Combined DNA/RNA Liquid Biopsy Test Identifies Genetic Aberrations in Metastatic Prostate Cancer

Analysis of cell-free DNA and RNA in liquid biopsy samples revealed aberrations in the gene coding for the androgen receptor (AR), which were related to effectiveness of drug treatment and survival time in patients with castration-resistant prostate cancer (mCRPC). More...

Rapid Genomic Profiling of Colon Cancers Improves Therapy Selection

Colorectal cancer is a malignant tumor arising from the inner wall of the large intestine (colon) or rectum. Colorectal cancer is the third leading cause of cancer in both men and women in the USA. Most colorectal cancers develop from polyps. Removal of colon polyps can aid in the prevention of colorectal cancer. More...

Gut Microbiome Metabolomic Profiles Are Diagnostic for Liver Diseases

Liver disease researchers have developed a noninvasive method to diagnose nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) and predict progression to cirrhosis by analyzing metabolomic profiles produced by the microorganisms living in the gut (the microbiome). More...

DNA Sequencing Technique Unravels Genetic Diversity of Cancer Tumors

The ability to sequence the genome of a tumor has revolutionized cancer treatment by identifying drivers of cancer at the molecular level. However, understanding the genetic diversity of individual cells within a tumor and how that might impact the disease progression has remained a challenge, due to the current limitations of genomic sequencing. More...

An Eight MicroRNA Biomarker Panel for Diagnosis of ALS

A team of neurodegenerative disease researchers has identified eight microRNA sequences from enriched exosome extractions of blood plasma that consistently and significantly differentiate patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) from healthy controls. More...
