Physicians Perform Fewer Prostate Biopsies Post-Phi Testing

Prostate cancer is the third-leading cause of cancer death in men, with one in seven receiving a diagnosis during his lifetime. In 2017, approximately 161,360 new cases of prostate cancer were identified, with 60% of those occurring in men 65 years of age or older. More...

New Immunoassays Measures Beta-Amyloid 42 in CSF

Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) β-amyloid (Aβ) 42 and amyloid positron emission tomography (PET) have proved to have high diagnostic accuracy for Alzheimer disease (AD) years before the onset of clinical symptoms and are becoming an important part of the diagnostic workup. More...

Newly Developed Automated Immunoassay Analyzed

Dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) may be a suitable biomarker to identify people with severe asthma who have greater activation of the interleukin-13 (IL-13) pathway and may therefore benefit from IL-13-targeted treatments. More...

Immunoassay Quantifies Cancer Cell Loss During Treatment

The quantification of cell loss in breast cancer during neoadjuvant treatment (NACT) can be assessed by serum thymidine kinase protein concentrations (sTK1). TK1 has a key function in DNA synthesis and repair responsible for maintaining the nucleoid pool balance by salvage and recycle thymidine from extracellular sources. More...

Fecal Zonulin Elevated in Crohn’s Disease and Smokers

Human zonulin is a protein that increases permeability in the epithelial layer of the small intestine by reversibly modulating the intercellular tight junctions. There is not sufficient information available about zonulin's participation in inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD). More...
