New Blood Test Marks Progress in Battle Against Sepsis

 Sepsis is a serious condition in which the immune system launches an overwhelming response to infection. The cause of the infection can be any type of microbe, including fungi, bacteria, and viruses, but usually, it is bacteria. More...

Longitudinal Molecular Trajectories of Adult Diffuse Glioma Examined

 Until relatively recently, cancer was viewed as a single disease with sub-types based on where in the body it arose. The advent of detailed molecular analysis has shown that the situation is far more complicated, however, and that there can be many sub-clonal cell populations even within a single tumor. More...

New Biomarker Discovered for Cancer Stem Cells

 Tumors often contain a small subset of drug-resisting, self-renewing, and highly metastatic cells called tumor initiating cells or cancer stem cells (CSCs). These cells can self-renew, divide asymmetrically, and form tumors in isolation. More...

Mycobacterium Infection Found in Gastric Patients’ Stomachs

 Development of gastric diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer is often associated with several biotic and abiotic factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is such a well-known biotic factor. However, not all H. pylori-infected individuals develop gastric diseases and not all individuals with gastric diseases are infected with H. pylori. More...

Novel, High-Accuracy Blood Test Can Screen for Multiple Cancers

 A new targeted methylation-based assay has been developed that is able to screen blood samples for more than 20 types of cancer at all stages, including lung cancer, with high accuracy and it also correctly pinpoints the tissue of origin (TOO). More...

Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics

 Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...

Second Malignancy Risk Higher for Some Leukemia Survivors

 Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia diagnosis in adults, with favorable outcomes in majority of patients and a 5-year survival of around 85%. A large proportion of CLL patients may never require treatment, requiring only ongoing surveillance. More...
