Diagnostic Methods Compared for Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis
Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a tick-borne intracellular bacterial infection caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum. The disease is present in North America, Europe, and northern Asia, areas with Ixodes ricinus ticks, the primary vector for transmission to humans. More...02 May 2019
Personalized Detection of ctDNA Antedates Breast Cancer
Breast cancer is one of the most commonly diagnosed cancers worldwide and the second leading cause of cancer-related deaths in women. The current standard of care for women with primary (non-metastatic) breast cancer is surgery, often followed with adjuvant therapy to eliminate microscopic minimal residual disease (MRD).

Novel Genes and Pathways Discovered in Celiac Disease
Celiac disease (CD) is a chronic systemic autoimmune disease that occurs globally in genetically predisposed individuals in response to ingestion of gluten-containing grains. While the pathognomonic damage occurs in the small intestine, clinical manifestations are varied and include both intestinal and extra-intestinal symptoms. More...01 May 2019
Protein Atlas Accelerates Personalized Medicine in Leukemia Patients
Acute myelogenous leukemia is associated with risk factors that are largely unknown and with a heterogeneous response to treatment. Only about one in four people diagnosed with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) survive five years after the initial diagnosis. More...30 Apr 2019
Human Microbiome Features Stratify Children with IBS
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a disruptive gastrointestinal condition characterized by bloating, changes in bowel habits, and pain that affects up to 20% of the world's population (children and adults). Increasing evidence indicates that the onset and symptoms of IBS are related to the gut microbiome. More...30 Apr 2019
