Serum Level Measurements Improve Disease Risk Prediction
Results obtained by using a commercially available uromodulin ELISA kit to analyze serum samples from individuals at risk for heart and circulatory system diseases indicated that this kidney-specific protein is a biomarker not only for kidney disease but also for cardiovascular diseases.

Early Stage Cancer CTCs Indicators of Poor Prognosis
By testing blood from a pulmonary vein near the site of a lung tumor rather than from a peripheral vein, cancer researchers found that the presence of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) in the blood during early stages of the disease was indicative of a poor prognosis for the patient.

Antibacterial Resistance Revealed in Women with UTIs
Nearly 20% of women aged 15-29 are diagnosed with a urinary tract infection (UTI) and antibiotic resistance prolongs UTI treatment and resistance profiles vary regionally. This regional variation is an important consideration in guiding empirical treatment selection. More...08 Sep 2017
Blood Test Predicts Prostate Tumor Resistance
Prostate cancer (PCa) is the most common cancer and the third leading cause of cancer death among European men. In metastatic PCa progression from a hormone-sensitive state to castration resistance under androgen deprivation therapy marks the transition to the lethal phenotype of the disease.
