Novel Fecal Calprotectin Test Validated in Pediatric Population
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) are increasingly prevalent disorders with overlapping clinical presentations. Distinguishing between these two classes of disease is important, as while IBS is an idiopathic functional disorder, IBD is characterized by chronic inflammation and tissue destruction.

Antibodies Against Rabies Detected in Human Dried Blood Spots
Rabies is a viral disease that causes inflammation of the brain in humans and other mammals. Early symptoms can include fever and tingling at the site of exposure. Although preventable by vaccination for more than a century, rabies virus still causes numerous fatalities every year. More...03 Nov 2020

Inherited Causes of Clonal Hematopoiesis in Multiplicity of Whole Genomes
The age-related acquisition of somatic mutations that lead to clonal expansion in regenerating hematopoietic stem cell populations has recently been associated with both hematological cancer and coronary heart disease, and this phenomenon is termed clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP). More...29 Oct 2020

Novel Method Reclaims Resolution of Single-Cell RNA-Seq
Single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) is a powerful tool to characterize cells. Current scRNA-seq platforms, despite offering high throughput, are inefficient and provide low resolution among distinct cell states and molecular features. More...28 Oct 2020


New Diagnostic Tests for Rotavirus and Norovirus Infections Evaluated
Acute gastroenteritis is one of the most impactful and common infectious diseases, accounting for millions of deaths annually in young children. Rotavirus and norovirus are leading causes of acute viral gastroenteritis spread through fecal to oral transmission. More...21 Oct 2020
