Telomere Length Test Influences Treatment Decisions
Telomeres protect the ends of DNA and they normally shorten with aging. They are made up of repetitive sequences of DNA, and normal telomeres have enough length to withstand the erosion that occurs over the normal lifespan of a cell. More...13 Mar 2018
Blood Test Helps Identify CV Patients Most at Risk
A new blood test could provide a clue as to why some patients are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease risk after suffering a heart attack, which may help scientists to identify new targets for reducing the risk and eventually lead to more effective treatments. More...19 Feb 2018
Residual Disease in Leukemia Patients Identified by ddPCR
Currently, minimal residual disease for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) patients is typically monitored using real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR), but often leukemic stem cells with the BCR-ABL1 rearrangement are present below the limit of detect of RT-qPCR. More...08 Feb 2018
Tumor Suppressor Gene Variants Identified for Leukemia Patients
Newly identified germline variations in a key tumor suppressor gene predispose individuals to develop leukemia as children and leave them with a 1-in-4 chance of developing a second cancer later. Acute lymphoblastic leukemia is the most common childhood cancer and in most cases, the exact cause is unknown. More...16 Jan 2018
