Molecular Differences Discovered Among Ovarian Cancer Subgroups
Ovarian cancer is a highly diverse disease with a high rate of overall mortality. High-grade serous ovarian cancer (HGSC) is the most common and aggressive type of epithelial ovarian cancer, exhibiting high levels of tumor heterogeneity and variable clinical outcomes. More...28 Apr 2020

Urea Dissociation Tests Reduces SARS-CoV-2 IgM False-Positives
At present, the diagnosis of COVID-19 is mainly based on epidemiological history inquiry, laboratory testing, and chest radiology examination. Among these examinations, the detection of nucleic acid from SARS-CoV-2 is the direct evidence for COVID-19 diagnosis. More...28 Apr 2020


Biomarker Panel Evaluated for Primary Hyperoxaluria Patients
Primary hyperoxaluria (PH) is a group of autosomal recessive disorders characterized by recurrent urinary stones and nephrocalcinosis. Roughly half of PH patients present with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD) at the time of diagnosis. More...27 Apr 2020

Functional Comparison of Different Tubes for Isolating Mononuclear Cells
Profiling of immune cells with single-cell technologies is a key component of both basic science studies, evaluation of therapeutics in clinical trials, and clinical care. Cryopreserved human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) are a commonly used sample type for a variety of immunological assays. More...23 Apr 2020

Missing BAP1 Gene Associated with Immunosuppressive Molecules in Uveal Melanoma
Uveal melanoma is a cancer (melanoma) of the eye involving the iris, ciliary body, or choroid (collectively referred to as the uvea). Tumors arise from the pigment cells (melanocytes) that reside within the uvea and give color to the eye. More...22 Apr 2020

Commercial Kits Evaluated for Mediterranean Visceral Leishmaniasis
Human visceral leishmaniasis (VL) is a neglected disease endemic in the Mediterranean region, caused by Leishmania infantum. Accurate VL diagnosis is critical for rapid and correct patient management. Dogs are the main reservoir of L. infantum parasites that are transmitted to humans by the bite of infected phlebotomine sand flies. More...16 Apr 2020
