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...07 Nov 2017
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...06 Nov 2017
Single-Cell Diagnostics Advocated for Breast Cancer Subtyping
In an opinion article based their analysis of studies, two medical researchers argue that women diagnosed with breast cancer (BC) would likely benefit from treatment based also on identifying the molecular subtype of different cells within their tumors, in addition to current molecular and histopathology testing of collections of tumor cells.

Zika Virus Persists Longer in Cutaneous Capillary Blood
Zika virus disease is caused by a virus transmitted primarily by Aedes mosquitoes. People with Zika virus disease can have symptoms including mild fever, skin rash, conjunctivitis, muscle and joint pain, malaise or headache. More...02 Nov 2017
Genetic Mutation Linked to New Form of Diabetes
Finding the genetic cause of rare familial diabetes (monogenic diabetes) provides new biological insights into human pancreas development and function, as well as potentially novel therapeutic targets with important treatment implications. More...02 Nov 2017
Viral Marker Predicts Flu Severity in Infected Patients
Influenza A viruses are the causative agents of annual epidemics, sporadic zoonotic outbreaks and occasionally pandemics. Worldwide, acute respiratory infections caused by influenza A viruses continue to be one of the main causes of acute illness and death. More...01 Nov 2017
