Emerging Blood-Borne Bacteria Found in Blood Donors
Bartonella species cause chronic and intermittent intra-erythrocytic bacteremia and infect endothelial cells of both incidental and natural reservoir hosts. The establishment of chronic, stealth infection is achieved by evasion of innate immune responses. More...04 Apr 2016
Zika Virus Inactivated in Plasma for Transfusion
The potential for Zika virus transmission through blood transfusion has been demonstrated during the French Polynesian outbreak as 2.8% of blood donors, who were asymptomatic at the time of donation, were found positive for acute ZIKV infection using specific reverse transcription–polymerase chain reaction.

Immune Cells Adapt Inefficiently in Patients with Uncontrolled HIV
Antibodies derived from a type of immune cell found in unusually high numbers in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals with chronically uncontrolled virus levels are less effective at neutralizing HIV than antibodies derived from a different type of immune cell more common in people without HIV.

Early Stage Breast Cancer Recurrence Linked to High Leukocyte Ratio
A high ratio of two types of immune system cell is linked to an increased risk of disease recurrence after a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer and the findings might guide future treatment and monitoring strategies, if prospective studies confirm the link. More...23 Mar 2016
Age Should Be Considered in Developing Diagnostic Assays
In a new study on breast cancer, blood test results have demonstrated age-related differences in Tumor-Associated Antibodies, showing for the first time age-related differences that should be taken into consideration when developing diagnostic tests. More...23 Mar 2016
Fibrin Network Changes in Neonates After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Quantitative and qualitative differences in the hemostatic systems exist between neonates and adults, including the presence of “fetal” fibrinogen, a qualitatively dysfunctional form of fibrinogen that exists until one year of age. More...22 Mar 2016
