An Eight MicroRNA Biomarker Panel for Diagnosis of ALS
A team of neurodegenerative disease researchers has identified eight microRNA sequences from enriched exosome extractions of blood plasma that consistently and significantly differentiate patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) from healthy controls.

RNA Sequencing as Alternative to Immunohistochemistry in Cancer Diagnostics
The conventionally used method for cancer diagnostics relies on immunohistochemical dyeing of tumor tissue sections. It allows detecting the presence and measuring the concentration of marker proteins characterizing malignant growths. The resulting microscope images indicate whether the tumor is malignant and what its molecular type is. This information is crucial for selecting the right therapy. More...06 Jul 2020
Precision Medicine-Based Genetic Testing Developed for Prostate Cancer
Germline testing (GT) is a central feature of prostate cancer (PCA) treatment, management, and hereditary cancer assessment. Critical needs include optimized multigene testing strategies that incorporate evolving genetic data, consistency in GT indications and management, and alternate genetic evaluation models that address the rising demand for genetic services.

Gut Microbiome Dysbiosis Characterized in Parkinson’s Disease
Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a common, progressive, and debilitating disease, which currently cannot be prevented or cured. With the exception of rare genetic forms, the cause of PD is unknown. Symptoms start gradually, sometimes starting with a barely noticeable tremor in just one hand. Tremors are common, but the disorder also commonly causes stiffness or slowing of movement.
