Mild-to-Moderate Hypertriglyceridemia Leads to Acute Pancreatitis
Pancreatitis is very painful and it may lead to fatalities and until now, medical science has connected the risk of developing this illness to gallstone, a high intake of alcohol and very high concentrations of blood fats or triglycerides. More...23 Nov 2016

Molecular Signature Identified for Aggressive Brain Tumor
Meningiomas are the most common primary brain tumors, but the term encompasses over a dozen subtypes that range from benign to highly aggressive. Rhabdoid meningiomas are classified as highly aggressive due to their high rates of recurrence and mortality, but the experience and outcomes for patients with this rare form of brain tumor vary widely.

Software Platform Provides Capabilities for Somatic Variation Analysis
An upgraded information-processing platform enables clinical genetics and molecular pathology laboratories to achieve higher performance and efficiency in somatic variation analysis of tumor-tissue sequencing data and in reporting of tissue-typing results, among other features. More...22 Nov 2016

Personalized Cancer Diagnostics Based on Circulating Tumor DNA Profiling
Cancer researchers have demonstrated that profiling of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) revealed molecular determinants that enabled them to predict adverse outcomes in patients with diffuse large B cell lymphoma and that could be developed into a method for personalized diagnosis.
