Predatory Bacteria Found in Lung Microbiome of CF Patient
The natural evolution of cystic fibrosis (CF) is a progressive decline in lung function caused by a vicious circle of inflammation and tissue destruction, which is triggered and maintained by the chronic bacterial colonization of the lower respiratory tract. More...10 Oct 2017
Biomarkers of Sickle Cell and Hemoglobin SC Compared
Sickle cell disease (SCD) is a group of inherited diseases that includes sickle cell anemia (SCA), which is the homozygous state of the beta S (βS) allele and the most severe SCD genotype. The heterozygous state of the βS allele is characterized by the presence of hemoglobin S (HbS) and is associated with a group of less severe SCD, including hemoglobin SC disease (HbSC). More...10 Oct 2017
Pre-Op Test Can Detect Some Pancreatic Cancers
A newly developed genetic test was highly sensitive at determining which pancreatic cysts are most likely to be associated with one of the most aggressive types of pancreatic cancer. The successful results are a critical step toward a precision medicine approach to detecting and treating pancreatic cancer. More...09 Oct 2017
Blood Test Predicts Patient Response to Immunotherapy
In a first-of-its-kind study in the field, researchers found that testing blood-based liquid biopsy samples for genomic mutations in circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) could help reveal which patients would likely respond to checkpoint inhibitor-based immunotherapies (CIIs). More...09 Oct 2017
Genetic Test Discovered for Predicting Cancer Recurrence
Treatment failure, due to drug resistance, still remains a major obstacle for more effective anti-cancer therapy and personalized medicine. In estrogen-receptor-positive (ER (+)) breast cancer, approximately 40% to 50% of patients eventually develop tamoxifen-resistance. More...04 Oct 2017
