[Circulating tumor cells: a new challenge for laboratory medicine].
Circulating tumor cells (CTCs) can be detected in the blood of patients with nearly all types of locally and metastatic adenocarcinomas. CTCs are epithelial cells whose release from a primitive tumor or a metastatic localization may be mediated by an epithelial-mesenchymal transition. Their pro-metastatic potential is still under debate because their phenotypes may be very heterogeneous, even w...
متن کاملPrecision medicine, technologies, and molecular diagnostics
Introduction: Genetics, cellular and molecular medicines are cutting-edge sciences and technologies that play an important role in improving human health and quality of life. In addition, medical and biological sciences have clearly shown that the onset of diseases differs from person to person due to their different genetic profiles and variations in molecular basis. Therefore, it is feasible ...
متن کاملLaboratory diagnostics for HIV infection.
Laboratory diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is fundamental for detecting and monitoring infection. Many diagnostic tools are available that are based on both detection of HIV-specific antibodies and virus antigen, or nucleic acid. As technology evolves, HIV testing assays are being improved providing better sensitivity and specificity. In this short review, we summarize...
متن کاملLaboratory diagnostics of botulism.
Botulism is a potentially lethal paralytic disease caused by botulinum neurotoxin. Human pathogenic neurotoxins of types A, B, E, and F are produced by a diverse group of anaerobic spore-forming bacteria, including Clostridium botulinum groups I and II, Clostridium butyricum, and Clostridium baratii. The routine laboratory diagnostics of botulism is based on the detection of botulinum neurotoxi...
