One gene closer to regenerative therapy for muscular disorders

Reporting results, researchers seek ways to develop regenerative therapies for muscle disorders by getting stem cells to fuse and form functioning skeletal muscle tissues. A detour on the road to regenerative medicine for people with muscular disorders is figuring out how to coax muscle stem cells to fuse together and form functioning skeletal muscle tissues. […]

New biomarker identified for early diagnosis of lung cancer

High levels of cytoskeleton-associated protein 4 (CKAP4) have been identified in the blood of patients with lung cancer. In a novel study investigators found that CKAP4 levels were significantly higher in patients with lung cancer than in healthy individuals. They further determined that CKAP4 levels are already elevated in the blood of patients with stage […]

Dozens of new gene changes that point to elevated of prostate cancer risk

As the result of a six-year long research process, Fredrick R. Schumacher, PhD, a cancer epidemiology researcher at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine, and an international team of more than 100 colleagues have identified 63 new genetic variations that could indicate higher risk of prostate cancer in men of European descent. The findings […]

Researchers take a step closer to developing a DNA test for liver cancer

A group of researchers from Mayo Clinic and Exact Sciences Corporation have completed a phase II study comparing a set of DNA markers to alpha fetoprotein as a method to test for liver cancer. “We currently test for liver cancer using ultrasound and a blood protein marker called alpha fetoprotein,” says John Kisiel, M.D., a […]

Scientists discover schizophrenia gene roles in brain development

A USC research team identified 150 proteins affecting cell activity and brain development that contribute to mental disorders, including schizophrenia, bipolar condition and depression. It’s the first time these molecules, which are associated with the disrupted-in-schizophrenia 1 (DISC1) protein linked to mental disorders, have been identified. The scientists developed new tools involving stem cells to […]

Greiner Bio-One looks back on successful year

Greiner Bio-One had a successful business year in 2017, further reinforcing its market position thanks to strong growth, new sites and innovative product solutions. The takeover of its long-standing, exclusive distribution partners VACUETTE España and VACUETTE Portugal in March 2017 has enabled greater proximity to customers and targeted market cultivation. As a result of that […]

Early Indicators of Bone Loss After Hip Replacement Discovered

Hip replacements relieve pain and restore mobility for hundreds of thousands of patients in the United States each year, but of the more than 400,000 hip replacements performed in the U.S. annually, about 10 percent will fail within 10 to 15 years. One main cause of this failure — which results in a need for […]

Blood test for pregnant women can predict premature birth

A new blood test for pregnant women detects with 75-80 percent accuracy whether their pregnancies will end in premature birth. The technique can also be used to estimate a foetus’s gestational age — or the mother’s due date — as reliably as and less expensively than ultrasound. Developed by a team of scientists led by […]
