Almac Diagnostics announces pioneering genetic research on ductal carcinoma in situ

08-08-2007 · EurekAlert!

Today Almac Diagnostics announced a major study analyzing ductal carcinoma in situ tissue samples using its novel Breast Cancer DSA microarray. DSA research tools focus on the transcriptome of an individual disease, in this case breast cancer, and contain significant additional data relevant to the disease of interest that is not available on other generic microarrays.

Global community listens to TAU genetic researcher at EU Conference on Hearing Loss
07-09-2007 · EurekAlert!
Is hearing loss just one of those things that happens as we get older? Tel Aviv University is working towards finding a solution to deafness that will improve the quality of life for people everywhere. This week Prof. Karen Avraham represented a European consortium, EuroHear, at an international conference in France. With her Palestinian research colleague, Prof. Avraham is a leading figure in the field of hearing loss -- her landmark research in genetics has led to improved diagnostic tests which are currently being used today.

Ovarian cancer may mimic fallopian tube formation
03-06-2007 · EurekAlert!
A new study suggests that ovarian cancer cells form by hijacking a developmental genetic process normally used to form fallopian tubes. The discovery not only provides a new target for diagnostic and therapeutic interventions, but also opens new avenues for basic research in ovarian cancer pathology.

Identification of genetic risk factor for coeliac disease promises improved treatment
06-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
Researchers have identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease, an autoimmune disease affecting one in 100 of the population. The findings, made by an international research group investigating the causes of intestinal inflammatory conditions, could pave the way towards improved diagnostics and treatments for the lifelong complaint. Triggered by gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley and rye, currently the only treatment for coeliac disease is a life-long gluten free diet.

Breaking the medical image communication barrier
11-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
Using a new grid computing system, radiologists and pediatric oncologists at 40 hospitals all over North America are now quickly and securely exchanging high-resolution medical images. One hoped-for result will be that the doctors of young cancer patients will know more quickly whose treatment is not working and be able to change course. Others include making second opinions from specialists anywhere easily available, and quicker, closer monitoring of ongoing clinical research and diagnostic practice.
