Heterogeneous Populations of Melanoma Circulating Tumor Cells Detected
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be assessed through a minimally invasive blood sample with potential utility as a predictive, prognostic and pharmacodynamic biomarker. The large heterogeneity of melanoma CTCs has hindered their detection and clinical application. More...02 Mar 2020


Fetal Cell-Based NIPT Demonstrated by Droplet Digital PCR
Noninvasive testing techniques are often used for fetal diagnosis of genetic abnormalities, but are limited by certain characteristics, including non-informative results. Thus, novel methods of noninvasive definitive diagnosis of fetal genetic abnormalities are needed. More...27 Feb 2020

Point-Of-Care Molecular Tests Compared for Pediatric Influenza
Respiratory infection by influenza (Flu) is capable of causing severe illness resulting in hospitalization and death in young children and the elderly. Early diagnosis of influenza virus is critical for patient management, infection control, and reduction of health care costs. More...27 Feb 2020

Genetic Risk Factors Found in Gestational Diabetes
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is a common pregnancy complication affecting 6%–15% of pregnancies globally. Although the condition resolves after delivery in most cases, women with a history of GDM have a more than sevenfold increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared with women with a normoglycemic pregnancy. More...26 Feb 2020
