Electronic Nose Technology May Facilitate Accurate Diagnosis of Sarcoidosis
Sarcoidosis is a granulomatous inflammatory disease without a known cause that can affect roughly any organ. The lungs are involved in the vast majority of patients (89% to 99%). Diagnosis can be challenging because no standardized diagnostic procedure exists. The three major criteria for diagnosis are compatible clinical features, pathology tissue assessment, and exclusion of other granulomatous diagnoses. More...12 Apr 2022
New Fluorescent DNA Label Reveals Nanoscopic Cancer Features
Researchers have developed a new fluorescent label that gives a clearer picture of how DNA architecture is disrupted in cancer cells. The findings could improve cancer diagnoses for patients and classification of future cancer risk. More...15 Mar 2022
Clinical Application of Leukocyte Counts Based on Targeted DNA Methylation Analysis (
Differential leukocyte counts are usually measured based on cellular morphology or surface marker expression. It has recently been shown that leukocyte counts can also be determined by cell-type–specific DNA methylation (DNAm). Such epigenetic leukocyte counting is applicable to small blood volumes and even frozen material, but for clinical translation, the method needs to be further refined and validated.
