Reversal Cells May Tip the Balance Between Bone Formation and Resorption in Health and Disease Investigators Report on a Possible "Missing Link" in The American Journal of Pathology
Philadelphia, PA, June 6, 2013 - By analyzing biopsy specimens from patients with postmenopausal osteoporosis and primary hyperparathyroidism, investigators have begun to pay increasing attention to "reversal cells," which prepare for bone formation during bone remodeling. The hope is that these reversal cells will become critical therapeutic targets that may someday prevent osteoporosis and other bone disorders. This study is first published online June 10, 2013, in The American Journal of Pathology.

Biomarker Identification May Lead to New Noninvasive Test for Colorectal Cancer Detection
Serum DNA Analysis Allows Detection of Early Disease, Say Researchers in The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics
Philadelphia, PA, June 7, 2013 - The average 5-year survival for colorectal cancer (CRC) is less than 10% if metastasis occurs, but can reach 90% if detected early. A new non-invasive test has been developed that measures methylation of the SDC2 gene in tissues and blood sera. This test detected 87% of all stages of colorectal cancer cases (sensitivity) without significant difference between early and advanced stages, while correctly identifying 95% of disease-free patients (specificity). The results are published in the July issue of The Journal of Molecular Diagnostics.
