Circulating Plasma DNA Potentially Identifies Incipient Tumors

Early cancer diagnosis might improve survival rates. As circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) carries cancer-specific modifications, it has great potential as a noninvasive biomarker for detection of incipient tumors. More...

Lateral Flow RPA Assay Developed for Cryptococcus in CSF

The most common presentations of cryptococcosis are meningitis and meningoencephalitis. Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a subacute meningoencephalitis and the most common cause of adult meningitis with very high mortality rates as well as vision and hearing loss in survivors. More...

Novel Test Measures Pain Biomarkers in Blood

A test that objectively measures pain biomarkers in blood has been developed. The test could help physicians better treat patients with precision medicine, and help stem the tide of the opioid crisis. More...

Genetic Defect Linked to Pediatric Liver Disease

Biliary atresia (BA) is the most common cause of end‐stage liver disease in children and the primary indication for pediatric liver transplantation, yet underlying etiologies remain unknown. More...

Buruli Ulcer Pathogen Detected by Isothermal RPA Assay

Buruli ulcer (BU) is a neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. The pathogenesis of BU is linked to the production of a polyketide toxin known as mycolactone, which is cytotoxic and has immunomodulatory properties and presents as nodules, plaques, ulcers and edema. More...

Gastric Cancer Analysis Identifies Four Subtypes

In previous studies of gastric cancers (GCs), genomic and transcriptomic analyses have identified molecular signatures associated with phenotypes of the disease, such as patient subtypes and survival. New proteogenomic analysis of diffuse gastric cancers (GCs) in young populations identified four subtypes of the disease. More...

Genes Associated with Age-Related Macular Degeneration Identified

Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD) is a complex disease influenced by yet-to-be-understood mix of genetic and behavioral factors. Smoking increases the risk of developing the disease, while eating leafy greens and fish reduces it. More...
