Genomic analysis lends insight to prostate cancer

By on Thursday, May 23rd, 2013 | No Comments

Researchers have used next generation genomic analysis to determine that some of the more aggressive prostate cancer tumors have similar genetic origins, which may help in predicting cancer progression.

Penn Medicine’s new center for personalized diagnostics unlocks cancer’s secrets

By on Friday, April 5th, 2013 | No Comments

Penn Medicine’s new Center for Personalized Diagnostics, a joint initiative of the department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine in the Perelman School of Medicine and the Abramson Cancer Center, is diving deeper into each patient’s tumor with next generation DNA sequencing. These specialized tests can refine patient diagnoses with greater precision than standard imaging tests and blood work, all with an aim to broaden treatment options and improve their efficacy.

IBM Watson Demo: Oncology Diagnosis and Treatment (2 min.)

By on Thursday, February 28th, 2013 | No Comments

The IBM Watson Cancer Diagnosis and Treatment Adviser demo was created in close collaboration with Memorial Sloan Kettering, one of the world’s preeminent cancer treatment and research institutions. The demo scenario follows the interactions of a hypothetical oncologist and patient as they move through consultations, tests, treatment options, patient preferences and pre-authorization. It showcases IBM Watson’s capabilities in natural language processing, hypothesis generation and evaluation, and machine learning.

Underlying mechanisms behind chronic inflammation-associated diseases revealed

By on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 | No Comments

Inflammatory response plays a major role in both health protection and disease generation. While the symptoms of disease-related inflammatory response have been know, scientists have not understood the mechanisms that underlie it. In new research, scientists mapped the complex interactions of proteins that control inflammation at the molecular level.

Influenza study: Meet virus’ new enemy

By on Friday, February 22nd, 2013 | No Comments

Virologists have discovered a new class of molecular compounds capable of killing the influenza virus. Working on the premise that too much of a good thing can be a killer, the scientists have advanced previous researchers’ methods of manipulating an enzyme that is key to how influenza replicates and spreads. The new compounds will lead to a new generation of anti-influenza drugs that the virus’ strains can’t adapt to, and resist, as easily as they do Tamiful.

HPV in older women may be due to reactivation of virus, not new infection

By on Thursday, December 13th, 2012 | No Comments

A new study suggests that human papillomavirus (HPV) infection in women at or after menopause may represent an infection acquired years ago, and that HPV infections may exist below limits of detection after one to two years, similar to other viruses, such as varicella zoster, which can cause shingles. The study highlights the need for additional research to better understand HPV infections and the role of HPV persistence and reactivation, particularly in women of the baby boomer generation.
