Study Identifies Gene Variations for Mouth Ulcers

An extensive genome-wide association study (GWAS) identified 97 common genetic variations that predisposed people to suffer from mouth ulcers. More...

Rapid Molecular Test Detects Macrolide Resistance

Emerging antimicrobial resistance is a significant threat to human health. However, methods for rapidly diagnosing antimicrobial resistance generally require multi-day culture-based assays. More...

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...

Blood Test Predicts Kidney Transplant Rejection

A renal transplant offers the best treatment for patients whose kidneys have failed, with around 3,000 carried out annually in the UK. Acute rejection occurs when the body's immune system begins to attack the donated organ. More...

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.

Clinical ddPCR Diagnostic Test System Gets FDA Clearance

A test designed for monitoring treatment response in chronic myeloid leukemia and is also the first-ever digital polymerase chain reaction (PCR) product to receive US official government approval. More...

Circulating Plasma DNA Potentially Identifies Incipient Tumors

Early cancer diagnosis might improve survival rates. As circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) carries cancer-specific modifications, it has great potential as a noninvasive biomarker for detection of incipient tumors. More...
