We are excited to announce the publication of the latest PrecisionBIOME® research paper in the International Journal of Molecular Sciences MDPI.

"Surface Topography, Microbial Adhesion, and Immune Responses in Silicone Mammary Implant-Associated Capsular Fibrosis" examines the relationship between silicone mammary implant surface roughness and its effects on antimicrobial inflammatory responses and proteome adhesion in wound environments.

NGS microbial analysis using PrecisionBIOME® revealed the microbiome associated with different silicone mammary implants (SMIs), exploring SMI topography-dependent microbial colonization.

We are very proud of our PrecisionBIOME® team for their contribution to this investigation over the past few years, and would also like to thank Ines S. and everyone else for their work on the paper.

We are thrilled to announce a significant milestone in our journey towards transforming cancer diagnostics: Pangea Laboratory has been granted Breakthrough Device Designation by the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) for our Bladder CARE™ Assay.

This non-invasive epigenetic assay has been approved for the quantitative detection of bladder cancer and Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC) DNA from urine specimens, utilizing the unique Pangea collection device. Our assay is poised to complement the current standard diagnostic procedures for the initial diagnosis of bladder cancer and UTUC in patients presenting with hematuria and suspected of having either cancer.

This recognition from the FDA is a testament to our team's unwavering commitment to advancing cancer diagnostics and underscores the potential impact of the Bladder CARE™ Assay in improving the accuracy and speed of urothelial cancer detection, ultimately enhancing patient outcomes.

Our sincere thanks to our research collaborators at USC Urology - Dr. Siamak Daneshmand, Dr. Hooman Djaladat, Dr. Gangning Liang, Dr. Alireza Ghoreifi, Dr. Sanam Seyedian, Dr. Saum Ghodoussipour, and everyone whose work has helped us achieve this breakthrough.

Our latest PrecisionBIOME® paper, "A Single-Center Pilot Study Investigating the Effects of a Native Cross-Linked Extracellular Matrix with Polyhexamethylene Biguanide to Manage Chronic Lower Extremity Wounds Exhibiting Bacterial Contamination," has been published in Wound Management & Prevention!

When it comes to dealing with difficult chronic wounds, a quantitative test like PrecisionBIOME® can be a game changer for effective care by accurately identifying pathogens in a biofilm. Plus, the crucial antimicrobial resistance data it provides support the proper management of bacterial contamination. 🦠🔬🩹

This Bladder Cancer Awareness Month, we're thrilled to share that the results of our joint work with the USC Institute of Urology was acknowledged and cited under "Future Directions" in the inaugural AUA/SUO guidelines for the Diagnosis and Management of Non-Metastatic Upper Tract Urothelial Carcinoma (UTUC).

Considering that approximately 30% of UTUC patients have a history of bladder cancer and 8-13% have concurrent bladder cancer at diagnosis, this recognition underscores the importance of research and innovation in improving the detection and treatment for urothelial cancers.

Bladder Cancer is more common than you think - every year, there are over 80,000 new cases diagnosed within the USA. As with all cancers, early detection matters.

Bladder CARE™ is a non-invasive test that can significantly detect the presence of cancer cells at a minimum concentration of 0.046% cancer cells in urine samples, which is the equivalent of 1 cancer cell for every 2,200 normal cells. Preliminary data has shown that this novel biomarker-based test can detect bladder cancer cells 7 months ahead of cystoscopy.

Any of these symptoms could be early warning signs of Bladder Cancer:

- Hematuria (blood or blood clots in the urine).
- Dysuria (pain or a burning sensation while urinating).
- Urinating frequently.
- Nocturia (feeling the need to urinate multiple times during the night).
- Urgency to urinate, but inability to pass urine.
- Unilateral lower back pain (pain on one side of the body).

May is Bladder Cancer Awareness Month! Share this post to raise awareness and support ongoing research in this field, like our novel early-detection test: https://pangealab.com/bladdercare

Congratulations to the PrecisionBIOME® team on the publication of their latest paper in BMC Oral Health!

By decoding the highly diverse microbiome around dental implants, they were able to show that argon plasma pre-treatment of implant healing abutments can significantly reduce soft tissue inflammation and plaque accumulation while preventing advanced biofilm formation.

Congratulations to our team members Paolo Piatti, Yap Ching Chew, Benjamin Jara, Lucy Sanossian, and Taikun Yamada on the publication of another paper.

We would like to thank the USC Institute Of Urology team at the USC Norris Cancer Center, especially Drs. Alireza Ghoreifi, Sanam Ladi Seyedian, Hooman Djaladat, and Siamak Daneshmand for their outstanding work exploring new clinical applications for Bladder CARE™ and showing how it significantly outperforms existing non-invasive modalities to detect UTUC.
