Ebola Test with Portable Reader Authorized for Emergency Use
Ebola is a rare but deadly virus that causes fever, body aches, and diarrhea, and sometimes bleeding inside and outside the body. As the virus spreads through the body, it damages the immune system and organs. Ultimately, it causes levels of blood-clotting cells to drop. This leads to severe, uncontrollable bleeding and kills up to 90% of people infected. More...26 Nov 2018

Highly Sensitive Immunoassay Detects Malarial Histidine-Rich Protein 2
Malaria is a vector-borne disease of major public health relevance worldwide. The detection of submicroscopic infections in low prevalence settings has become an increasingly important challenge for malaria elimination strategies. More...15 Nov 2018
Biomarkers May Predict Zika-Related Birth Defects
To date, approximately 800,000 cases of suspected and confirmed autochthonous Zika virus (ZIKV) infections have been reported in the Americas. Most people infected with the Zika virus experience no symptoms or mild illness with low-grade fever. More...13 Nov 2018
Dormant Disseminated Tumor Cells Stratified in Breast Cancer Patients
Breast cancer patients may experience relapse and subsequent death from the disease many years after primary treatment. This indicates an ability of occult cancer cells to survive in a non- or slow-proliferating state, retaining a potential for progression and proliferation at a later time point. More...30 Oct 2018
Stomach Cancer Bacterium Increases Colorectal Cancer Risk
A bacterium known for causing stomach cancer might also increase the risk of certain colorectal cancers, particularly among African Americans. An association of the bacteria Helicobacter pylori, the primary cause of gastric cancer, and risk of colorectal cancer (CRC) have been reported. More...24 Oct 2018
