Failing Hearts Switch Fuels to Continue Generating Energy

A new study provides fresh biochemical insight into heart failure and may eventually lead to new diagnostic and pathology tests as well as therapeutic targets to prevent or slow progression of the disease.   More...

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...

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...

Urine Diagnostic Test Created for Urological Malignancies

A urine diagnostic test has been created for prostate cancer that could mean that invasive diagnostic procedures that men currently undergo eventually become a thing of the past.  More...

Image: Staining with the monoclonal antibody TAB-004 is so specific for most cases of mammary carcinoma, immunoreactivity in the tumor can be appreciated even without the microscope. OncoTAb’s blood test may be a useful supplemental test with mammography for women with dense breast tissue (Photo courtesy of OncoTab).

Blood Test Enables Earlier Detection of Breast Cancer

Extensive mammographic density may make breast cancer more difficult to detect by mammography and thus increases the risk of the development of cancer between mammographic screening tests.  More...

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...

Image: Section of a head and neck cancer biopsy was stained for p21 (brown) and for S6 phosphorylation (red). S6 phosphorylation depends directly on mTOR and, therefore, its detection is an indication of mTOR activity (Photo courtesy of Centro Nacional de Investigaciones Oncologicas).

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...
