Fecal Analyses Leads to Inflammatory Bowel Disease Diagnosis
The development of sophisticated analytical techniques has enabled the study and interpretation of changes in the fecal volatile organic metabolites and its correlation with the pathophysiological mechanisms in the gut during health and disease. More...23 Feb 2016
Prostate Cancer Detected in Blood Using Flow Cytometry
Current methods of detecting prostate cancer, such as the prostate-specific antigen test and biopsies, have limitations. PSA tests are based on measuring a specific protein released by the prostate gland, but do not provide a definitive diagnosis. More...22 Feb 2016
2D Gel Immunoblot Test Detects Mesothelioma Biomarkers in the Blood Years Prior to Appearance of Symptoms
An advanced two-dimensional gel electrophoresis test has demonstrated the presence of a biomarker for mesothelioma in the serum of individuals four to 10 years before the appearance of clinical symptoms. More...16 Feb 2016
Study Shows Importance of mTORC1 and p21 Signaling in Head and Neck Carcinomas
A team of Spanish cancer researchers has found that over-activation of the mTORC1/4E-BP1/p21 molecular pathway is a frequent and clinically relevant alteration in head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. More...15 Feb 2016
