Immunoassay Monitors Parasite Persistence in Chagas Disease
The Trypanosoma cruzi parasite is the causative agent of Chagas disease, and infects about six million individuals in more than 20 countries. Monitoring parasite persistence in infected individuals is of utmost importance to develop and evaluate treatments to control the disease. More...01 Mar 2018
Novel Saliva-Based PCR Assay Detects HIV Antibodies Earlier
An oral fluid-based test for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) shows promise as a population-based screening tool. According to its developers, the test is easier to collect than blood but yields results that are just as reliable. More...28 Feb 2018
Immune Signature Predicts Asthma Susceptibility
Asthma is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by the interplay of genetics, environmental factors and a diverse cast of immune cells. A subset of T cells has been identified whose frequency serves as early childhood immune signature that predicts the risk of developing asthma later on. More...27 Feb 2018
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
