New effort to develop molecular tools for early cancer detection under way

Article Abstract:

Scientists from 10 US research institutions are embarking on an ambitious project to speed the discovery of clinically useful protein biomarkers for use in diagnosing cancers at the earliest and most treatable stages. With $13.4 million in federal funding, two groups of biotechnology and cancer research institutions are trying to develop a standard set of tools and resources for proteomics research.

Kidney donor exchange program planned

Article Abstract:

Several hospitals and regional consortia across the country have developed donor exchange kidney transplant programs. The programs identify a patient in need of a kidney transplant who has a willing donor who is not compatible and match the patient-donor pair with another patient-donor pair that has the opposite type of incompatibility.
