Molecular Test Adapted for Parkinson’s and DLB
Parkinson’s disease (PD), multiple system atrophy (MSA), dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) (or Lewy body dementia) are called α-synucleinopathies due to the abnormal accumulation of aggregates of a protein called α-synuclein (αSyn) in the brain. More...20 Feb 2018
Colorectal Cancer Immunohistochemistry Panel Launched
The global burden of colorectal cancer is expected to increase by 60% to more than 2.2 million new cases and 1.1 million deaths by 2030. Increasingly, guidelines are recommending universal screening of all newly diagnosed colorectal cancers for Lynch syndrome. More...13 Feb 2018
CTC Blood Test Detects Early Stage Colorectal Cancer
Colorectal cancer is among the most preventable cancers when detected early. Yet, it is the second leading cancer killer in the USA. Traditional methods like colonoscopies and stool-based tests are invasive or inconvenient and compliance with colorectal cancer screening remains low, leading to most colorectal cancers being detected in late stages, when survival rates are poor. More...13 Feb 2018
Key Mechanism of Autoimmune and Inflammatory Diseases Revealed
The prevalence of psoriasis, rheumatoid arthritis, inflammatory bowel diseases, and multiple sclerosis, has been rapidly expanding over the last few decades. A crucial aspect of the molecular basis of these autoimmune and inflammatory has been unraveled. More...01 Feb 2018
Immune Response Tests Enable Rapid Antibiotic Decisions
A novel test uses quantitative multiplex gene expression to analyze a patient's immune system, or the host response, rather than looking for the presence of a pathogen that indicates whether there is an infection in the blood. More...31 Jan 2018
Cellular Mechanism Identified for Severe Viral Hepatitis
It is known that activated immune cells of patients with viral hepatitis destroy hepatocyte, but its regulatory mechanism has not yet been described. Regulatory T cells (Tregs) inhibit activation of other immune cells and thus are important for homeostasis of the immune system. More...29 Jan 2018
