Fecal Immunochemical Tubes Sourced to Analyze Gut Microbiome for CRC
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is a challenging public health problem which successful treatment depends on the stage at diagnosis. Recently, CRC-specific microbiome signatures have been proposed as a marker for CRC detection. More...14 Oct 2021
Unique Gene Detects Mycobacterium Tuberculosis in Clinical Sputum
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common infectious disease caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB). The main organ infected by MTB is the lung, but many other tissues or organs can be affected, such as the bone and pleura. Two million people die of MTB infection each year due to poor quality of life and lack of awareness. More...13 Oct 2021
