Antibody-Based ELISA Detects Zika with High Specificity

A recently developed human monoclonal antibody-based assay is highly effective in detecting both recent and past Zika virus (ZIKV) infections and in discriminating Zika from other flavivirus infections. More...

Novel Non-Invasive Sampling Technique Diagnoses Cutaneous Leishmaniasis

The definitive diagnosis of cutaneous leishmaniasis requires parasitological detection and it is usually based on direct detection of amastigotes in smears from lesions by microscopy and by the culturing of promastigotes from infected tissues. More...

RT-PCR Evaluated for Taenia Detection

Taenia solium, the pork tapeworm, and the cause of neurocysticercosis (NCC), has significant socioeconomic impacts on communities in developing countries. This disease, along with taeniasis is estimated to infect 2.5 to five million people globally. More...

Bacterium Actively Drives CRC Tumor Growth

Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a leading cause of cancer-related death. The recognition that microbial agents can contribute to the development of CRC raises hope for improving CRC diagnosis and treatment by incorporating both microbial and patient characteristics into clinical strategies. More...

Specific MicroRNA Identifies Glioblastoma Subtypes

Glioblastoma multiforme (GBM), an extremely aggressive brain cancer, is a very complex disease. It is characterized by a fast-growing tumor in the brain composed of many subpopulations of cells, including glioblastoma stem cells, which play a crucial role in glioblastoma initiation, expansion and therapy-resistance.

MicroRNA Technology Proves Useful for Liver Toxicity Detection

A single probe method has been developed for detecting microRNA from human serum using single molecule arrays, with sequence specificity down to a single base, and without the use of amplification by polymerases. More...

Genomic Variants Contribute to Cognitive Impairment

Genetic alterations of rare deletions or duplications of small DNA segments, called copy number variants (CNVs), have been known to increase risk of neurodevelopmental disorders such as schizophrenia, autism spectrum disorder, and intellectual disability. More...
