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...

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...

Genetic Connections Uncovered Between Psychiatric Disorders

Brain disorders may exhibit shared symptoms and substantial epidemiological comorbidity, inciting debate about their etiologic overlap. However, detailed study of phenotypes with different ages of onset, severity, and presentation poses a considerable challenge. More...

Female Bladder Bacteria Reveal Urogenital Microbiota

Contrary to medical dogma, urine is not sterile, even in asymptomatic individuals. For over 60 years, the standard urine culture protocol has represented the primary tool for detecting bacteria in clinical microbiology laboratories. More...

Lipid Species Offer Insights into Metabolic Health

Heart disease is the number one killer in the USA, and high triglyceride levels in the blood are cited as just one of several risk factors. Millions of lipid panels, blood tests that look at cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides, are performed in clinics each year. More...

Image: A bronchial tube, cells stained red and blue are part of the bronchial epithelium, or lining. This demonstrates the existence among these cells of a rare cell type (stained blue-green), believed to be a tuft cell. The scientists have discovered a new type of lung cancer with origins in these cells, which overexpress a gene-regulating protein called POU2F3, a potential target for therapy (Photo courtesy of Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory).

New Genre of Small-Cell Lung Cancer Discovered

Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) is widely considered to be a tumor of pulmonary neuroendocrine cells; however, a variant form of this disease has been described that lacks neuroendocrine features. More...

Simple Test Could Reduce Treatment of Bladder Cancer

Bladder cancer is relatively common and imposes the highest per patient cost on the healthcare system of the USA than the management of any other cancer type. Most bladder cancers are early-stage tumors known as papillary non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC). More...
