Research and Development: innovative activities performed by corporations or governments for the creation, discovery and advancement of services and products.
Multidimensional molecular characterization has led to a tsunami of cancer data. Precision Medicine assumes that new understanding and better interventions will flow from this “Big Data...
Detection of rare mutations is required for reliable identification of mutations in liquid biopsies and heterogeneous tumors. Yet low-level mutation detection remains a technically challengin...
The 95% failure rate of anticancer therapeutic being approved after positive Phase III trials suggests that existing pre-clinical approaches and tools are inadequate predictors of clinical ou...
Background: The extracellular vesicle (EV) research field has dramatically increased in the last five years. Using a high-speed flow cytometric sorter, EVs may be isolated at high...
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...
Is your lab constantly challenged by case back log while trying to validate new methods to identify designer drugs? Your challenge is common to many forensic toxicology labs around the world....
While TDM is routinely used in a number of medical fields, it has not gained wide utilization in oncology. There is a growing body of evidence demonstrating that current dosing methods based...
Melanoma, a cancer of pigment-producing cells, accounts for nearly 200,000 new cases of cancer reported each year worldwide. It is the deadliest skin cancer. Alarmingly, in the U.S., the inci...
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...
A major goal of molecular diagnostics is to find a sensitive and specific means for detecting and quantifying DNA fragments from rare cancer cells (by virtue of an identifying somatic mutatio...
Biomarkers, with their associated “tsunami” of publications, represent what is arguably one of the largest areas of scientific inquiry in the history of biomedicine. Touted as the...
Endometrial adenoarcinoma is a common cause of gynecological cancer death in Europe and North America. The most dominant subtype, Endometrioid Endometrial Cancer (EEC) accounts for >80% of...
Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a significant contributor to cancer-related mortality in the United States and worldwide. Current treatments are largely ineffective: single agent and combin...
The management of prostate cancer (PCa) continues to evolve and does so at a rapid rate. Research and technological developments continue to refine our definitions and management of this comp...
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small, naturally-occurring non-coding ribonucleic acids with sizes between 18 and 40 nucleotides (nts) that have been demonstrated to play a significant role in the re...
The Warburg effect or aerobic glycolysis is a well-known cancer metabolism phenomenon and serves as an established test for tumor detection with FDG-PET scanning technology. Cancer cells swit...
The landscape for treatment options in metastatic castration resistant prostate cancer has changed dramatically since 2010. There have been more therapies approved since 2010 than in the prio...
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...
Using the NSGTM mouse (NOD.Cg-Prkdcscid Il2rgtm1Wjl/SzJ), JAX In Vivo Pharmacology Services has combined the human CD34+ hematopoietic stem cell engrafted NSGTM (hu-CD34 NSGTM) with human pat...
The genome determines changes of the transcription profile upon environmental changes and finally determines how a cell reacts. A comparative genome and transcriptome analysis of the same sam...
