RNA Defects Linked to Multiple Myeloma Progression
Multiple myeloma (MM) is the second most common type of blood cancer where cancer cells accumulate in the bone marrow, crowding out healthy blood cells. Studies on MM development have traditionally focused mostly on DNA abnormalities. More...14 Nov 2018

Blood Test Identifies Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction
A test based on a protein biomarker found in the blood is the basis of a scoring system that distinguishes patients with clinical heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) from healthy individuals and patients with risk factors but no heart failure. More...12 Nov 2018


Combined DNA Technologies Analyzed for Malaria Diagnosis
Malaria is one of the most important parasitic infectious diseases for which almost half of the world’s population is at risk. Although several diagnostic methods are now available to detect the infection, more sensitive and applicable tests are still required in the field. More...08 Nov 2018
