The lungs are a pair of spongy, air-filled organs located on either side of the chest (thorax). The trachea (windpipe) conducts inhaled air into the lungs through its tubular branches, called bronchi. The main function of the lungs is the process of gas exchange called respiration (or breathing). Lungs are inside of your rib cage.
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) have each gained attention as promising liquid biopsy markers, offering molecular insights into cancer progression, overall s...
Macrophages can mediate phagocytosis of cancer cells and cytotoxic tumor killing, and engage in effective bidirectional interactions with components of the innate and adaptive immune system....
Pathology Perspective: Discover the critical need for genomic testing in cancer and explore the differences between traditional tissue biopsies and liquid genomic profiling. We'll dive i...
Tumor genomic profiling can be complicated, especially for diseases that commonly have multiple different genomic biomarkers of interest, such as non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and color...
In the era of advanced biotechnology, automation plays a crucial role in accelerating cancer research. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) technology has revolutionized cancer research, but lab...
Epigenetic modifications such as DNA methylation have long shown promise as potential biomarkers to diagnose and guide treatment of many human diseases, including multiple types of cancers....
For patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC), tissue samples are typically small biopsies. These samples undergo standard of care evaluation for >10 biomarkers to identif...
Liquid biopsy is an emerging area of clinical research, particularly in the context of cancer. As a minimally invasive complementary or alternative approach to tissue biopsies, liquid biopsi...
