Real-Time PCR Assay Developed for Detection of Candida

Vulvovaginal candidiasis (VVC) is a common condition characterized by vulvovaginal inflammation in combination with detection of one or more of several Candida species and after bacterial vaginosis, VVC is the second most common cause of vulvovaginitis. More...

DNA Signature Linked to Prostate Cancer Severity

From extensive genomic analyses of localized, non-indolent prostate cancer (PrCa), researchers have succeeded to identify differences in mutational profiles between localized intermediate risk and metastatic, castrate-resistant PrCa. More...

Digital CTC Assay Improves Liver Cancer Diagnosis

Liver cancer, including hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), is the second highest cause of cancer death in the world. HCC is particularly prevalent in developing countries, where its incidence is driven by infection with the hepatitis B virus, which now affects more than 248 million individuals. More...

Noninvasive Prenatal Testing of Single Gene Diseases Developed

An approach that allows for the noninvasive assessment of both maternally and paternally inherited mutations involves the analysis of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in maternal plasma DNA with reference to parental haplotype information. More...

Gene Panel Differentiates Survival Outcomes in Humans Infected with Ebola

A team of molecular virologists used transcriptome data from individuals infected with Ebola virus and from convalescent patients recovering from the disease to identify early stage host factors that were associated with the acute illness and those that differentiated patients who survived from those that died.

LAMP-Kit Diagnoses Non-Falciparum Malaria

Malaria incidence has recently been declining globally, although in many African countries it is still one of the top health problems and the efforts to control and eradicate malaria will still need a strong diagnostic capacity, which allows any parasitaemic patient to be detected and treated sooner.
