Blood tests may be able to guide treatment discussions for patients with metastatic cancer

As cancers grow and potentially spread to new parts of the body, they often shed cells and DNA into the blood stream. DNA can be analyzed for both the amount of DNA present and whether any potential mutations exist that may aid providers in deciding on treatments.

Study reveals a promising therapeutic target for Alzheimer's disease

In a recent search for gene variants associated with Alzheimer's disease (AD), several affected families showed a mutation in an enzyme called protein kinase C-alpha (PKCα). Family members with this mutation had AD; those without the mutation did not.
