PCR.ai is a highly accurate time-saving tool that reduces complexity of qPCR analysis for this and other pathogens (Photo courtesy of Centre for Infection/Public Health England/SP).

Implement Diagnostics System Improves Infectious Disease Testing

 A team of scientists recently began using machine-learning tools and assessed them in a prospective clinical trial to determine whether artificial intelligence could perform better than specialists in clinical test interpretation. More...

Childhood Kidney Cancer Arises from Altered Normal Tissue

 While kidney cancer in children is rare, the most common type is Wilms tumor, which mostly affects children under the age of five. Most cases of Wilms tumor can be cured through surgery to remove the afflicted kidney in combination with chemotherapy and possibly radiotherapy. More...
