Heterogeneous Populations of Melanoma Circulating Tumor Cells Detected
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be assessed through a minimally invasive blood sample with potential utility as a predictive, prognostic and pharmacodynamic biomarker. The large heterogeneity of melanoma CTCs has hindered their detection and clinical application. More...02 Mar 2020

Severe Strongyloidiasis Infection Reported in Kidney Transplant Recipients
Strongyloides stercoralis is a soil-transmitted human pathogenic parasitic roundworm causing the disease strongyloidiasis. It is found in tropical and subtropical regions worldwide. Many people infected are asymptomatic at first. Symptoms include dermatitis: swelling, itching, larva currens, and mild hemorrhage at the site where the skin has been penetrated. More...25 Feb 2020

Proteogenomic Characterization of Endometrial Carcinoma Analyzed
Endometrial cancer is a cancer that arises from the endometrium which is the lining of the uterus or womb. It is the result of the abnormal growth of cells that have the ability to invade or spread to other parts of the body. More...24 Feb 2020

All-Digital Histopathology Attained by Infrared-Optical Hybrid Microscopy
The gold standard of tissue pathology is to add dyes or stains so that pathologists can see the shapes and patterns of the cells under a microscope. However, it can be difficult to distinguish cancer from healthy tissue or to pinpoint the boundaries of a tumor, and in many cases diagnosis is subjective. More...24 Feb 2020


Lung Adenocarcinoma Genomic Features Differ in East Asians, Europeans
Lung adenocarcinoma is a subtype of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Lung adenocarcinoma is categorized as such by how the cancer cells look under a microscope. Lung adenocarcinoma starts in glandular cells, which secrete substances such as mucus, and tends to develop in smaller airways, such as alveoli. More...18 Feb 2020
