A multi-institutional team of medical researchers has found that measuring the activity of four specific genes in pediatric patients suspected of having appendicitis can predict whether the case is simple or perforated. In ...
Immunotherapy increases survival rates in kidney cancer, but does not work for everyone. A Leuven research team has developed a new method to predict which patients will benefit from it. The team of Francesca Finotello (Computational ...
