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...

RT-LAMP Assay Developed for SARS-CoV-2

SARS-CoV-2 is the causative viral pathogen of COVID-19, and diagnosis of COVID-19 can be done through CT scan of suspicious patients and a confirmatory laboratory test is performed using published real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) methods. More...

Genetic Risk Score Predicts Prostate Cancer Drug Response

Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer is when the cancer has spread to parts of the body other than the prostate, and it is able to grow and spread even though drugs or other treatments to lower the amount of male sex hormones are being used to manage the cancer. More...
