Novel Technique Captures Plasma Cells from Myeloma Patients
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are white blood cells produced in bone marrow that churn out antibodies to help fight infection. When plasma cells become cancerous, they produce abnormal proteins, and the cells can build up in bone marrow, ultimately seeping into the bloodstream. More...27 Apr 2017


Cytology Test for Pre-Cancer Diagnosis Receives FDA Approval
A cytology test, which is the only clinically validated cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (p16) biomarker test that, when used in conjunction with hematoxylin & eosin (H&E) staining, helps pathologists determine which women should receive treatment for cervical pre-cancer. More...25 Apr 2017

High-Res Imaging Obtained with Conventional Microscopes
Researchers have developed a technique for obtaining high-resolution images of tissue samples with confocal microscopes, at a fraction of the cost of other techniques that offer similar resolution. This level of resolution allowed them to see, for example, proteins that cluster together in complex patterns at brain synapses. More...24 Apr 2017
Urinary Volatiles Tested for Prostate Cancer Diagnosis
Early detection is one of the most important factors in helping men to survive prostate cancer, but the diagnosis is not straightforward. It usually relies on a combination of a digital rectal exam and a blood test to measure prostate-specific antigen (PSA) to help decide whether a biopsy should be done. More...21 Apr 2017
