Cancer Cell: is a cell that can divide relentlessly, forming solid tumors or flooding the blood with abnormal cells. Cell division is a normal process used by the body for growth and repair.
Self-assembling protein microarrays arrays can be used to study protein-protein interactions, protein-drug interactions, search for enzyme substrates, and as tools to search for disease bioma...
A recently discovered communication system used by cells to send messages across the human body promises to revolutionize our understanding of disease and how we treat it. Technologies based...
Pathology departments are under significant pressure to meet the demands of a precise medicine environment where general phenotypic attributes are no longer sufficient for accurately defining...
We have been developing methods to target drugs specifically to pathologic cells, thereby avoiding collateral toxicity to healthy cells. In the case of cancer, we have exploited up-regulation...
Cancer remains the second leading cause of death in the United States. Most tumors arise from a myriad of genetic changes that dysregulate cell growth and prompt survival. Ident...
The advent of personalized medicine employing molecular targeted therapies has markedly changed the treatment of cancer in the past 10 years. Although tumor tissue biopsy-based genotyping is...
Recent advances in next-generation sequencing (NGS) have helped to accelerate the pace of discovery in the field of genetic disease research and testing. The ability to analyze multiple genes...
Genetic testing has been an important component of medical care for decades but the breadth and impact of testing has been steadily increasing as medical knowledge increases, appreciation of ...
The greatest health epidemic of our time is cancer. Deaths from cancer worldwide outnumber the combined deaths from HIV/AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria by a wide margin. There are at least 100...
A century and a half after we first probed heritability, we risk forgetting one of Mendel's own basic findings, in rushing to broaden clinical genomics to lifelong care for all. Embracing...
Precision medicine requires understanding the mechanistic basis of complex disorders, and to precisely manipulate these mechanisms to better human health. This is partly enabled by the recent...
While next-generation sequencing has proven to be a very useful tool in basic research, two major hurdles remain for its broad adoption in the clinical research setting: lack of seamless work...
The advent of the microarray technology in 2000 has paved the way for advanced translational research methods that use molecular markers such as microRNA, proteins, metabolites and copy numbe...
Cell death is involved in diseases such as cancer and neurodegeneration, and also has a natural role in the development of multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis has been well defined, a...
Every day, vast amounts of healthcare data are collected from clinical trials as well as real world medical visits on patient treatment regimens and subsequent clinical outcomes. This big dat...
On January 20, 2015, President Obama announced the Precision Medicine Initiative® (PMI) (link is external) in his State of the Union address. Through advances in research, technology and...
One of the primary goals of precision medicine is the aggregation and interpretation of deep, longitudinal patient-specific data in the context of the digital universe of information, using a...
A number of recently publications have heralded the advent of Precision Medicine in Oncology, where next generation sequencing technology, other ’omics technologies, serial biopsies, so...
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...
In December 2012 the UK Prime Minister announced the 100,000 genomes project to introduce whole genome sequencing for treatment into the UK National Health Service (NHS) o...
Precision medicine promises a more effective approach to disease treatment and management. It is based on analyzing mutations of disease samples to unlock mechanisms of disease development an...
Personalised Healthcare is essential to AstraZeneca’s approach to drug development and is adopted by more than 80% of drug products in clinical development. Selection of the right patie...
Surgerized animals play a crucial role in preclinical research aimed at drug and medical device discovery into treatments for humans. When implementing new in-house surgical models to perform...
