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

Cancer-Associated T Cell Receptors Evaluated for Malignancy Detection
A key goal in oncology is diagnosing cancer early, when it is more treatable. Despite decades of progress, early diagnosis of asymptomatic patients remains a major challenge. Most methods for this involve detecting cancer cells, but a different approach, focused on the body’s immune response. More...31 Aug 2020

New Pooling Strategy Increases Efficiency and Reduces Cost of COVID-19 PCR Tests
A new way of manipulating samples for COVID-19 testing of asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals provides both an eight-fold increase in testing efficiency, as well as an eight-fold reduction in test costs. More...31 Aug 2020

Microfluidic Device Explores Ovarian Cancer Interactions
In many cancers, platelet interactions with circulating tumor cells and their role in metastasis have been studied extensively. In ovarian cancer, platelet extravasation into the tumor and resulting metastasis is thought to be regulated mostly by the vascular endothelium. More...26 Aug 2020

Nanoparticle System Captures Heart-Disease Biomarker From Blood
Physicians currently use an antibody-based test called enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to help diagnose heart attacks based on elevated levels of cardiac troponin I (cTnI) in the patient's blood sample. While the ELISA test is sensitive, patients can have high levels of cTnI in the blood without having heart disease, which can lead to expensive and unnecessary treatments for patients. More...20 Aug 2020
