Methods Explored for Gram-Negative Non-Fermentative Bacteria ID

The non-fermentative Gram-negative bacteria are widely distributed in the environment and have become increasingly common isolates in the clinical laboratory. Being ubiquitous in nature, they are often disregarded as contaminants. More...

Trial Finds High Analytical Performance in Whole-Genome Sequencing

Genetic diseases are a leading cause of infant mortality particularly among infants admitted to neonatal, pediatric, and cardiovascular intensive care units (ICUs). Disease progression can be extremely rapid in infants, necessitating early etiologic diagnosis in order to inform interventions that can lessen suffering, morbidity, and mortality. More...

Lynch Syndrome Screening by IHC Leads to Mutation Studies

Lynch syndrome or hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer is an autosomal dominant genetic condition that is associated with a high risk of colon cancer, as well as other cancers including endometrial cancer, ovary, stomach, small intestine, hepatobiliary tract, upper urinary tract, brain, and skin.

Serum Levels of Neurofilament Light Chain Distinguish FTLD

While searching for biomarkers to diagnose frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), researchers employed the ultrasensitive single molecule array (Simoa) DNA analysis technique to detect neurofilament light chain (NfL) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and, less invasively, from blood samples. More...

Immune Processes Linked to Multiple Sclerosis Genetics

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an autoimmune inflammatory degenerative disease of the central nervous system that often starts in young adulthood and affects 2.3 million individuals worldwide. While prior genetic studies have implicated the adaptive immune system in the disease, in particular T cells, much of the genetic architecture of MS has remained unknown. More...
