Focused-Ultrasound-Mediated Liquid Biopsy to Facilitate Diagnosis of Neurodegenerative Disorders
New research has found that using focused-ultrasound-mediated liquid biopsy in a mouse model released more tau proteins and another biomarker into the blood than without the intervention. This noninvasive method could aid the diagnosis of neurodegenerative disorders, according to the researchers. More...01 Feb 2023

Blood Test Predicts Alzheimer's Risk 3.5 Years Before Clinical Diagnosis
A new study has found that a blood-based test can predict the risk of Alzheimer’s disease up to 3.5 years before clinical diagnosis. The study is based on the idea that components in the human blood are capable of modulating the formation of new brain cells, a process called neurogenesis which occurs in the hippocampus that plays a role in learning and memory.

Novel Biomarker-Based Tests to Predict Response to Drugs for Treatment of Chronic Kidney Disease
It is estimated that as many as 9 out of 10 adults with chronic kidney disease (CKD), and about 2 out of 5 adults with severe CKD are unaware that they have the condition. Now, a consortium of industry, academic and clinical research leaders aims to change that by developing personalized drug response tests in CKD. More...30 Jan 2023

Newly Identified Protein Biomarkers in Blood Predict Sudden Cardiac Arrest Before it Strikes
Researchers have identified a panel of novel blood biomarkers specifically associated with sudden cardiac arrest. These biomarkers have the potential to enhance the clinical prediction of sudden cardiac arrest. More...27 Jan 2023

Blood Test Identifies Osteoarthritis Progression More Accurately than Current Methods
A new blood test that can identify progression of osteoarthritis in the knee has proved to be more accurate than the current methods, providing researchers with an important tool to speed up research and discover new therapies. More...27 Jan 2023
