Genetic Mutation Identified for Childhood Kidney Cancer
The underlying mechanism that causes aneuploidy might be important in understanding cancer risk and not solely having the wrong number of chromosomes in a cell. It is an important development that provides valuable information about the fundamental biology of cancer. More...13 Jun 2017
Intestinal Fungi Contribute to Alcoholic Liver Disease
Chronic liver disease with cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the USA, and alcoholic liver disease accounts for approximately half of all cirrhosis deaths. Chronic alcohol consumption is associated with intestinal bacterial dysbiosis, yet little is known about the contribution of intestinal fungi, or mycobiota, to alcoholic liver disease.

Heterogeneity Influences Cancer Immunohistochemistry Results
Many gastric cancer (GC) patients are with inoperable lesions and endoscopic biopsy becomes the only available approach to obtain tumor tissues for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assessment. Unlike resected specimens, biopsy specimens are influenced by many factors and in turn more difficult to manipulate. More...06 Jun 2017
Biomarkers Revealed for Cognitive Impairment in PD
Biomarkers have been identified that could predict the cognitive impairment typical of Parkinson's Disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease that affects about half a million people in the USA, with approximately 50,000 people receive a PD diagnosis every year. More...31 May 2017
FISH Method Developed for Analyzing Immune Response
Researchers have developed a method to analyze hundreds of thousands of cells at once using FISH-Flow for concurrent detection of mRNA and protein markers in single cells using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and flow cytometry. The new protocol currently evaluates immune responses and could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses of illnesses, including tuberculosis (TB) and cancers. More...30 May 2017
Alzheimer’s Disease Progression Predicted by Gene Mutation
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia in older adults. It is a degenerative condition, characterized by a steady loss of memory and a reduced ability to carry out daily activities. Today, an estimated five million people in the USA are living with the disease. More...25 May 2017
