Urinary VEGFA and Renal Pathology Evaluated for IgA Nephropathy Patients
Immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (IgAN) is the most common primary glomerulonephritis and is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in China. Renal biopsy remains the golden standard for diagnosing and monitoring IgA nephropathy (IgAN). More...25 Sep 2021
Certest Offers Real-Time PCR Assays for Fast Detection of MDR Bacterial Infections
CerTest Biotec (Zaragoza, Spain; www.certest.es) has joined the fight against multidrug resistant strains (MDR) bacterial infections by developing real-time PCR assays for the fast detection of genes or punctual mutations that confer resistance to antibiotics from both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens. More...23 Sep 2021


Blood Testing Distinguishes Benign Tumors from Precancerous Condition
The leading cause of mortality for patients with the neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) cancer predisposition syndrome is the development of malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor (MPNST), an aggressive soft tissue sarcoma. In the setting of NF1, this cancer type frequently arises from within its common and benign precursor, plexiform neurofibroma (PN). More...15 Sep 2021

CCN1 Analyzed as a Biomarker for Breast Cancer Detection
Breast cancer is the most frequent malignancy in women with 1.7 million new cases and over 500,000 deaths worldwide in 2016. Early detection of cancer is believed to be crucial in reducing cancer death. Despite recent progress in liquid biopsy technologies, early blood-based detection of breast cancer is still a challenge. More...14 Sep 2021

Liquid Biopsy Assay Evaluated for Early Detection of Gastric Cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is the fourth most-commonly diagnosed cancer, and the third leading cause of cancer-associated mortality worldwide. Despite improvements in treatment modalities, the prognosis for advanced GC following curative resection remains poor. More...08 Sep 2021

PD-L1 Expression in Circulating Tumor Cells Investigated for NSCLC
In non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), analysis of programmed cell death ligand 1 (PD-L1) expression in circulating tumor cells (CTCs) is a potential alternative to overcome the problems linked to the tumor biopsy spatiotemporal heterogeneity. However, the prognostic significance of PD-L1-positive [PD-L1(+)] CTCs remains controversial. More...07 Sep 2021
