CMD-related SNPs. CMD, coronary microvascular dysfunction; SNP, single nucleotide polymorphism. The findings suggest that a genetics-driven approach could revolutionize CMD diagnosis and treatment, ...

Serum thrombospondin-1 (TSP-1), vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), VEGF receptor-2 (VEGFR-2), and basic-fibroblast growth factor (b-FGF) as predictive factors for sorafenib plus ...

SNPs (single nucleotide polymorphisms) are valuable markers for mapping mutations and human disease-related genes. In the June issue of Nature Genetics, Wicks et al. describe a SNP-based strategy for ...

In a recent article published in Nature Medicine, researchers investigated the potential implications of single-nucleotide variations in gut-residing bacterial species (microbiome) on human health.

Association studies that correlate SNP patterns to disease risks are straightforward. Clues to the past can be subtler, but they are found at all levels of evolution--from the great branching points ...

Exclusive high dose rate brachytherapy (HDR-BT) for early stage non-small cell lung carcinoma: Results of a retrospective study in 226 patients ...

About 50% of patients with lung cancer present with metastatic disease; researchers have shown that breast cancer metastasis-suppressor 1 (BRMS1) suppresses metastases in non-small-cell lung cancer ...
