Blood Test to Detect Protein Biomarkers Identified Using Breast Milk Could Enable Breast Cancer Screening
A simple blood test for women of all ages and risk levels could one day be possible thanks to a new set of protein biomarkers identified by researchers using breast milk. The newly identified biomarkers are for a specific type of cancer called invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC), one of the most common types of breast cancers, but the approach could be used to identify biomarkers for other types of breast cancer as well.

Thermo Fisher Launches CE-IVD Marked NGS Instrument for Diagnostic Testing
Thermo Fisher Scientific (Waltham, MA, USA) has launched the CE-IVD marked Ion Torrent Genexus Dx Integrated Sequencer, an automated, next-generation sequencing (NGS) platform that delivers results in as little as a single day. Designed for use in clinical laboratories, the fully validated system enables users to perform both diagnostic testing and clinical research on a single instrument. More...31 Mar 2022
Siemens sNfL Blood Test Predicts Risk of MS Disease Activity
The ADVIA Centaur serum Neurofilament Light Chain (sNfL) assay, developed by Siemens Healthineers (Erlangen, Germany) in collaboration with Novartis Pharma AG (Basel, Switzerland), quantitatively measures NfL in human serum and plasma. It is intended to be used in conjunction with clinical, imaging, and laboratory findings as an aid in identifying adult patients with Relapsing Multiple Sclerosis who are at lower risk versus higher risk of MS disease activity.

Rapid Test Predicts Sepsis Soon After Infection and Before Organ Damage
In a potential paradigm change for sepsis diagnostics, a new test predicted sepsis soon after infection in mice - well before blood clotting and organ failure - enabling early antibiotic treatment and markedly increased survival. More...30 Mar 2022
