PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Despite the introduction of many new immunosuppressive medications, allograft rejection remains a significant complication in transplantation. The use of "liquid biopsy" to evaluate allograft function and detect early rejection has...
Ovarian cancer is a critical health issue for women nowadays. Its impact is significant because of its high mortality rate (324,603 worldwide), late-stage diagnosis and poor survival rate. Lack of screening tests, vague symptoms, misdiagnosis, and ag...
Predictive biomarker identification in cancer treatment has traditionally relied on pre-defined analyses, limiting discoveries to expected biomarkers and potentially overlooking novel ones predictive of therapy response. In this work, we develop a no...
BACKGROUND: The changes in DNA methylation patterns may reflect both physical and mental well-being, the latter being a relatively unexplored avenue in terms of clinical utility for psychiatric disorders. In this study, our objective was to identify ...

Advances in neuro-oncology have transformed the diagnosis and management of brain tumors, which are among the most challenging malignancies due to their high mortality rates and complex neurological effects. Despite advancements in surgery and chemor...
The discovery of circulating fetal and tumor cell-free DNA (cfDNA) molecules in plasma has opened up tremendous opportunities in noninvasive diagnostics such as the detection of fetal chromosomal aneuploidies and cancers and in posttransplantation mo...
The increasing focus of small extracellular vesicles (sEVs) in liquid biopsy has created a significant demand for streamlined improvements in sEV isolation methods, efficient collection of high-quality sEV data, and powerful rapid analysis of large d...
