Missing BAP1 Gene Associated with Immunosuppressive Molecules in Uveal Melanoma

Uveal melanoma is a cancer (melanoma) of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea and give color to the eye. More...

Real-Time Assay Evaluated for Two Sexually Transmitted Diseases

Chlamydia trachomatis and Neisseria gonorrhoeae are the two most commonly reported sexually transmitted infections (STIs) in the USA and the numbers of cases are increasing. C. trachomatis and N. gonorrhoeae infections in the rectum and pharynx are important extragenital reservoirs of infection. More...
