Click Chip’ Detects Early-Stage Liver Cancer Biomarkers in Extracellular Vesicles
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the fourth most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. The poor prognosis of HCC can be attributed to the fact that diagnosis is often made at a late stage in disease development. More...21 Sep 2020

Novel Rapid Lateral Flow Assay Measures Ovarian Cancer Biomarker CA125
A radically modified lateral flow immunoassay was able to detect the ovarian cancer biomarker glycosylated CA125 in serum samples and rapidly differentiate epithelial ovarian cancer from benign endometriosis and healthy controls. More...21 Sep 2020

Quantitative Agglutination Determined on Automatic Hematology Analyzer
The currently available agglutination identification methods are slide methods and test tube methods. Based on the distribution, uniformity and comprehensive changes of non-aggregated cells and agglutinating cells in the liquid, the agglutination degree and strength can be determined by the naked eye. More...16 Sep 2020

Saliva Test Fast Tracks Heart Attack Diagnosis
Heart attacks need urgent diagnosis, followed by treatment to restore blood flow to blocked arteries. Diagnosis is based on symptoms (such as chest pain), an electrocardiogram (ECG) and a blood test for cardiac troponin, a protein released into the blood when the heart muscle is injured. More...07 Sep 2020


Streamlined Method for Telomere Length Measurement Opens New Cancer Diagnostic Opportunities
In a novel approach to cancer diagnosis, researchers have developed a high-throughput digital real-time PCR method for rapidly measuring the absolute lengths and quantities of individual telomere molecules. More...01 Sep 2020
