Whole Genetic Code of IVF Embryos Scanned for Mutations

Currently, the methods available for preimplantation genetic diagnosis of in vitro fertilized embryos do not detect de novo single-nucleotide and short indel mutations, which have been shown to cause a large fraction of genetic diseases.  More...

Simple Method Monitors β-Cell Death in Type 1 Diabetes Individuals

The β-cell killing that characterizes type 1 diabetes is thought to begin years before patients present clinically with metabolic decompensation; however, this primary pathologic process of the disease has not been measured.  More...

Simple Blood Test Can Predict Dementia Risk

A new biomarker has been identified that can predict the risk of developing dementia by way of a simple blood test which in the long term could mean better prevention and at least postponement of the illness and at best evading the development all together.  More...
