Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics
Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...26 Nov 2019

Second Malignancy Risk Higher for Some Leukemia Survivors
Chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) is the most common leukemia diagnosis in adults, with favorable outcomes in majority of patients and a 5-year survival of around 85%. A large proportion of CLL patients may never require treatment, requiring only ongoing surveillance. More...25 Nov 2019

Breast Cancer Recurrence Risk Predicted by Immune-Related Germline Variants
A single normal cell randomly acquires a series of mutations that allows it to proliferate and to be transformed into a cancer cell (i.e., founding clone), which initiates tumor progression and recurrence. More...25 Nov 2019


Aqueous Humor Is Superior to Blood to Diagnose Retinoblastoma
Retinoblastoma is a cancer that forms in the light-detecting cells in the back of the eye. It often appears in children under two years of age and can lead to blindness or eye removal. Most cancers are biopsied and studied so that medical scientists can design targeted treatments. More...25 Nov 2019

Automated Immunoassay Systems Evaluated for KL‐6 Antigen Quantification
Interstitial lung disease (ILD) is a group of diseases characterized by various forms of pulmonary interstitial inflammation and fibrosis, which are usually chronic, progressive, and fatal, causing death 2‐5 years after diagnosis in most patients. More...20 Nov 2019

High Levels Of Blood Hormones Raise Prostate Cancer Risk
Men with higher levels of 'free' testosterone and a growth hormone in their blood are more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer. Other factors such as older age, ethnicity and a family history of the disease are already known to increase a man's risk of developing prostate cancer. More...11 Nov 2019
