  • Dark Matter

    “Dark matter” sounds like something George Lucas would tell us is at the heart of the empire. In reality, it’s the parts of the human genome that science has yet to identify -- which still sounds like it belongs in a sci-fi movie, but the discovery could provide researchers with a new type of specimen with which to analyze the human genome. A ...

    ADVANCE Discourse: Lab Knowing Let’s forget about money for a second. I know that can be difficult – what, with all of those pesky adult responsibilities and everything, but bare with me.  If money wasn’t an object, and your physician wanted to order a test that you knew wouldn’t be covered under your insurance, would you get ...

  • Full Circle

    The rise of personalized treatment has healthcare professionals completely rethinking the way they treat cancer. At the molecular level, each is different and should be treated accordingly, but similarities shouldn’t be ignored either. A study from the Cancer genome Atlas (TCGA) Research Network on endometrial tumors divided the cancer types into ...

  • Lab-on-a-Chip, Round 2

    Imagine a healthcare facility where a small sample of blood is taken as you walk in the door, just .25 attomoles -- you’d barely notice. They drop your sample into a small, handheld device and, by the time your physician has come to see you, they are ready to tell you if they would like further testing for diseases like Alzheimer’s or cancer ...

  • The Reanimator

    With genetic research has come the realization that cancers are unique -- not just in terms of where they are in the body, but in their molecular make up. Although the industry is focusing on personalized medicine as a treatment option recently, some researchers can’t help but wonder about the prospect of a universal treatment, a drug to fight ...

  • Feelings and Brain Scans

    During a hospital visit, a doctor will often ask about pain, but how can it be better calculated beyond just words? A story from NPR followed researchers led by Tor Wager, PhD, associate professor of psychology and neuroscience from the University of Colorado at Boulder, who found a way to measure pain by scanning the brain activity of those ...
