Infection detectives use disease 'fingerprints' to track common infections in children
Infectious disease specialists at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found a new method for identifying suspect viruses and bacteria that cause some of the most common acute infections in children. Traditionally, researchers have looked for clues to an infection by tracking down the virus or bacteria causing it. But that doesn’t always work because the bacteria or virus may not be prese...Genetic fingerprints identify brain tumors' origins
Genetic fingerprints that reveal where a brain cell came from remain distinct even after the cell becomes a brain tumor, an international coalition of scientists will report in the February 1 issue of Cancer Research. The finding adds a new layer of complexity to the quest to understand the causes of childhood brain cancers, according to senior author David H. Gutmann, M.D., Ph.D., the Do...Genetic Fingerprints Identify Brain Tumors' Origins

A team from the University of East Anglia in Norwich and Kings College in London, has revealed that specific antibodies in fingerprints could soon be used to find out not only the kind of drugs that people, especially criminals, could be on, but also identify diseases. Lead researcher, David A. Russell, and his team expect that this could soon help people gain information about the...
