Cancer-Associated T Cell Receptors Evaluated for Malignancy Detection

A key goal in oncology is diagnosing cancer early, when it is more treatable. Despite decades of progress, early diagnosis of asymptomatic patients remains a major challenge. Most methods for this involve detecting cancer cells, but a different approach, focused on the body’s immune response. More...

Hodgkin Lymphoma Therapy Response Linked to T-Cell Receptor Repertoire

Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) is a type of lymphoma in which cancer originates from a specific type of white blood cells called lymphocytes. Symptoms may include fever, night sweats, and weight loss. Often there will be non-painful enlarged lymph nodes in the neck, under the arm, or in the groin. More...

Microfluidic Device Explores Ovarian Cancer Interactions

In many cancers, platelet interactions with circulating tumor cells and their role in metastasis have been studied extensively. In ovarian cancer, platelet extravasation into the tumor and resulting metastasis is thought to be regulated mostly by the vascular endothelium. More...

Blood Bank NAT-Based Assay Prevents Transfusion-Transmitted Malaria

Blood transfusion is an essential component of health care, which saves millions of lives across the world. The screening of blood donors for transfusion-transmissible agents is crucial in reducing risks of transfusion of infected units. More...

Prostate Cancer Identified By Profiling Immune Cell Subsets

With an estimated 1.8 million new cases in 2018 alone, prostate cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world. Diagnosing the disease early increases the chances of survival, but this cancer remains difficult to detect. More...

Circulating tumor DNA Test Predicts Immunotherapy Response

 Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Although some cancer patients derive dramatic and sustained benefit from immunotherapy, most cancer patients do not. More...

Lab Profiles Differentiate MIS-C From Severe Pediatric COVID-19

Initial reports from the Severe Acute Respiratory Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) pandemic described children as being less susceptible to Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) than adults. Subsequently, a severe and novel pediatric disorder termed Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome in Children (MIS-C) emerged. More...
