Biomarker Test Detects Alzheimer’s Neurodegeneration in Blood

Scientists have applied their knowledge of molecular biology and biochemistry of tau proteins in different tissues, such as the brain, to develop a technique to selectively detect “brain-derived tau,” or BD-tau, a novel marker of Alzheimer’s disease neurodegeneration, while avoiding free-floating “big tau” proteins produced by cells outside the brain.

Real-Time PCR-Based Serological Diagnosis of Human Granulocytic Anaplasmosis

Human granulocytic anaplasmosis (HGA) is a tick-borne infection caused by the intracellular bacterium Anaplasma phagocytophilum, an emerging pathogen. HGA can manifest as a subclinical infection; however, most symptomatic persons have fever, myalgia, and headache associated with thrombocytopenia, leukopenia, and elevated transaminase levels.

Ultrafast, Ultra-Sensitive Protein Detection Method Enables Ultra-Early Disease Diagnosis

Methods to analyze trace amounts of proteins based on antigen–antibody reaction enable diagnosis at an early stage of many diseases, including cancer, dementia, and microbial infections. Now, a team of scientists has discovered a new principle underlying light-induced acceleration of antigen–antibody reaction, allowing for simple, ultrafast, and highly sensitive detection of proteins.
