Ultrasensitive ELISA Enables Detection of Interferon
Researchers have developed a method for ultrasensitive detection of interferon alpha protein linked to multiple autoimmune diseases, including systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and dermatomyositis. The technique will aid the diagnosis and treatment, and has also begun to reveal differential levels and cellular sources among different autoimmune diseases. More...02 May 2017
Novel Technique Captures Plasma Cells from Myeloma Patients
Multiple myeloma is a cancer of the plasma cells, which are white blood cells produced in bone marrow that churn out antibodies to help fight infection. When plasma cells become cancerous, they produce abnormal proteins, and the cells can build up in bone marrow, ultimately seeping into the bloodstream. More...27 Apr 2017
Rapid Tests Conclusively Diagnose Chagas Disease
Chagas disease is caused by infection with the Trypanosoma cruzi that are generally transmitted by triatomine vectors that are endemic to the Americas. It affects several million people and severe cardiac and/or digestive complications occur in about 30% of the chronically infected patients. More...19 Apr 2017
Innovative Von Willebrand Factor Test Launched in US
A center for blood diseases has launched a new test in the United States to more accurately measure activity of von Willebrand Factor (VWF), one of the blood-clotting proteins, for people with the inherited bleeding disorder von Willebrand disease (VWD). More...18 Apr 2017
Analyzing Antibodies Predicts Prognosis of RA
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an inflammatory disease where the joints become stiff and swollen, and is associated with future joint destruction. This is caused by immune cells, which normally attack foreign organisms but instead react against the tissues in the joints, resulting in inflammation. More...14 Apr 2017
