Scientists at the Department of Energy's Pacific Northwest National Laboratory have found that their mass spectrometry-based technique, called PRISM, performed as accurately as standard clinical tests known as ELISAs. The technique should be able to speed up development of protein-specific diagnostic tests and treatment. Release Date: 9/3/2012
Black women make up a larger percentage of the Army than they do the general population, and are more likely to be diagnosed with hard-to-treat breast cancer than their fellow white soldiers. Release Date: 5/16/2012
