Acute Myeloid Leukemia Risk Predicted in Healthy Individuals
The incidence of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) increases with age and mortality exceeds 90% when diagnosed after age 65. Most cases arise without any detectable early symptoms and patients usually present with the acute complications of bone marrow failure. More...25 Jul 2018
Biosensor Chip Detects SNPs with Higher Sensitivity
A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) is the change in a single nucleotide base (A, C, G or T) in the DNA sequence and it is the most common type of genetic mutation. While most SNPs have no discernible effect on health, some are associated with increased risk of developing pathological conditions such as cancer, diabetes, heart disease, neurodegenerative disorders, autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

Integrated Analyses Offer Molecular Insights to Tumor Subtypes
The most common malignancy of young adult males of European descent are testicular germ cell tumors (TGCTs) of the type derived from germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS). There are two major histologic types: pure classic seminoma and nonseminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCTs). More...19 Jul 2018
Biomarker Discovered for Hypervirulent Pathogen
There is no accurate method for distinguishing between the hypervirulent strain from the classical strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae (cKp), which is most often seen in the Western hemisphere, and is less virulent and usually causes infections in hospital settings. More...18 Jul 2018
MicroRNA Pair Serves as Biomarkers for Rapid Sepsis Diagnosis
Two microRNAs that could be the basis of a test to help physicians classify patients into those with organ failure who are at high risk of sepsis and death and those patients with milder infections have been identified. More...16 Jul 2018
Optimization of Analytical Procedures Reduces Variability of Results
A team of Spanish researchers recently described the development and optimization of several "quantitative suspension array" assays (qSAT) designed to assess natural and vaccine-induced responses to malaria and other parasites. More...16 Jul 2018
