Jagged Ends of Urinary Cell-Free DNA Assessed in Bladder Cancer Detection
Bladder cancer is where a growth of abnormal tissue, known as a tumor, develops in the bladder lining. In some cases, the tumor spreads into the bladder muscle. The most common symptom of bladder cancer is blood in the urine, which is usually painless. More...24 May 2021

Loss of Function Mutations in GEMIN5 Cause a Neurodevelopmental Disorder
GEMIN5, an RNA-binding protein is essential for assembly of the survival motor neuron (SMN) protein complex and facilitates the formation of small nuclear ribonucleoproteins (snRNPs), the building blocks of spliceosomes. More...20 May 2021

Human Microbiota Flagellins Drive Adaptive Immune Responses in Crohn’s Disease
Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, another type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), are characterized by dysregulated adaptive immune responses to the microbiota in genetically susceptible individuals, but the human specificity of these responses had so far been largely undefined. More...20 May 2021

Rapid, Direct-to-Digital Prostate Biopsy Pathology Evaluated
Increasing adoption of digital pathology promises marked improvements in reproducibility, efficiency, and accuracy of tissue-based diagnostics by facilitating routine remote expert consultation and enabling computerized image analysis for clinical use. More...13 May 2021

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...12 May 2021

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...10 May 2021

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...06 May 2021
