EBV Protein Implicated in Autoimmune Diseases
Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) infection is common and more than 90% of people in the USA become infected by age 20. While resulting in mild disease or no symptoms in children, EBV causes mononucleosis in adolescents and young adults, with symptoms that include fever and extreme fatigue. More...09 May 2018
Thyroid Cancer Genetics Study Finds New Mutations
Anaplastic thyroid cancer (ATC) is a form of thyroid cancer, which has a very poor prognosis due to its aggressive behavior and resistance to cancer treatments. Its anaplastic cells have poor differentiation, including dedifferentiation. More...08 May 2018
Diagnostic SHERLOCK Optimized for Rapid Viral Detection
New technique enables SHERLOCK to detect a virus directly in bodily fluids, eliminating a step that required laboratory equipment and expanding the platform's potential to quickly and cheaply track pathogens such as Zika during an outbreak. More...08 May 2018
Streamlined Approach Discovered for Treating Bowel Cancer
More than 4,000 Australians die from bowel cancer each year, and more than 17,000 new cases of this cancer will be diagnosed in 2018. Scientists are working to understand the genetic drivers of bowel cancer, with a special interest in those cancers which are the hardest to treat, and which have the poorest prognosis.

Metagenomic Sequencing Can Diagnose Cases of Meningitis
Subacute and chronic meningitis are diagnostically challenging given the wide range of potential infectious, autoimmune, neoplastic, paraneoplastic, parameningeal, and toxic causes. Securing a final diagnosis can require weeks or months of testing or remain unsolved, necessitating empirical treatment approaches that may be ineffective or even harmful. More...01 May 2018
