­NON-INVASIVE PROFILING OF URINARY TRACT TISSUES WITH URINE LIQUID BIOPSY
­NON-INVASIVE PROFILING OF URINARY TRACT TISSUES WITH URINE LIQUID BIOPSY Researchers at Stanford and UCSFhave determined methods of performing cell-free RNA (cfRNA) transcriptomics and metabolomics on urine samples. Urine is assayed alongside blood in medicine, however current clinical diagnostic tests exploit only a minor fraction of its biomolecular...

Non-invasive diagnostic and prognostic assay for early stage lung cancer
Abstract: In the United States alone, one of four cancer deaths occur from lung cancer and there are over 8 million individuals considered to be at high-risk due to cigarette smoking and other behaviors. It's well known that early detection of cancer significantly improves survival of this disease, however a lack of lung cancer screenings and analysis...

Rapid Colorimetric Detection of Zika Virus from Serum and Urine Specimens by RT-LAMP (Reverse Transcription Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification).
The Zika virus (ZIKV) can be passed from a pregnant woman to her fetus. Resulting infection by this virus can cause early miscarriage and a pattern of severe birth defects in fetuses and infants. Therefore, a rapid diagnostic assay that can be performed throughout pregnancy in a clinical setting is vital for prenatal care of women living in areas where...

Conditionally Immortalized Human Podocyte Cell Lines
Podocytes, cells of the visceral epithelium in the kidneys, are a key component of the glomerular filtration barrier. Podocyte damage and loss contribute to the initiation of glomerular diseases. NIH investigators recently established long-term urinary cell cultures from two patients with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and two healthy volunteers,...
