Fifth-Generation Cardiac Troponin Assays Compared
Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and cardiac troponin T (cTnT) are highly specific biomarkers of myocardial injury. The 99th percentile upper reference limit (URL) of a normal reference population is the recommended threshold which defines an increased cTnI or cTnT plasma concentration indicative for myocardial injury.

Immunochromatographic Test Rapidly Diagnoses Parasitic Infection
The rat lungworm Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a food-borne zoonotic parasite that causes eosinophilic meningitis in humans. Suspected cases of A. cantonensis infection can only be confirmed by finding the nematodes in cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) of the patients. More...15 Aug 2018
Epigenetic Diagnostic Tool Detects Diseases in Newborns
Newborns are routinely screened for inheritable diseases by analyzing dried blood spots (DBS) from blood taken from a heel-prick. Among the more than 300 known primary immune deficiencies (PIDs), only Severe Combined Immunodeficiencies (SCID) are detected at birth with the current technology used to analyze the DBS. More...13 Aug 2018
Melanoma Biomarkers Predict Checkpoint Blocker Response
The outlook for patients with advanced melanoma has dramatically improved in recent years because of drugs known as immune checkpoint inhibitors, which mobilize the immune system to attack cancer. These drugs block checkpoint molecules that act as brakes on the immune system and unleash immune defenders such as T cells to recognize and attack cancer. More...02 Aug 2018
Homogeneous BTK Occupancy Assay Developed
Bruton’s tyrosine kinase (BTK), a member of the tyrosine kinase expressed in the hepatocellular carcinoma (TEC) family of cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinases, was initially identified as the pathogenic protein in X-linked agammaglobulinemia, a human primary immune deficiency disease.
