Platelets are probably best known for their role in blood clotting, making scabs and related, if less salubrious, contributions to heart attacks and strokes. But these tiny, saucer-shaped blood cells ...
Scientists working at the intersection of photonics and nanotechnology are building tools that could identify cancer-related signals in blood samples collected five to eight years before a clinical ...
For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can exchange genetic material, in a process called horizontal gene transfer. This allows bacteria to rapidly evolve new traits, such as antibiotic ...
Scientists have developed a new artificial intelligence–powered blood test that may be able to detect early signs of serious ...
A study published in the journal Science reveals how jumping fragments of human DNA, a type of genetic parasite, destabilize the cancer genome. Unstable genomes are a fertile playground for cancer ...
GAITHERSBURG, Md.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--MagBio Genomics, Inc., a company that focuses on magnetic bead-based nucleic acids sample preparation products for sequencing and molecular diagnostics, announces ...
Professor Indraneel Mittra and his team show that DNA fragments from dying cells function as agents of horizontal gene transfer in mammalian cells. For decades, scientists have known that bacteria can ...
