Liquid Biopsy Test Outperforms Prostate Cancer PCA3 Test

Of the nearly two million prostate biopsies performed each year, less than a third find cancer. Most of these men could have avoided a painful and invasive prostate biopsy procedure, with its associated complications and costs. More...

Rapid Diagnostic Used in Sepsis Management

Until now, clinicians have had to trade off the speed and relative ease of use of conventional highly parallel individual assays, against the information richness, but complexity and unwieldiness of next generation sequencing (NGS). More...

Predatory Bacteria Found in Lung Microbiome of CF Patient

The natural evolution of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive decline in lung function caused by a vicious circle of inflammation and tissue destruction, which is triggered and maintained by the chronic bacterial colonization of the lower respiratory tract. More...

Biomarkers of Sickle Cell and Hemoglobin SC Compared

Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited diseases that includes sickle cell anemia (SCA), which is the homozygous state of the beta S (βS) allele and the most severe SCD genotype. The heterozygous state of the βS allele is characterized by the presence of hemoglobin S (HbS) and is associated with a group of less severe SCD, including hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC). More...

Pre-Op Test Can Detect Some Pancreatic Cancers

A newly developed genetic test was highly sensitive at determining which pancreatic cysts are most likely to be associated with one of the most aggressive types of pancreatic cancer. The successful results are a critical step toward a precision medicine approach to detecting and treating pancreatic cancer. More...

Blood Test Predicts Patient Response to Immunotherapy

In a first-of-its-kind study in the field, researchers found that testing blood-based liquid biopsy samples for genomic mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) could help reveal which patients would likely respond to checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapies (CIIs). More...

Paper-based Immunoassay Distinguishes Zika and Dengue Infections

A rapid, easy-to-use immunoassay identifies individuals with Zika virus infection with no false positive results due to dengue virus or other flaviviruses. More...
