Blood Biopsies as a Source to Determine Treatment Options for Metastatic Tumors
Cancer arises due to the accumulation of alterations in genes that control cell survival, growth, proliferation, and differentiation, which provides a distinct genetic profile of the cancer. This genetic profile is typically assessed using DNA and/or RNA obtained from a biopsy of the primary tumor and aids in providing a therapeutic strategy for dealing with the tumor. However, genomic instability and the ability to evolve to various interactions with microenvironmental cues, including therapeutic drugs, is a hallmark of cancer. Constant and unchecked…
Read MoreExploring the Potential of lncRNAs as Biomarkers for Rheumatoid Arthritis
Long noncoding RNAs, also known as lncRNAs, are a large and diverse class of transcribed RNA molecules that are longer than 200 nucleotides and do not code for proteins. Currently, around 35,000 lncRNAs exist in the human genome and are part of the regulatory class of RNAs. Some of these lncRNAs have been fully characterized and take part in gene inhibition or gene activation in mechanisms relating to chromatin modification and structure, direct transcriptional regulation, RNA processing events, protein activity and localization,…

Read MoreThe Role of CD56 During Invasive Aspergillosis
Aspergillus (A.) fumigatus is a species of mold that is found ubiquitously in nature and the inhalation of its spores by healthy adults is a common occurrence having a relatively harmless effect. However, for immunosuppressed patients suffering from hematological malignancies or undergoing hematopoietic stem cell or solid organ transplantation, this species of mold is responsible for invasive aspergillosis (IA), an infection that spreads to the blood vessels and into organs. Prognosis for IA is poor, with a mortality rate ranging from 60-90%…

Read MoreRegenerative Medicine – Overcoming Regulatory Barriers
Regulatory barriers often inhibit the timely delivery of cutting-edge cellular therapeutics to patients burdened with chronic diseases and disabilities. The Bipartisan Policy Center and Regenerative Medicine Foundation are trying to change this by recommending that Congress support a federally funded registry for regenerative cell therapies. This registry would help share the outcomes of potentially curative therapies so that the general public, clinicians, and researchers are able to learn from shared data. This would help inform decision-making and ultimately help accelerate the development…

The ever-present goal of the StemExpress Foundation is to improve the lives and outcomes of patients with all kinds of diseases. To that end, we are excited to be participating in a new lung cancer project! Researchers have created a new diagnostic tool to detect lung cancer earlier and in a less invasive way than traditional biopsies. In order to make this new screening available to the public, these scientists need small samples of blood from people with lung cancer so that…
