A heat-map, where red shows high levels of a compound, and blue shows low levels of a compounds, reveals the link between certain metabolites and dementia. Compounds in sub-group A were typically higher in dementia patients and lower in healthy elderly people. Compounds in sub-group B-E showed the opposite effect (Photo courtesy of Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology)

Metabolic Biomarker Panel Shows Promise for Diagnosis of Dementia

A biomarker panel based on five groups of metabolites was shown to be potentially useful for diagnosis and therapy of various forms of dementia, such as Alzheimer’s disease. More...

Image: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia: bone marrow aspirate smear reveals increased blasts which are small to medium in size with high nuclear-to-cytoplasmic ratios, round to irregular nuclei, smooth chromatin, and scant basophilic agranular cytoplasm. Some background maturing myeloid cells are also present in this case (Photo courtesy of Karen M. Chisholm, MD, PhD)

Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia Risk Linked to Genetically Mediated Increase in Lymphocytes

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a cancer of the lymphoid line of blood cells characterized by the development of large numbers of immature lymphocytes. As an acute leukemia, ALL progresses rapidly and is typically fatal within weeks or months if left untreated. More...

Blood Biomarkers Predict Likelihood of Castleman Disease Treatment Response

Biomarkers have been found in the blood that can be used to predict which patients with idiopathic multicentric Castleman disease are more likely to respond to siltuximab, the only [U.S.] Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved treatment for the disorder. More...
