Blood Test Detects Resistance to BRCA-Targeting Drugs

Resistance to platinum-based chemotherapy or PARP inhibition in germline BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutation carriers may occur through somatic reversion mutations or intragenic deletions that restore BRCA1 or BRCA2 function. More...

MicroRNA-based Assay Proposed for Early Detection of Cancer

Cancer researchers have proposed using a network of circulating microRNAs to diagnose ovarian carcinoma at a stage earlier than currently possible. More...

RSV Plus Human Metapneumovirus Assay Approved

Viral infections are the most frequent causes of morbidity and mortality due to respiratory dysfunction worldwide, especially in children under five years of age. Several studies have reported the association of Human Metapneumovirus (hMPV) and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) with acute respiratory infection. More...

Image: A Schistosoma japonicum egg in feces (unstained, high power). The eggs of this fluke are smaller than those of S. mansoni and S. haematobium. They are ovoid and have a thin, clear shell and a spine or hook-like structure that may be inconspicuous (Photo courtesy of Florida Gulf Coast University).

Droplet Digital PCR Detects Schistosomiasis DNA in Samples

Schistosoma japonicum is the only human blood fluke that occurs in China and Philippines and also in Sri Lanka. It is the cause of schistosomiasis japonica, a disease that still remains a significant health problem especially in lake and marshland regions. More...

Study Pinpoints Biomarker Signature of MS

Researchers have identified unique dysregulated microRNAs (miRNAs) from exosomes in the blood of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. The findings could lead to development of a simple diagnostic blood test for this debilitating chronic neurologic disease. More...

Genetics Helps Determine Warfarin Dose for Joint Surgery

A five-year study – the Genetics Informatics Trial of Warfarin to Prevent Deep Venous Thrombosis (GIFT) – finds that genetic testing can help determine the safest dose of the blood thinner warfarin, with fewer side effects, for patients undergoing joint replacement surgery. More...
