Mpox continues to circulate in the U.S. among gay and bisexual men who have sex with men. Though the number fell sharply to only 3 cases during the June through December 2023 multisite surveillance period compared to the previous highs, concern for its reemergence continues due to, among other things, incomplete knowledge among other groups.
Using artificial intelligence technology to identify patterns of DNA fragments associated with lung cancer, researchers from the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and other institutions have developed and validated a liquid biopsy that may help identify lung cancer earlier.
A novel study, led by the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Cedars-Sinai and published today in the peer-reviewed journal Nature, shows how cells use a protein called PD-L1 to rally white blood cells to battle infections.
A new study demonstrates that minimally invasive blood collection devices could increase the participation of people experiencing homelessness (PEH) in public health studies and clinical research. This finding, which was presented today in the Association for Diagnostics & Laboratory Medicine’s (formerly AACC’s) The Journal of Applied Laboratory Medicine, may help improve medical care for this historically underrepresented and underserved population.
Exercising at a high level doesn’t affect the progression of calcium buildup in the arteries, even among older athletes such as marathoners who tend to have higher coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores, according to new research from UT Southwestern Medical Center. But a longer duration of exercise is associated with higher CAC.
The Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) has published a set of evidence-based recommendations for the analytical validation and reporting of tumor mutational burden (TMB) testing as a potential predictive biomarker for immune checkpoint inhibitor (ICI) therapies. These recommendations encompass pre-analytical, analytical, and post-analytical factors of TMB analysis, and emphasize the importance of comprehensive methodological descriptions in publications to allow comparability between assays.
Dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that is implied by gravitational effects that can’t be explained by general relativity unless more matter is present in the universe than can be seen. It remains virtually as mysterious as it was nearly a century ago when first suggested by Dutch astronomer Jan Oort in 1932 to explain the so-called “missing mass” necessary for things like galaxies to clump together.
Johns Hopkins Medicine scientists say they have developed an artificial lymph node with the potential to treat cancer, according to a new study in mice and human cells.
Scientists from Stanley Manne Children’s Research Institute at Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children’s Hospital of Chicago have discovered a way to regenerate damaged heart muscle cells in mice, a development which may provide a new avenue for treating congenital heart defects in children and heart attack damage in adults, according to a study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation.
