Prion Protein Found in Skin of CJD Patients
Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) is an incurable, and ultimately fatal, transmissible, neurodegenerative disorder in the family of prion diseases. Prion diseases originate when normally harmless prion protein molecules become abnormal and gather in clusters and filaments in the human body and brain. More...07 Dec 2017
Simple Test Helps CF Patients Find Best Treatment
Individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) suffer from abnormal secretions in multiple tissues, including the lungs, pancreas, liver, and intestine, leading to mucus stasis and obstruction. Several cutting-edge treatments have become available in recent years to correct the debilitating chronic lung congestion associated with CF. More...06 Dec 2017
Diagnostic Test Identified for Pediatric Biliary Atresia
Biliary atresia is a rare disease of the liver and bile ducts that occurs in infants. Liver cells produce bile, which helps digest fat and carries waste products from the liver to the intestines. When an infant has biliary atresia, this flow is blocked and bile becomes trapped inside the liver, quickly causing liver damage and eventually liver failure. More...05 Dec 2017
CSF Analyzed in Lung Cancer with Brain Metastases
The analysis of mutations in cerebrospinal fluid of lung cancer patients with brain metastases has been explored. Tumor tissue from brain metastasis is difficult to obtain and therefore less invasive methods are needed to identify and monitor the presence of known actionable mutations. More...29 Nov 2017
Low Testosterone Men Less Likely to Have Prostate Cancer
Prostate cancer affects more than 170,000 men each year in the USA, of who almost 30,000 die from the disease. While it is not yet known what causes the condition, a number of risk factors have been identified, such as age, ethnicity, and genetic mutations. More...24 Nov 2017
Immunoassay Quantifies Cancer Cell Loss During Treatment
The quantification of cell loss in breast cancer during neoadjuvant treatment (NACT) can be assessed by serum thymidine kinase protein concentrations (sTK1). TK1 has a key function in DNA synthesis and repair responsible for maintaining the nucleoid pool balance by salvage and recycle thymidine from extracellular sources. More...21 Nov 2017
