In the United States, cancer disproportionately impacts Black and African American individuals. Identifying genetic factors underlying cancer disparities has been an important research focus...
One of the central tenets of biology is that our genetics—our genotype—influences the physical characteristics we manifest—our phenotype. But with more than 25,000 human ge...
Organoids continue to gain traction in drug discovery efforts as they offer a more biologically relevant disease model than traditional approaches. But they aren't without challenges. Jo...
Current clinical methods used to identify epithelial ovarian cancer are often too late – when the cancer is at an advanced stage, leaving the patient with limited therapeutic options....
We started our experience with prostate cancer in 2002 with primitive robotic platforms. Our main goal was to provide an alternative to open and laparoscopic surgery....
Neoantigens are peptides derived from patient-specific and tumor-specific mutations, which can be recognized by the immune system and mediate tumor recognition that leads to immune destructi...
The tumor-associated microbiota is an inherent component of the tumor microenvironment across various human cancer types1. Although members of tumor-associated microbiomes can be identified...
The elegant and well-orchestrated molecular players responsible for normal neurodevelopment harbor the capacity for detrimental repercussions if mis-expressed at the wrong time, or in the wr...
Over the past 10 years, we have come to a greater understanding of the pathogenesis of men who succumb to prostate cancer. One critical aspect is the role of molecular drivers in patients wi...
Conventional imaging studies such as ultrasound, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging are increasingly detecting small renal masses, which are interpreted by radiologists as h...
Effective cellular therapies for solid tumors remain elusive. Advances in gene editing and synthetic biology offer great potential for improving the safety and functionality of engineered ce...
Natural killer (NK) cells, immune cells with an innate ability to recognize and eliminate cancer cells, have emerged as attractive effectors in immunotherapy, owing in large part to their ab...
Informed consent (IC) is a fundamental aspect of ethical clinical research, safeguarding the rights and well-being of participants. It empowers participants with comprehensive information ab...
As the opioid epidemic continues to claim lives and devastate families across the nation and world, we recognize September 21, 2023 as opioid awareness day. Opioids are analgesics with high...
Preanalytical errors and unsuitable samples can account for up to 70% of lab errors. 1 These errors can be attributed to improper specimen collection, specimen transportation, and specimen p...
