Sequencing Approach to Detect Genomic Alterations

An early study evaluated a sophisticated new genomic-sequencing approach that analyzes cell-free DNA (cfDNA) in the blood of people with advanced cancer and will help development of a future assay that could potentially detect cancer in its earliest stages. More...

Genetic Mutation Identified for Childhood Kidney Cancer

The underlying mechanism that causes aneuploidy might be important in understanding cancer risk and not solely having the wrong number of chromosomes in a cell. It is an important development that provides valuable information about the fundamental biology of cancer. More...

Elevated Blood Platelet Count Predicts Cancer

The most common route to cancer diagnosis follows the development of symptoms, and definitive diagnosis by biopsy and access to specialist care often rely on a primary care physician to recognize the possibility of cancer. More...

Intestinal Fungi Contribute to Alcoholic Liver Disease

Chronic liver disease with cirrhosis is the 12th leading cause of death in the USA, and alcoholic liver disease accounts for approximately half of all cirrhosis deaths. Chronic alcohol consumption is associated with intestinal bacterial dysbiosis, yet little is known about the contribution of intestinal fungi, or mycobiota, to alcoholic liver disease. More...

Heterogeneity Influences Cancer Immunohistochemistry Results

Many gastric cancer (GC) patients are with inoperable lesions and endoscopic biopsy becomes the only available approach to obtain tumor tissues for human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) assessment. Unlike resected specimens, biopsy specimens are influenced by many factors and in turn more difficult to manipulate. More...

Biomarkers Revealed for Cognitive Impairment in PD

Biomarkers have been identified that could predict the cognitive impairment typical of Parkinson's Disease (PD), a neurodegenerative disease that affects about half a million people in the USA, with approximately 50,000 people receive a PD diagnosis every year. More...

FISH Method Developed for Analyzing Immune Response

Researchers have developed a method to analyze hundreds of thousands of cells at once using FISH-Flow for concurrent detection of mRNA and protein markers in single cells using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and flow cytometry. The new protocol currently evaluates immune responses and could lead to faster and more accurate diagnoses of illnesses, including tuberculosis (TB) and cancers. More...
