High Risk HPV Multiplex Assay Clinically Validated

Persistent infection with at least one of the high-risk carcinogenic human papillomavirus types is the primary risk factor for the development of cervical cancer and HPV is found in virtually all cases of cervical cancer and precursor lesions.  More...

Sensitive Method Detects Early Amyloidosis in Humans

The amyloidoses comprise a large group of diseases characterized by extracellular deposits in various tissues and organs. These deposits, termed “amyloid,” result from misfolding and/or partial unfolding of proteins followed by their ordered aggregation into amyloid fibrils with specific β-sheet conformation.  More...

Multiple Diseases Detected via DNA Released from Dying Cells

A blood test has been developed that can detect multiple pathologies, including diabetes, cancer, traumatic injury and neurodegeneration, in a highly sensitive and specific manner. The novel method infers cell death in specific tissue from the methylation patterns of circulating DNA that is released by dying cells.   More...

Prostate Cancer Diagnosed from Urinary Ribonucleic Acid

A test for noncoding ribonucleic acid molecules in urine may offer a way to detect prostate cancer that is more accurate and reliable than current methods using biomarkers such as prostate-specific antigen and prostate cancer gene 3.  More...

Early Stage Breast Cancer Recurrence Linked to High Leukocyte Ratio

A high ratio of two types of immune system cell is linked to an increased risk of disease recurrence after a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer and the findings might guide future treatment and monitoring strategies, if prospective studies confirm the link.  More...
