July 2017 Issue of The Translational Scientist

Welcome to the July issue of The Translational Scientist! This month, we take a look at the hunt for a better biomarker for Huntington’s disease, and the riddle of B cells in autoimmunity. In In My View, Eleftherios Diamandis calls for caution in cancer biomarker discovery due to the problems of poor research and false discovery. With many more articles appearing online this month, keep an eye on the website for more of the latest news and views in translational science.
