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.

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.

Fecal Microbiome Signature Predicts Pancreatic Cancer Risk
Researchers have identified a molecular signature of 27 microorganisms in stool samples that is able to predict whether an individual is at high risk of developing pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, the most common form of pancreatic cancer. More...10 Mar 2022
Stem Cell Architecture Drives Myelodysplastic Syndrome Progression
Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center discovered that treatment resistance in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) is caused by two distinct classes of stem cells and identified possible therapeutic approaches that target these cells. Their findings, which could have significant benefits for patients with disease progression, were published today in Nature Medicine. More...10 Mar 2022
Single Test for Over 50 Genetic Diseases Cuts Diagnosis from Decades to Days
A single DNA test has been developed that can screen a patient's genome for over 50 genetic neurological and neuromuscular diseases such as Huntington's disease, muscular dystrophies and fragile X syndrome. The new test avoids a 'diagnostic odyssey' for patients that can take decades. The team has shown that the test is accurate. They are now working on validations to make it available in pathology labs. They expect it to be standard in global pathology labs within five years. More...09 Mar 2022
