New Test Accurately Detects Latent HIV
The ability of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) to lie dormant in a "reservoir" of CD4 cells has been the main obstacle to finding a cure; once a patient starts antiretroviral therapy, it becomes very important to measure the level of viremia, and whether the virus can replicate.

Immune System Changes Signal Early Brain Cancer
Glioma is a heterogeneous primary malignant brain tumor with a median survival time, for the most common adult subtype, glioblastoma, of only 14 months. Changes in immune activity appear to signal a growing brain tumor five years before symptoms arise. More...14 Jun 2017
Vitamin D Assays Compared and Harmonized
There are a variety of assay techniques available to measure of 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) concentrations and some have the ability to measure the two forms 25(OH)D2 and 25(OH)D3. However, there are significant discrepancies between procedures used to estimate vitamin D status. More...06 Jun 2017
Heterogeneity Influences Cancer Immunohistochemistry Results
Many gastric cancer (GC) patients are with inoperable lesions and endoscopic biopsy becomes the only available approach to obtain tumor tissues for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assessment. Unlike resected specimens, biopsy specimens are influenced by many factors and in turn more difficult to manipulate. More...06 Jun 2017
