Blood Plasma Biomarkers Could Improve Diagnostic Tests for Alzheimer's Disease
Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, with the African American population at the greatest risk for developing the disease. The findings of the first study to focus on RNA molecules in plasma as biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease in African Americans could lead to the development of improved diagnostic tests for the disease.

Groundbreaking DNA Test Evaluates Biomarkers in 517 Cancer-Relevant Genes across 30 Types of Solid Tumors
Illumina Inc. (San Diego, CA, USA) has launched TruSight Oncology (TSO) Comprehensive (EU), a single test that assesses multiple tumor genes and biomarkers to reveal the specific molecular profile of a patient's cancer. More...17 Mar 2022
Single Cell Characterization Acral Melanoma Identifies Novel Targets for Immunotherapy
Acral melanoma is a rare subtype that represents roughly 3% of all melanoma cases. Unlike typical melanoma that occurs on sun-exposed skin, acral melanoma develops on the nonhair bearing skin of the soles, palm and nail beds. There is very little information known about the development of acral melanoma. More...16 Mar 2022
New Test Could Help Diagnose Lyme Disease Sooner and Determine Treatment Efficacy
Traditional tests for Lyme disease, caused by a bite from an infected tick, can stay positive for prolonged periods of time after treatment, making it difficult for clinicians to diagnose persistent Lyme disease cases. Now, researchers have identified just such a testing mechanism that detects a type of antibody that infected individuals produce against a substance the Lyme bacteria acquires from the host in order to grow.

Expression, Microbiome Features Provide Pre-Treatment Lung Function Clues for Pediatric Patients
Microbial community and host gene expression features in lung samples may provide pre-treatment clues to risky lung function features in children receiving bone marrow transplants from healthy donor individuals, new research suggests. More...15 Mar 2022
Next-Gen Graphene Biosensor Technology Enables Lab Quality Diagnostics of Infectious Diseases, Anytime, Anywhere
A new novel graphene-based electronic biosensor technology under development aims to provide rapid, simultaneous, lab-grade accuracy detection of an array of infectious diseases, anytime, anywhere, by any user. More...14 Mar 2022
Two Circulating Biomarkers Predict Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Psoriasis Patients
Blood levels of the protein biomarkers cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and N-terminal pro-brain-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) in patients with psoriatic disease (PsD) were found to be associated with carotid plaque burden and the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD) independent of traditional CVD risk factors.
