First-Ever Blood Test Detects Parkinson’s Disease
To date, there have been neither blood parameters nor imaging examinations to produce a definite diagnosis of Parkinson's disease, let alone early recognition. Now, researchers have developed a method that reliably detects protein changes in blood that are typical of Parkinson's disease. More...24 Jun 2022


Blood Test Predicts Likelihood that Nonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Will Progress to Liver Cancer
A bioinformatics approach was used to transform a 133-gene panel, which could predict the likelihood of a patient with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) progressing to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), into an easily performed four-protein blood test. More...23 Jun 2022
