RNA-Sequencing Predicts Immunotherapy Success in Bladder Cancer

Urothelial carcinoma, also known as transitional cell carcinoma (TCC), is by far the most common type of bladder cancer. Urothelial cells also line other parts of the urinary tract, such as the part of the kidney that connects to the ureter (called the renal pelvis), the ureters, and the urethra. More...

Sensitive PCR Test Detects Early Stage Lyme Disease

A highly sensitive blood test detects the bacteria that causes Lyme disease in early stages of the infection, when treatment can prevent the development of serious or fatal consequences of the chronic disease. More...

T Cells Recognize Recent SARS-CoV-2 Variants

Due to the proofreading ability of the coronavirus (CoV) RNA-dependent RNA polymerase, the evolution of the global SARS-CoV-2 viral population during the current pandemic has been relatively constrained as compared to other endemic RNA viruses that do not possess this ability. More...

Novel Lipid Biomarker Detects Senescent Cells

A recent paper identified a lipid biomarker indicative of cellular senescence and described a method to evaluate its effect on the molecular events that lead to senescence. More...
