Multiplex Immunoassays Enable Quantification of Malaria Antigens
The standard of care for malaria diagnosis is blood smear microscopy and antigen detection through rapid diagnostic test (RDT). Microscopy has limitations in terms of difficulty in identifying mixed infections and RDTs are more amenable for the diagnosis of malaria in settings with limited laboratory infrastructure.

Novel Microfilarial Antigen Diagnoses Lymphatic Filariasis Infections
Lymphatic filariasis is a neglected tropical disease caused by the filarial nematodes Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi and Brugia timori. Lymphatic filariasis (LF) is a deforming and disabling disease caused by parasitic nematodes that are transmitted by mosquitoes. More...08 Jun 2022
Diagnostic Solution Identifies Sepsis Causing Microorganisms and Predicts Antibiotic Resistance in 90 Minutes
A new in-vitro diagnostic solution for microbial infections identifies the pathogen(s) as well as allows to identify and predict the resistance profile within 90 minutes to ensure that the appropriate anti-infective treatment can be adapted or administered quickly, reducing the risk of death in severe systemic infections.

New Staining Method for Electron Microscope Specimens Safer and Cost-Effective
Researchers have developed a new staining method for electron microscope specimens based on double staining with hematoxylin, which is widely used as a staining agent for light microscopy, and lead solution. More...06 Jun 2022
Allogeneic Stem Cell Transplants Improve Microbiome, Immune Cells
Past studies have suggested ties between microbial diversity and favorable allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HCT) outcomes, or transplants involving stem cells from healthy donors. The interactions between the gut microbial community and the immune system can influence an individual's response to a bone marrow transplant to treat leukemia, lymphoma, multiple myeloma, and other blood conditions.
