Molecular Diagnostics

Image: The myTAIHEART test is a powerful non-invasive test that uses a small sample of blood to determine if a patient is at a low or increased risk of rejecting their heart transplant. myTAIHEART works by measuring the fraction of cell-free DNA (cfDNA) present in the bloodstream that is attributable to the transplanted heart. An elevated donor fraction (DF%) is associated with an increased risk of acute cellular rejection (Photo courtesy of TAI Diagnostics).

Heart Transplant Monitoring Test Validated

 A heart transplant, or a cardiac transplant, is a surgical transplant procedure performed on patients with end-stage heart failure or severe coronary artery disease. Noninvasive risk assessment for rejection in heart transplant recipients, both adult and pediatric, is an imperative and urgent clinical need. More...

Real-Time PCR Developed for Eumycetoma Diagnosis

 Mycetoma, a progressive and disfiguring disease, is one of the neglected tropical diseases, caused by both bacteria and fungi. Eumycetoma is the fungal type and mainly caused by species of the genus Madurella. More...

Technique Predicts Cancer Recurrence Risk for Melanoma Patients

 Many primary melanomas can be cured by having this lesion removed, but melanoma can also recur and spread; an analysis of the removed lesion can offer some information on the likelihood that the cancer will recur. More...

Urinary Metabolite GWAS Leads to Biomarkers of Kidney Disease

 The kidneys integrate information from continuous systemic processes related to the absorption, distribution, metabolism and excretion (ADME) of metabolites. Scientists have identified ties between urine metabolite levels and common genetic variants, laying the foundation for a more refined view of human metabolic processes and the tissues in which they take place.
