Liquid Biopsy Detects Cancer across Multiple Biomarkers
Although biomarker-directed therapy is in its infancy in prostate cancer compared to some other tumor types, there is a great need for predictive biomarker testing, and great interest in noninvasive methods. However, comprehensive analysis of patients' cell-free DNA has been limited to date. More...06 Dec 2018
DNA Recombination in Brain Linked to Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is a public health crisis. The cause of the disease remains unknown and no meaningful treatment exists. Nearly six million people in the USA are living with Alzheimer's disease, a number projected to reach 14 million by 2060 as the population ages. More...05 Dec 2018
Genes Identified That Predispose People to Chronic Kidney Disease
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) affects 10% to 15% of the population worldwide and is now recognized as the most rapidly increasing contributor to global burden of disease. The costs related to CKD and end-stage renal disease (the terminal manifestation of CKD) are an enormous burden for all healthcare systems around the world. More...05 Dec 2018
LAMP Assay Validated for Visceral Leishmaniasis
Visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is one of the most neglected infectious diseases with an annual incidence of 50,000 to 90,000 new cases worldwide. Cases of VL are characterized by irregular bouts of fever, weight loss, hepatosplenomegaly, hypergammaglobulinemia, pancytopenia and anaemia. More...03 Dec 2018
Highly Multiplexed Broad Pathogen Assay Detects Infectious Diseases
Identifying the causative agent in an acute febrile illness can be challenging diagnostically, especially when organisms in a particular region have overlapping clinical presentation or when that pathogen’s presence is unexpected. More...29 Nov 2018
Acute Myeloid Leukemia Regulatory Networks Identified
Adult acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer in which the bone marrow makes abnormal myeloblasts (a type of white blood cell), red blood cells, or platelets. AML is a heterogeneous disease caused by a variety of alterations in transcription factors, epigenetic regulators and signaling molecules. More...28 Nov 2018
