Anemia is a common and sometimes deadly complication of malaria infections (Photo courtesy of Centers of Disease Control and Prevention/Dr. Greene).

Immune Cells Linked to Malaria-Induced Anemia Through Autoantibody Production

 Malaria is still a major global health threat with over 200 million new infections and around 400,000 deaths per year. Anemia is a common complication associated with malaria that contributes significantly to the great morbidity and mortality associated with the disease. More...

Innovative Blood Test Aids Early Detection of Breast Cancer

 A blood test is being developed that could help detect breast cancer five years before any symptoms become apparent. This method would also be less uncomfortable and more cost effective than traditional mammograms. More...

Automated Immunoassay Systems Evaluated for KL‐6 Antigen Quantification

Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of diseases characterized by various forms of pulmonary interstitial inflammation and fibrosis, which are usually chronic, progressive, and fatal, causing death 2‐5 years after diagnosis in most patients. More...
