Image: Nucleosomics Technology: The DNA in every cell is wound around protein complexes in a beads-on-a-string structure. Each bead is called a nucleosome. When cells die, the body breaks the DNA string up into individual nucleosomes which are released into the blood (Photo courtesy of VolitionRx Limited).

NuQ Blood Assay CE-Marked for Colorectal Cancer Detection

A blood-based diagnostic assay for detection of colorectal cancer has received ConformitĂ© EuropĂ©enne marking, which enables European Clinical Use/Sale in 33 Countries with nearly 600 million people.  More...
