Fatal Fungal Infection Has Unique Growth Patterns
The multidrug-resistant yeast Candida auris, which has caused fatal infections in some hospitalized patients, has at least two different growth patterns and some of its strains are as capable of causing disease as the most invasive type of yeast called Candida albicans. More...08 Sep 2016
New Types of African Salmonella Associated with Lethal Infection
The first global-scale genetic study of Salmonella enteritidis bacteria, which is a major cause of blood poisoning and death in Africa and food poisoning in the Western World, has discovered that there are in fact three separate types. More...07 Sep 2016
First Epigenetic Signature Test to Classify Metastasis Tumors of Unknown Origin
A multicentre, retrospective study has shown that an innovative new test could be used for epigenetic profiling to classify cancer of unknown primary (CUP) origin, which would enable doctors to develop more specific treatments. More...06 Sep 2016
Inherited Genetic Variant Increases Risk of Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
An inherited genetic variant, associated with an increased risk of developing the most common type of leukemia, helps cancer cells survive has been identified and these findings could lead to new ways to target the disease. More...01 Sep 2016
Genetic Analysis of Lesions Provides Accurate Esophageal Cancer Test
Barrett's Esophagus is a common condition that affects an estimated 1.5 million people in the UK alone, although many are undiagnosed. This condition involves normal cells in the esophagus being replaced by an unusual cell type called Barrett's Esophagus, and is thought to be a consequence of chronic reflux or heartburn.
