Gastric Cancer Analysis Identifies Four Subtypes
In previous studies of gastric cancers (GCs), genomic and transcriptomic analyses have identified molecular signatures associated with phenotypes of the disease, such as patient subtypes and survival. New proteogenomic analysis of diffuse gastric cancers (GCs) in young populations identified four subtypes of the disease. More...28 Feb 2019

Genes Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration Identified
Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a complex disease influenced by yet-to-be-understood mix of genetic and behavioral factors. Smoking increases the risk of developing the disease, while eating leafy greens and fish reduces it. More...26 Feb 2019



Markers in Male Reproductive Impairments Causing Miscarriages
Recurrent pregnancy loss, (RPL) affecting 1% to 2% of couples, is defined as ≥3 consecutive pregnancy losses before 20-week' gestation. Women with RPL are routinely screened for etiological factors, but routine screening of male partners is not currently recommended. More...21 Feb 2019
