Sequencing Enables Precise Match for Blood Transfusions
There are more than 300 known red blood cell (RBC) antigens and 33 platelet antigens that differ between individuals. Sensitization to antigens is a serious complication that can occur in prenatal medicine and after blood transfusion, particularly for patients who require multiple transfusions. More...30 May 2018
Early Sepsis Indicator Alerts Emergency Department Clinicians
Sepsis is an often-deadly condition that affects 26 million people worldwide every year and is increasing at a rate of 1.5% annually. Timely and accurate detection solutions in the acute-care setting are key components to stopping the progression of sepsis, as patients with less severe sepsis can progress to severe sepsis or septic shock within 72 hours.

Chip-Based Blood Test Developed for Multiple Myeloma
The diagnosis of multiple myeloma, a cancer affecting plasma cells, traditionally forces patients to suffer through a painful bone biopsy. Doctors insert a bone-biopsy needle through an incision to get a bone marrow sample or make a larger incision and remove a section of bone via surgery. More...03 May 2018
Smartphone Microscopes Transformed into Lab Devices
Mobile phones have facilitated the creation of field-portable, cost-effective imaging and sensing technologies that approach laboratory-grade instrument performance. However, the optical imaging interfaces of mobile phones are not designed for microscopy and produce distortions in imaging microscopic specimens. More...25 Apr 2018
Flow Cytometry Technique Assessed for Signaling Pathways
Platelet aggregation is a key parameter in arterial thrombosis, leading to myocardial infarction or ischemic stroke. Platelets have several receptors sensitive to different stimuli and drugs that modulate aggregation with potential critical clinico-pathological significance. More...24 Apr 2018
