PHOENIX, Ariz. Jan. 26, 2021 Breast cancer, even at its initial stages, could be detected earlier and more accurately than current techniques using blood samples and a unique proteomics-based technology, according to findings of a study led by the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), an affiliate of City of Hope.
Patrick Pirrotte, Ph.D., an Assistant Professor and Director of TGen s Collaborative Center for Translational Mass Spectrometry, and an international team of researchers developed a test that can detect infinitesimally small breast cancer biomarkers that are shed into the bloodstream from cells surrounding cancer known as extracellular matrix (ECM), according to the findings of their study recently published in the scientific journal
Study: Coronavirus Activates Antibodies From Previous Coronavirus Infections
This discovery could help in developing new therapeutic treatments.
Individuals who have contracted the coronavirus have been found to rely on antibodies created during infections from earlier coronaviruses to help fight the disease, according to a new study conducted by Northern Arizona University and the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen).
The research, published in the journal
Cell Reports Medicine, noted that the coronavirus isn’t humanity’s first run-in with a coronavirus. In fact, before SARS-CoV-2 the virus that causes COVID-19 humans have been confronted with at least six other types of coronaviruses.
the differences in the pre-existing antibody response identified by this study may possibly explain some differences in how severely COVID-19 disease affects old versus young people.

People with Covid may rely on antibodies created during infections from earlier coronaviruses to help fight the disease, says a new study that may partially explain the difference
