Super-Resolution Microscopy Improves Platelet Granule Disorder Diagnosis

Platelets or thrombocytes form part of the blood, help heal wounds, and prevent bleeding by forming blood clots and they do this through tiny granules that release molecules for blood clotting.   More...

Blood Test Improves Treatment for Acute Myeloid Leukemia

A simple blood test has been developed that is capable of detecting trace levels of leukemia cells remaining after intensive chemotherapy. The test can predict which patients with acute myeloid leukemia are at risk of their cancer returning in the future, helping to guide doctors on what further treatment is needed.   More...

Fungal Infection Identified by Pathogen Detection Array Technology

Patients who are undergoing treatment for diseases such as cancer often face the added challenge of a compromised immune system, which can be challenging to both of their condition and the drugs used to treat it, leaving them vulnerable to various opportunistic infections.  More...

Nonradioactive Serotonin Release Assay Compared to Gold Standard

The serotonin release assay is considered the gold standard laboratory test for heparin-induced thrombocytopenia and the classical SRA method uses platelets loaded with radiolabeled serotonin to evaluate platelet activation by HIT immune complexes.  More...

Early and Accurate Prediction of Leukemia Made Possible

Acute myeloid leukemia is the most common type of leukemia in adults and recent studies demonstrate that early and accurate prediction of this aggressive cancer is possible how it will develop in individuals.  More...
