Protein Biomarker Blood Test Accurately Detects Alzheimer’s Disease

A 19-protein biomarker panel distinguished Alzheimer’s disease (AD) patients from healthy individuals with greater than 96% accuracy and differentiated among the early, intermediate, and late stages of AD while monitoring the progression of the disease. More...

Sensitive PCR Test Predicts Treatment Response in Metastatic Head and Neck Cancers

A recently developed droplet digital PCR (ddPCR)-based assay for circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) from human papillomavirus HPV16 (which is responsible for almost 90% of HPV-positive oropharyngeal cancers) predicts treatment response in metastatic human papillomavirus related (HPV+) oropharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma (OPSCC).

Blood-based Liquid Biopsy Test Accurately Detects More Than Fifty Types of Cancer

Results from a clinical study confirmed that a noninvasive liquid biopsy-based blood test could accurately detect more than 50 types of cancer and could be used as a multi-cancer screening test among individuals at higher risk of the disease, including asymptomatic individuals aged 50 years or older. More...

A Nanowire-based Liquid Biopsy Method for Detection of Tumors of the Central Nervous System

Researchers have developed a sterilizable nanowire-based device that can efficiently extract urinary microRNAs (miRNAs) and used it as the basis of a liquid biopsy method to detect tumors of the central nervous system (CNS). More...
