A novel approach to studying cancer has enabled researchers to group about 10,000 human cancers of 32 different types into 10 classes based on the molecular pathways that drive tumor growth.

Scientists have developed a way to identify biomarkers for a wide range of diseases by assessing the antibodies we are making to the complex sugars coating our cells.

Current tests for gluten are not finding all of the substance in foods, resulting in some products being labeled “gluten free” when they really aren’t. Now researchers say they have developed a fast gluten detector that has the potential to detect and quantify different sources of gluten than those on the market today.

Engineered AAV strain efficiently enters the brain to deliver its therapeutic payload.

Molecular pathology showed significant overlap between distinct disorders, such as autism and schizophrenia, but also specificity, with major depression showing molecular changes not seen in the other disorders.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) has been associated with dementia, but the association has not been studied over a long period of time, until now.

Preliminary results suggest strokes also affect the eye.

The system is the first to reproduce all the aspects of blood vessel injury seen in the microvasculature: blood loss due to trauma, clot formation by whole blood and repair of the blood vessel lining.

Researchers describe a signaling pathway that affects communication — a process called quorum sensing — between Streptococcus bacteria cells.

Deer infected with chronic wasting disease are doomed to a slow and certain death, there is no cure and no vaccine, and the number of infected deer continues to rise every year. However, researchers have now found that soil characteristics, such as clay content and pH, help to predict where the disease is more likely to persist which could aid future management schemes.
