Unique Genetic Makeup of Myeloma Tumor Cells Profiled
Multiple myeloma is the second-most common type of blood cancer. Multiple myeloma occurs when plasma cells in the bone marrow, the cells that produce antibodies, proliferate out of control and lead to various type of organ failure and death. More...17 Dec 2018
Plasmodium vivax Isolated in Duffy Negative Individuals
Malaria in Nigeria is principally due to Plasmodium falciparum and, to a lesser extent to P. malariae and P. ovale. P. vivax is thought to be absent in Nigeria in particular and sub-Saharan Africa in general, due to the near fixation of the Duffy negative gene in this population. More...12 Dec 2018
MALDI-TOF MS Identifies Oomycete Causing Pythiosis
Pythiosis is an invasive, difficult-to-treat, life-threatening infectious disease caused by Pythium insidiosum, a member of the unique group of fungus-like microorganisms called oomycetes. The disease has been increasingly reported worldwide. More...12 Dec 2018
Circulating Tumor DNA Detects Early Melanoma Growth
According to the National Cancer Institute, there were 91,270 new cases of melanoma in 2018, making up more than 5% of all new cancer cases. There were 9,320 estimated deaths in 2018, and 91.8% of patients survive five years or longer. More...11 Dec 2018
Methylation-Based Liquid Biopsy Test Detects Liver Cancer
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) represents about 75% of liver cancers in the USA and already has well-established screening criteria focused largely on individuals with cirrhosis, who are screened every six months using ultrasound with or without blood testing for alpha- fetoprotein, according to guidelines.
