Assessment of Tau Protein Status for Early Detection of Alzheimer's Disease

The ratio of normal to aggregated tau protein found in blood platelets has been suggested as a biomarker that could be used for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease. More...

Highest Sensitivity Liquid Biopsy Test Introduced for Lung Cancer

Approximately 20% of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients test positive for an epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) driver mutation and receive EGFR Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor (TKI) therapy, but unfortunately, most will develop a resistance to this type of therapy. More...

Ribosomal Protein Expression Specifies Normal and Malignant Human Cells

Proteins are the building blocks of life, produced by molecular machines called ribosomes. A human ribosome is composed of four ribosomal RNAs (rRNAs) and 80 ribosomal proteins (RPs), and its structure is believed to be largely invariant. More...

Gene Identified That Drives Deadly Brain Cancer

Glioblastoma is the most common and aggressive brain cancer in adults and over 70% of patients with glioblastoma die within two years of diagnosis, though a gene has been identified that is overactive in a deadly form of brain cancer. More...

Early Signs of Alzheimer's Detected in Cerebrospinal Fluid

An early immune response has been found in individuals with a genetic predisposition to Alzheimer's and their brains showed abnormal immune reactions as early as about seven years before the expected onset of dementia. More...

Proteomic Test Stratifies Patients for Immunotherapies

Anti PD-1 inhibitors are the treatments of choice in second line non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), however they only benefit a fraction of patients, while existing biomarkers such as PD-L1 expression correlate with outcomes, but are not sufficient to guide therapy. More...

Serum MiR-122 Levels Associated with Histopathological Features of NAFLD

Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) can only be diagnosed by the presence of histopathological components, such as steatosis, lobular inflammation, ballooning, and fibrosis and therefore there is a need for non-invasive surrogate markers of histopathological features. More...
