When cells become apoptotic, their DNA gets fragmented to a distinct size of 160–180 bp and released into the bloodstream. These cell-free DNAs remain for some time as circulating fragments in the blood and – similarly to other blood analytes – can be assessed through a simple blood draw. As apoptosis is a normal cellular… Read article →
Cancer stem cells (CSCs) represent an extremely small subpopulation of tumor cells and are characterized by the ability to self-renew and differentiate. This special group of tumor cells has a slower growth rate relative to other tumor cells, endowing CSCs with high resistance to traditional chemo and radiation therapies that target rapidly dividing cells (1)….

Dr. Christopher Stewart is a Postdoctoral Associate at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas. He completed his Ph.D. at Northumbria University Newcastle upon Tyne in 2014 and later moved to the United States for a postdoctoral fellowship. His research interests include the diversity and ecology of microbial communities and host responses in clinical samples… Read article →
Criminal investigations increasingly rely on biological evidence, resulting in an increase in the number of samples submitted to forensic laboratories for DNA profiling. It is extremely important for forensic laboratories to be able to handle this growing demand for forensic DNA testing, while still maintaining first pass success rates and turnaround times. To address this… Read article →
Lung cancer is the most common cancer worldwide, with non-small-cell lung carcinoma (NSCLC) accounting for more than 1 in 10 of all cancers diagnosed in men (1). More than 30 years ago, epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) was identified as being more concentrated in human lung tumors than in normal lung membrane tissue (2). EGFR… Read article →
