CRP Tracking Predicts Potential Outcome for Hospitalized COVID-19 Patients

By tracking the increase in circulating levels of the inflammatory biomarker C-reactive protein, doctors are able to predict whether newly hospitalized COVID-19 patients will suffer respiratory deterioration with the possible need for intubation. More...

Blood Cell Mutations Underlie Severe Autoinflammatory Disease

Severe adult-onset autoinflammatory disorders often manifest with overlapping clinical features. Affected individuals may develop episodes of high, spiking fevers, a pink or salmon colored rash, joint pain, muscle pain, a sore throat and other symptoms associated with systemic inflammatory disease. More...

Molecular Blood Test Kit Detects Gastric Cancer Early

Gastric cancer (GC) is the fifth most common cancer and the third-leading cause of cancer deaths worldwide. GC mortality is high due to late presentation. In most countries, mass screening is neither feasible nor cost-effective because such screening methods are costly and invasive, with poor compliance. More...

Single-Cell Sequencing Reveals Clonal Diversity Among AML Patients

A growing body of evidence supports the role of clonal diversity in therapeutic resistance, recurrence, and poor outcomes in cancer. Clonal diversity also reflects the history of the accumulation of somatic mutations within a tumor. More...
