“The microbiome is a highly complex and diverse community of microorganisms living in and on the human body,” describes Dr. Kate Markey, Assistant Professor in the Translational Science and ...
A novel blood test analyzing fragments of cell-free DNA showed robust diagnostic performance for colorectal cancer across clinical subgroups, offering a promising noninvasive screening method.
Groundbreaking research in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics shows that analysis of specific patterns of cell-free DNA ...
Small cell lung cancer (SCLC) remains a challenging cancer type to treat effectively. While patients initially respond to chemotherapy and immunotherapies, the disease almost always returns, often ...
Donor-derived cell-free DNA can aid detection, diagnosis, and monitoring of antibody-mediated rejection after kidney transplantation. Donor-derived cell-free DNA (dd-cfDNA) is a non-invasive biomarker ...
Researchers combined protein biomarkers, cfDNA analysis, and machine learning to open opportunities for early-stage ovarian cancer screening and diagnostics. The cfDNA fragmentome is a genome-wide ...
A blood-based test using cell-free DNA had high sensitivity for colorectal cancer, high specificity for advanced neoplasia, and some sensitivity for advanced precancerous lesions. A blood-based ...
DEAR DR. ROACH: I am 85 and healthy apart from polycythemia vera, for which I take aspirin. I was interested in the new blood test for cancer. Is it worthwhile? -- M.N. ANSWER: When screening patients ...
When cells expire, they leave behind an activity log of sorts: RNA expelled into blood plasma that reveals changes in gene expression, cellular signaling, tissue injury and other biological processes.
