disease in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) patients after treatment can better gauge their risk of relapse and overall survival than multiparameter flow cytometry. More...

Distinct Mutation Patterns Identified in Appendiceal Cancer

The incidence of appendiceal cancer (AC) is rising, particularly among individuals younger than 50 years (early-onset AC), with unexplained etiologies. The unique spectrum of somatic cancer gene variations among patients with early-onset AC is largely undetermined. More...

Novel Classification System Identifies Prostate Cancer Patients Who May Benefit from Combined Immune and Radiation Therapies

A novel classification system is expected to aid in the subtyping of aggressive prostate cancers in patients who may benefit from combined immune and radiation therapies. More...

Plasma Levels of N-terminal Tau Fragments Predict Likelihood of Cognitive Decline in Elderly Individuals

A team of neurodegenerative disease researchers found that higher levels of N-terminal fragment of tau (NT1) in blood samples taken at the beginning of a survey of clinically normal elderly individuals were strongly associated with future risk of cognitive decline and progression to Alzheimer's disease.

Gene Expression Signature Traces Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Progression

Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is a common condition marked by the accumulation of triglycerides and other lipids in the liver and is associated with metabolic syndrome, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and dyslipidemia. More...

Image: The RNA of the coronavirus was extracted from the patient sample, which then underwent reverse transcription, gene amplification, and detection through nanoPCR to diagnose the COVID-19 infection. For rapid gene amplification and detection, magneto-plasmonic nanoparticles (MPNs) were used to facilitate the temperature change cycle of the existing RT-PCR at high speed. Finally, a magnetic field separated the MPN, and the fluorescent signal of the amplified DNA was detected (Photo courtesy of Institute for Basic Science, Korea)

Rapid Decentralized Testing for Diagnosis of COVID-19

A novel "nanoPCR" technique enables diagnosis of COVID-19 infections in less than 20 minutes with the accuracy of the current PCR method. More...
