Scientists discover predictors that determine toxic fats in the liver

Proteins that normally reside inside cell nuclei have never been found in the blood, until now. A new blood test developed at the Johns Hopkins University by Shih-Chin Wang and Chih-Ping Mao—graduate students in Jie Xiao’s lab in the Department of Biophysics and Chien-Fu Hung’s lab in the Department of Pathology—can identify individual molecules in […]

The EORTC Brain Tumour Group and Protagen AG announce their collaboration to investigate the immuno-competence of long-term Glioblastoma survivors

The European Organisation for Research and Treatment of Cancer (EORTC) Brain Tumor Group and Protagen AG today announced a collaboration to utilize Protagen’s Cancer Immunotherapy Array to identify autoantibody biomarkers that investigate the immunological profile and immuno-competence of long-term Glioblastoma survivors.Glioblastoma is the most common glial brain tumor with an annual incidence above 3 per […]

Depleted metabolic enzymes promote tumour growth in kidney cancer

Kidney cancer, one of the ten most prevalent malignancies in the world, has increased in incidence over the last decade, likely due to rising obesity rates. The most common subtype of this cancer is “clear cell” renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC), which exhibits multiple metabolic abnormalities, such as highly elevated stored sugar and fat deposition. By […]

Researchers find new genetic information behind urogenital track anomalies

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have developed a new mouse model of congenital anomalies of kidney and urinary tract and disease progression. About one in every 100 babies is born with some kind of developmental anomaly in the urogenital tract. In most cases abnormalities are mild, but sometimes life-long and even life-threatening disease develops. […]

Inflammatory marker tied to kidney decline in healthy adults

In healthy people, high levels of tumour necrosis factor 1 were associated with the emergence of kidney problems 10 years later. A large, multi-ethnic study of healthy individuals found that high blood levels of an inflammatory marker are linked with long-term decline of kidney function. The results may shed light on biological mechanisms that spur […]

New combined diagnostic and antimicrobial susceptibility test enables resistance-guided therapy for gonorrhoea

UK patients with N. gonorrhoeae (GC) now have the option of receiving the cheap and easily-administered oral antibiotic ciprofloxacin thanks to updated treatment guidelines and the availability of a novel molecular diagnostic and antimicrobial susceptibility test (AST). The new test can simultaneously diagnose gonorrhoea and provide information on whether a patient will respond to ciprofloxacin. […]

A highly sensitive new blood test can detect rare cancer proteins

Proteins that normally reside inside cell nuclei have never been found in the blood, until now. A new blood test developed at the Johns Hopkins University by Shih-Chin Wang and Chih-Ping Mao—graduate students in Jie Xiao’s lab in the Department of Biophysics and Chien-Fu Hung’s lab in the Department of Pathology—can identify individual molecules in […]
