Peptide Biomarker Predicts Risk of Dying in Patients with Stable Heart Failure

 Cardiovascular disease researchers have identified a biomarker that predicts when a patient with chronic stable heart failure (CHF) is likely to die. More...

Blood-Based Sequencing Identifies Pediatric Cancer Infections Before Symptoms

 Infections are common, yet life-threatening complications that affect immuno-compromised cancer patients and bloodstream infection (BSI) is a common, life-threatening complication of treatment for cancer. More...

Molecular Profiles, Microenvironment Signatures May Improve Lymphoma Prognosis

 The tumor microenvironment includes surrounding blood vessels, immune cells, fibroblasts, signaling molecules, and the extracellular matrix that encapsulate the cancerous cells. The non-lymphoma cells lingering in the tumor's microenvironment, for example, can modify the effect of the mutations. More...

Common Variant Modifiers for Syndromic Heart Condition Located

 DiGeorge syndrome, also known as 22q11. 2 deletion syndrome, is a syndrome caused by the deletion of a small segment of chromosome 22. While the symptoms can vary, they often include congenital heart problems, specific facial features, frequent infections, developmental delay, learning problems and cleft palate. More...

Urinary Cell-Free DNA Detects Urothelial Carcinoma

 Most bladder cancers start in the innermost lining of the bladder, which is called the urothelium or transitional epithelium. As the cancer grows into or through the other layers in the bladder wall, it has a higher stage, becomes more advanced, and can be harder to treat. More...

An Omics Approach for Predicting Mutations in Protein-Metal Binding Sites

 A deep learning approach was developed that was able to predict how mutations in the metal-binding sites of metalloproteins were related to various diseases. More...
