Diagnostics World | Since last year’s landmark legal ruling that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s attempted oversight of laboratory-developed tests was not supported by current legislation, the research-use-only (RUO) pathway has emerged as an increasingly attractive alternative to the FDA-regulated in vitro diagnostic (IVD) route for diagnostic companies. There’s nothing wrong with that, provided that analytical rigor and performance are not compromised throughout the development and validation processes.

Diagnostics World | As one of the highest-mortality cancers, pancreatic cancer has long been seen as a death sentence. But just in the past year we have witnessed exciting new study results bringing new hope. We can imagine adding years of productive life, or even curing disease completely. There is a way to achieve this, and it’s through early detection.

Diagnostics World | Epigenetic methylation markers on your DNA can be used to predict your biological age, how soon you’ll die, or the development of various age-related diseases and morbidities. Researchers at the University of Southern California have extended these tests by looking at all of the gene transcription taking place as a function of each of five different popular clock predictors, increasing our understanding of the mechanisms.
