Novel, High-Accuracy Blood Test Can Screen for Multiple Cancers

 A new targeted methylation-based assay has been developed that is able to screen blood samples for more than 20 types of cancer at all stages, including lung cancer, with high accuracy and it also correctly pinpoints the tissue of origin (TOO). More...

Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics

 Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...

Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk Predicted by Immune-Related Germline Variants

 A single normal cell randomly acquires a series of mutations that allows it to proliferate and to be transformed into a cancer cell (i.e., founding clone), which initiates tumor progression and recurrence. More...

Aqueous Humor Is Superior to Blood to Diagnose Retinoblastoma

Retinoblastoma is a cancer that forms in the light-detecting cells in the back of the eye. It often appears in children under two years of age and can lead to blindness or eye removal. Most cancers are biopsied and studied so that medical scientists can design targeted treatments. More...

A Potential Point-of-Care Method for the Diagnosis of Sepsis

 As part of the effort to create better methods to detect and treat sepsis, researchers developed a technique that enables measurement of the activation and function of white blood cells. More...

Novel Nanosensing Technologies Developed for Exosome Detection and Profiling

Exosomes are extracellular vesicles (EVs) that are produced in the endosomal compartment of most eukaryotic cells. Liquid biopsy technologies have been developed to do high-throughput exosome protein profiling and point-of-care (POC) exosome analysis. More...

Blood Biomarkers Identify Individuals at Risk of Heart Attack or Stroke

A recent study found that elevated levels of high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T or NT-proBNP characterized individuals with elevated blood pressure (BP) or hypertension not currently recommended for anti-hypertensive medication who are at high risk for cardiovascular (CV) events such as heart attack or stroke.
