The starting point for an interaction between a patient and a clinician is almost always a set of clinical facts (aka a phenotype). Phenotype-first medicine is the standard way in which the p...
Understanding disease at a deeper level so that it can be targeted more precisely is the essence of precision medicine. Rapid technological advance, particularly in genomics and sensor-based...
This is an exciting time for melanoma treatment, with a half-dozen new drugs approved in just over four years. This influx has brought a new complexity to the field, however, including questi...
Richard Hughes: New immunogenicity strategies to meet the needs of a developing pandemic Shortly after the COVID-19 pandemic began, the subject of serological testing for anti-viral antibodi...
Genetic biomarkers have become increasingly important for disease prediction, early disease detection and progression, and options for intervention. Tumor biopsies are commonly used as sourc...
We describe a novel method to measure 1,25(OH)2D. Briefly, this method was built on four pillars: (1) the nuclear vitamin D receptor (VDR)`s ligand binding domain (LBD) as a capture mol...
The human brain has a remarkable ability to store and retrieve information. Detailed memories can be formed after as little as one exposure, and those memories can be retained for decades. Im...
Meet xMAP® Technology all over again. Over the past 25 years, Luminex’s xMAP Technology has emerged as the worldwide leader in bead-based multiplexing. The new xMAP® INTELLIFLE...
Intra-tumor heterogeneity is a major obstacle to cancer treatment. Existing single-cell studies of intra-tumor heterogeneity have largely focused on DNA mutations; functional heterogeneity is...
