Developed Immunoassay Predicts Benefits of Anti-PD-1 Therapy in NSCLC

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, current targeted therapies and immunotherapies have gradually improved patient survival. Anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibodies (Abs) are key drugs in non-small-cell lung cancer treatment; however, clinical benefits with anti-PD-1 monotherapy are limited. More...

Holographic Histopathology Enables Fast, Precise Diagnostics

Microscopic assessment of biopsied and resected tissues is central to understanding the underlying pathophysiology and clinical states of many patients. Because most microscopic specimens are translucent to visible light, conventional histological methods achieve image contrast using exogenous labels. More...

Genetic Background and Clinicopathologic Features Established for Adult-Onset Nephronophthisis

Nephronophthisis (NPH) is a genetic disorder of the kidneys which mainly affects children. It is classified as a medullary cystic kidney disease. The disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion and, although rare, is the most common genetic cause of childhood kidney failure. More...

African-American MS Patients Experience More Rapid B-Cell Repopulation

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a potentially disabling disease of the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system). In MS, the immune system attacks the protective sheath (myelin) that covers nerve fibers and causes communication problems between the brain and the rest of the body. More...

GPS Assay Associated with Long-Term Prostate Cancer Outcomes

Long-term cancer outcomes are an important consideration when deciding between active surveillance (AS) and immediate treatment for newly diagnosed prostate cancer. Multiple prospective AS studies that predominantly include patients at the lowest risk of progression have demonstrated a low risk of distant metastasis (DM) and prostate cancer–specific mortality (PCSM) with extended follow-up.

New Genetic Factors Involved in Sudden Unexpected Death in Children

About 10% of deaths in infants and children occur suddenly and have no apparent cause. Sudden Unexpected Death in Pediatrics (SUDP) encompasses several related phenomena, including Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS), Sudden Unexplained Death in Childhood (SUDC), and Sudden Unexpected Infant Death (SUID).

Altered Perivascular Fibroblast Activity Precedes ALS Disease Onset

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease of the motor neurons that eventually causes muscular atrophy, paralysis and death. There is currently no cure. The cause of ALS is only understood in the 5% to 10% of patients who have an inherited form of the disease. More...
