Fluorescent Markers May Aid Cancer Diagnostics by Tracking Metabolites
A novel class of fluorescent markers allows realātime tracking of essential metabolites in live cells in culture and in vivo in order to trace the acquisition of metabolic profiles from human cancer cells of variable origin. More...15 Apr 2019

Nuclear Hormone Expression Predicts Cancer Aggressiveness
A large-scale retrospective analysis in patients revealed that expression of the nuclear hormone receptor "retinoic-acid-receptor-related orphan receptor gamma" (RORgamma) could predict pancreatic cancer aggressiveness, since it correlated positively with advanced disease and metastasis. More...15 Apr 2019

Fusion Genes Diagnosis Uses Targeted RNA Sequencing
Chromosomal rearrangements that juxtapose two different genes together can form a fusion gene. Fusion genes play a causal role in tumorigenesis, accounting for ~20% of human cancer morbidity. However, the prevalence of fusion genes varies widely across different cancers, and many fusion genes are specific to certain cancer sub-types. More...10 Apr 2019

Liquid Biopsy Potential Tested with ddPCR Technology
Droplet digital polymerase chain reaction (ddPCR) technology has been used to investigate the benefits of tracking drug-resistance mutations in the circulating DNA (ctDNA) of patients with hormone receptor-positive (HR+) metastatic breast cancer. More...10 Apr 2019
