Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk Predicted by Immune-Related Germline Variants

 A single normal cell randomly acquires a series of mutations that allows it to proliferate and to be transformed into a cancer cell (i.e., founding clone), which initiates tumor progression and recurrence. More...

Aqueous Humor Is Superior to Blood to Diagnose Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a cancer that forms in the light-detecting cells in the back of the eye. It often appears in children under two years of age and can lead to blindness or eye removal. Most cancers are biopsied and studied so that medical scientists can design targeted treatments. More...

Novel Nanosensing Technologies Developed for Exosome Detection and Profiling

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most eukaryotic cells. Liquid biopsy technologies have been developed to do high-throughput exosome protein profiling and point-of-care (POC) exosome analysis. More...

Blood Biomarkers Identify Individuals at Risk of Heart Attack or Stroke

A recent study found that elevated levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T or NT-proBNP characterized individuals with elevated blood pressure (BP) or hypertension not currently recommended for anti-hypertensive medication who are at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events such as heart attack or stroke. More...

Early-Onset Alzheimer's Mutation Possibly Mitigated by APOE Variant

Alzheimer's disease is an irreversible, progressive brain disorder that slowly destroys memory and thinking skills, and, eventually, the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people with Alzheimer's, symptoms first appear in their mid-60s. More...
