Immune Processes Linked to Multiple Sclerosis Genetics
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory degenerative disease of the central nervous system that often starts in young adulthood and affects 2.3 million individuals worldwide. While prior genetic studies have implicated the adaptive immune system in the disease, in particular T cells, much of the genetic architecture of MS has remained unknown. More...17 Oct 2019
Methylation Signature Identified for Brain Metastases of Lung Cancer
When lung cancer metastasizes to the brain, it means the primary lung cancer has created a secondary cancer in the brain. About 20% to 40% of adults with non-small cell lung cancer go on to develop brain metastases at some point during their illness. More...17 Oct 2019
PCR Kit Developed for Detection of Q-fever Pathogen
Coxiella burnetii is an obligate intracellular bacterium that causes Q fever in animals and humans. The infection results from inhalation of a spore-like small-cell variant, and from contact with the milk, urine, feces, vaginal mucus or semen of infected animals. More...17 Oct 2019
Triple-Negative Breast Cancer Classified from Whole-Genome Sequencing
A diagnosis of triple negative breast cancer means that the three most common types of receptors known to fuel most breast cancer growth–estrogen, progesterone and the HER-2/neu gene are not present in the cancer tumor. More...16 Oct 2019
Multigene Testing for Breast Cancer Patients Proves Cost-Effective
Health systems in the UK and USA could cost-effectively screen all women with breast cancer for risky germline changes in a handful of breast or ovarian cancer genes, according to a new economic modeling analysis, identifying at-risk individuals who could benefit from additional imaging tests and cancer-reducing interventions. More...16 Oct 2019
New Blood Test Capable of Detecting Multiple Cancer Types
A new blood test in development has shown ability to screen for numerous types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy, a trial of the test shows. In study, test proved able to detect and localize more than 20 types of cancer with a high degree of accuracy. More...16 Oct 2019
Two Different Mutations Identified as Cause of AML
Two very different mutations have been identified as unexpected partners in crime for causing the blood cancer acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Expert analysis helped reveal how this deadly duo is far more common in AML than thought. More...15 Oct 2019
