Liquid Biopsy Proves Effective as Biopsy for NSCLC
Non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) is any type of epithelial lung cancer other than small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). NSCLC accounts for about 85% of all lung cancers. As a class, NSCLCs are relatively insensitive to chemotherapy, compared to small cell carcinoma. More...13 Mar 2019

Alzheimer's Disease Meta-Analysis Identifies New Risk Genes
The risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially driven by genetics. Scientists have uncovered five new late-onset Alzheimer's disease risk genes in a genetic meta-analysis. They likewise confirmed 20 other genes previously linked to late-onset Alzheimer's risk.
