Non-Invasive Saliva Test Predicts Future Risk for Alzheimer's

A new non-invasive test can predict the risk of an individual developing Alzheimer’s disease from a simple saliva sample and also provide greater insight into the risk of cognitive decline in existing patients.  More...

Image: The CFTR protein is a channel protein that controls the flow of H2O and Cl- ions into and out of cells inside the lungs. When the CFTR protein is working correctly, as shown in Panel 1, ions freely flow in and out of the cells. However, when the CFTR protein is malfunctioning as in Panel 2, these ions cannot flow out of the cell due to a blocked channel. This causes cystic fibrosis, characterized by the buildup of thick mucus in the lungs (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons)

A Urine Test for Detection and Management of Cystic Fibrosis

A simple urine test was developed that both identifies individuals with cystic fibrosis and determines the effectiveness of the drug treatment being used to control the disease. More...

Gene Signature Identifies Patients with Long-term Lyme Disease

A transcriptomics approach was used to establish a 35-gene signature that could be used to identify individuals with long-term Lyme disease and distinguish them from those with the acute form of Lyme disease and from healthy individuals. More...
