Rapid Assay Identifies Genetic Mutations Associated with NSCLC

A rapid blood-based diagnostic assay is now available to identify genetic mutations associated with non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), which is the first step in establishing personalized treatment for the patient. More...

Biomarker Identified for Aggressive Early Stage Cancer

Breast cancer begins as anomalous cells that divide out of control, usually in the milk ducts and in almost all cases, a patient does not succumb to the initial cancer but to the secondary tumors after the cancer has spread. More...

Blood Test Could Detect Abusive Head Trauma in Infants

A blood test has been developed and refined that could help clinicians identify infants who may have had bleeding of the brain as a result of abusive head trauma, sometimes referred to as shaken baby syndrome. More...

Sensitive NA Detection Aids Pathogen Diagnoses

Rapid, inexpensive, and sensitive nucleic acid detection may aid point-of-care pathogen detection, genotyping, and disease monitoring, and can be used to diagnose infections, such as Zika and dengue, with a high level of sensitivity. More...

Detecting Cancer as DNA Changes Could Enhance Diagnosis

DNA methylation is an epigenetic modification involving the addition of a methyl group to DNA, which is heavily involved in gene expression and regulation, thereby critical to the progression of diseases such as cancer. More...

Cytology Test for Pre-Cancer Diagnosis Receives FDA Approval

A cytology test, which is the only clinically validated cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (p16) biomarker test that, when used in conjunction with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining, helps pathologists determine which women should receive treatment for cervical pre-cancer. More...

Bacterial Panel Detects Stool Pathogens from Swabs

Repeated bouts of diarrhea and persistent diarrheal disease disrupt intestinal function and absorption, making diarrheal disease a leading cause of malnutrition in children less than 5 years of age. Importantly, diarrheal disease is both treatable when correctly diagnosed and preventable via proper infection control measures. More...
