New Osteoarthritis Genes Discovered
Almost nine million people in the UK suffer from osteoarthritis, a degenerative joint disease in which a person's joints become damaged, stop moving freely and become painful. Osteoarthritis is the most prevalent musculoskeletal disease and a leading cause of disability worldwide. More...04 Apr 2018
Urinary Gene-Based Test Detects Bladder Cancer
Predominantly of urothelial histology, invasive bladder cancer (BC) arises from non-invasive papillary or flat precursors, and many BC patients suffer multiple relapses prior to progression, providing ample lead-time for early detection and treatment prior to metastasis. More...03 Apr 2018
Cervical Fluid Test Developed for Gynecological Cancers
Together, endometrial and ovarian cancers account for about 25,000 deaths each year and are the third leading cause of cancer-related mortality in women in the USA. Most of these deaths are caused by high-grade tumor subtypes, which tend to metastasize before the onset of symptoms. More...03 Apr 2018
New Fingerprint Assay Accurately Identifies Users of Heroin and Cocaine
A test protocol based on liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis accurately detects levels of illegal drugs in a single fingerprint from drug users while eliminating those who had only passive contact with a drug user. More...02 Apr 2018
Chromosome Interaction Profiling Reveals Cancer Risk Genes
Breast cancer is a heterogeneous disease with two main subtypes defined by the presence (ER+) or absence (ER−) of the estrogen receptor. Approximately 80% of newly diagnosed breast cancers are ER+ although this proportion varies with age at diagnosis and ethnicity. More...29 Mar 2018
Circulating Blood Markers Identified for Abnormal Heart Rhythms
The irregular heart rhythm atrial fibrillation (AF) increases the risk of stroke and heart failure, but is often undiagnosed because of a lack of symptoms. AF increases the risk of developing strokes, heart failure, and even dementia. More...29 Mar 2018
