New Antibody Improves Diagnosis of Myeloproliferative Neoplasms
When hematopoietic myeloid cells change malignantly in the bone marrow, this can lead to an uncontrolled proliferation of certain blood cells and humans then suffer from diseases that are referred to by the collective term myeloproliferative neoplasms. More...14 Oct 2015
Dengue Diagnosis Tested in Urine and Saliva Specimens
Dengue is the most important arthropod-borne disease affecting humans, representing a huge public health burden in affected countries. Symptoms are often nonspecific, hence the need for an early, sensitive, and specific diagnosis of dengue for appropriate management. More...13 Oct 2015


Arterial Blood Liquid Biopsy Detects Circulating Melanoma Cells
Venous blood collection is simple and minimally invasive, and this approach has made circulating tumor cells testing readily available to many cancer patients. The major drawback is the fact that CTCs are not always detectable for patients with clinically evident metastatic disease. More...06 Oct 2015

Peroxidase Mimic Outperforms Natural Horseradish Peroxidase in ELISA Test
A test-of-concept study demonstrated that a synthetic catalyst that mimics the action of horseradish peroxidase could increase the sensitivity of a colorimetric enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay for human prostate surface antigen by more than 110-fold. More...29 Sep 2015
