Hematologic Cancers: start in blood-forming tissue, such as the bone marrow and cells of the immune system and can affect the blood and lymph system. A few examples of hematologic cancers are leukemia, lymphoma, and multiple myeloma.
As many parts of the northern hemisphere move into the colder months and indoors, SARS CoV-2 has begun a second infection wave that has exceeded the first surge of cases in many global regio...
Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is a key analyte for liquid biopsy samples. Due to extremely low concentration and high degree of fragmentation, the extraction of cfDNA is technically challenging. Her...
