Gene Related to Abnormal Brain Development Identified
Using integrative genomics of brain cells, researchers have identified a gene thought to be associated with the types of brain damage that can be caused by inflammation during premature birth, suggesting the presence of a previously unknown mechanism of brain injury. More...13 Sep 2017

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
