New method opens unexplored realms for liquid biopsies A new approach to RNA sequencing reveals thousands of previously inaccessible RNA fragments in blood plasma that might serve as disease- and organ-specific biomarkers Advancing technology is allowing scientists increasingly to search ...

This is the first companion diagnostic to detect gene fusions across all solid tumors; Caris expects to submit for Pre-Market Approval later this year Caris Life Sciences, a leading innovator in molecular...

Scientists from Agency for Science, Technology and Research’s (A*STAR) Genome Institute of Singapore (GIS), the National Cancer Centre Singapore (NCCS) and Fluidigm Corporation have developed a new technology to simultaneously and systematically...

In a new study, Yale Cancer Center scientists have demonstrated a powerful method to analyze how tumor cells are altered as they metastasize, or spread, to the brain. The research, published in the journal Cell Reports, may eventually improve early diagnosis and treatment ...

A new technique called ECCITE-seq, developed by scientists at the New York Genome Center’s (NYGC) Technology Innovation Lab (@NYGCtech), allows researchers to perform high-throughput measurements of multiple modalities of information from single cells. The technique, ECCITE-seq, published today in Nature Methods, stands ...

A. oligospora can develop adhesive networks (AN) to capture nematodes. Fungi are the most common cause of diseases in crops and other plants, and pose major threats to humans and other animals. The successful treatment of fungal diseases is difficult partly ...

A team of McMaster University researchers has discovered a unique subset of cells within human stem cells that appear to signal how the surrounding cells will develop and grow.The discovery of...

An eight-year hunt for the cells that drive the extreme childhood food allergy eosinophilic esophagitis (EoE) has identified a potential new...

Scientists in the Sloan Kettering Institute have combined powerful laboratory and computational techniques to analyze the earliest moments of mouse development. The results could help explain why cancers form more commonly in certain places than in others. To a developmental biologist, animal ...
