Multicancer Blood Test Aids Screen for Cancer Guide Intervention

As minimally invasive screening tests, liquid biopsies could help reduce cancer-specific morbidity and mortality through earlier detection. However, there is debate on how to effectively screen large populations for cancer, including individuals who do not have symptoms or history of the disease. More...

CRISPR-Based Microarray System Enables Massive Testing for Viral Pathogens

A novel microfluidic nucleic acid-based diagnostic system is capable of detecting a specific virus from a catalog of more than 160 human pathogens, including the COVID-19 coronavirus, simultaneously in more than 1,000 samples. More...

Targeted Next-Generation Sequencing Validated for Lysosomal Storage Disorders Diagnosis

Lysosomal storage disorders (LSDs) are a group of more than 50 inherited rare disorders characterized by the accumulation of specific undegraded metabolites in the lysosomes. This overstorage is commonly caused by a deficient or absent activity of one of the many lysosomal hydrolases or, in a few cases, by the deficit of other non-enzymatic lysosomal proteins. More...

Phosphorylated Tau Protein Blood Test Distinguishes Alzheimer’s Disease from Other Neurological Disorders

A recently developed blood test has confirmed the hypothesis that elevated levels of circulating phosphorylated tau 181 (pTau181) protein correlate with Alzheimer's disease (AD) and distinguish it from other neurological disorders that may be misdiagnosed as AD. More...
