Next-Gen Sequencing of CSF Diagnoses Neurobrucellosis
Brucellosis is the most common zoonotic infection in the world with more than 500,000 new cases are reported annually worldwide. It is a multisystem infection, with variable clinical presentations and brucellosis with nervous system involvement is known as Neurobrucellosis (NB). More...21 Feb 2018

Molecular Test Adapted for Parkinson’s and DLB
Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) (or Lewy body dementia) are called α-synucleinopathies due to the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of a protein called α-synuclein (αSyn) in the brain. More...20 Feb 2018

Genomic Sequencing Augments Diagnosis of Lymphoid Cancer
Lymphoid cancers include diffuse large B-cell lymphomas (DLBCL), follicular lymphoma (FL), and chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). In recent years, several sequencing-based assays have been developed, but their clinical applicability and utility for patients with specific mutations still needs to be verified. More...19 Feb 2018


Molecular Test Device Developed for RNA Viral Detection
A microfluidic, continuous-flow, quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) system to detect viral RNA targets has been developed and its creator have been working to reduce manufacturing costs and identify potential partners for commercialization. More...14 Feb 2018
