HPV DNA Test Monitors Remission in Oral Cancer
A blood-based method has been developed to test patients with human papillomavirus-associated oral cancers for signs of remission or recurrence. This approach would potentially allow doctors to more accurately and more easily identify which patients are free from cancer after radiation treatment, and which might be poised to recur.

Ultrasensitive Screening Platform Detects Pathogenic Bacteria
A diagnostic platform has been developed that significantly increases the sensitivity of high-throughput sequencing for detection and characterization of bacteria, virulence determinants, and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) genes. More...05 Nov 2018
Multidrug-Resistant TB Outbreak Undetected by Standard Tests
Rapid diagnosis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis resistant to anti-tuberculosis drugs is essential to prevent further acquisition of drug resistance, high morbidity and mortality, and unabated transmission of resistant strains. More...31 Oct 2018
Chronic Inflammation Linked to Risk for Alzheimer's Disease
While it has been widely shown that possessing the apolipoprotein E4 (ApoE4) gene is the major genetic risk factor of Alzheimer's disease (AD), not all ApoE4 carriers develop AD. It is likely that a complex interaction of genetic vulnerabilities with environmental risk factors lead to AD and identifying such factors could be beneficial for the prevention of AD.

Fatal Prostate Cancer Differentiated from Manageable Cancer
Human prostate cancers display numerous DNA methylation changes compared to normal tissue samples. However, definitive identification of features related to the cells’ malignant status has been compromised by the predominance of cells with luminal features in prostate cancers. More...29 Oct 2018
