Endometrium Undergoes Gene Expression Shifts During Menstrual Cycle

In a human menstrual cycle the endometrium undergoes remodeling, shedding and regeneration, all of which are driven by substantial gene expression changes in the underlying cellular hierarchy. More...

Rapid One-Step Assay for Field-Based Detection of Asymptomatic Malaria

A novel CRISPR-based ultrasensitive assay system was able to detect the four major types of malaria-causing parasites and has been streamlined for use in locations lacking the advanced laboratory equipment and highly trained technicians required for tests such as RT-qPCR, which is used extensively for monitoring the COVID-19 pandemic. More...

One-Step CRISPR-Based Assay Could Streamline COVID-19 Testing

An advanced CRISPR-based diagnostic test for COVID-19 produces results in 30 to 60 minutes, with accuracy similar to the standard CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) RT- qPCR test now in routine use. More...

Genomic Copy Number Predicts Esophageal Cancer Years Before Transformation

Barrett’s esophagus is a condition in which the lining of the esophagus changes, becoming more like the lining of the small intestine rather than the esophagus. This occurs in the area where the esophagus is joined to the stomach. More...

Circulating Tumor DNA Analysis Directs Therapy in Breast Cancer

Multiple tumor mutations are potentially targetable for advanced breast cancer treatment. Some of these mutations are common, such as activating PIK3CA mutations that are targetable with PI3K inhibitors. More...
