Direct Comparison of Diagnostic Performance of 9 Quantitative Fecal Immunochemical Tests for Colorectal Cancer Screening

A variety of fecal immunochemical tests (FITs) for hemoglobin (Hb) are used in colorectal cancer (CRC) screening. It is unclear to what extent differences in reported sensitivities and specificities reflect true heterogeneity in test performance or dif… Continue reading

The Function of ATPase Copper Transporter ATP7B in Intestine

The study shows that Cu-transporting ATPase ATP7B has an important role in maintaining Cu homeostasis in murine intestine. Loss of ATP7B function causes Cu deficiency and metabolic changes that may be relevant to pathophysiology of Wilson disease. Continue reading

Hepatitis E Virus Lifecycle and Identification of 3 Forms of the ORF2 Capsid Protein

Hepatitis E virus (HEV) infection is a major cause of acute hepatitis worldwide. Approximately 2 billion people live in areas endemic for HEV and are at risk of infection. The HEV genome encodes 3 proteins, including the ORF2 capsid protein. Detailed a… Continue reading
