AI Diagnostic Tool Could Deliver Results in Two Minutes Using Fingertip Sample
Scientists developing a platform that would use AI to speed up the process of detecting biomarkers in biofluids have shown that the concept could work, paving the way for faster test results for health conditions such as cardiovascular disorders, joint quality, and Alzheimer’s. More...21 Oct 2022


Periodontal Rapid Diagnostic Test Could Calculate Risk for Heart and Lung Disease
Researchers developing a rapid test for gum disease expect the technology - a probe for use in point of care settings such as dental surgeries or pharmacies - to play a pivotal role in early detection of heart or lung disease, type 2 diabetes and rheumatoid arthritis. More...21 Oct 2022


Gene Expression Profiling of Mucinous Ovarian Tumors Identifies Prognosis Markers
Advanced stage mucinous ovarian tumors have poor chemotherapy response and prognosis and lack biomarkers to aid Stage I adjuvant treatment. Differentiating primary mucinous ovarian carcinoma (MOC) from gastrointestinal (GI) metastases to the ovary is also challenging due to phenotypic similarities. More...18 Oct 2022

Link Identified Between Mitochondria and Pancreatic Cancer Risk
Tumors invariably rewire their metabolism to promote cellular plasticity, adapt to ever-changing nutrient availability and acquire traits of aggressive disease, including metastatic competence. Cancer metabolism has long been equated with the preferential utilization of glycolysis by tumor cells even when oxygen is present. More...18 Oct 2022

Nucleic Acid Amplification Technology to Help Develop Instrument-Free Assays
A new ambient amplification method could introduce an unprecedented robustness into molecular detection assays because it enables maximum amplification without heat-activation and in a range of temperatures, opening up various opportunities for point-of-need testing in different temperature and geographical settings. More...18 Oct 2022
