Non-coding Regions of the Genome in Microglia Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease Risk
A recently published paper linked risk of developing Alzheimer’s disease (AD) to enhancers - non-coding DNA regions of the genome - that were present in microglia but not in other types of brain cells such as neurons or astrocytes. More...28 Nov 2019
LDL Subclasses Ratio Predicts Cardiovascular Disease Risk More Accurately than LDL-cholesterol Alone
Measurement of low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol may a less effective way to predict risk of cardiovascular disease than is the further analysis of the relative proportions of LDL subclasses. More...27 Nov 2019
Mycobacterium Infection Found in Gastric Patients’ Stomachs
Development of gastric diseases such as gastritis, peptic ulcer and gastric cancer is often associated with several biotic and abiotic factors. Helicobacter pylori infection is such a well-known biotic factor. However, not all H. pylori-infected individuals develop gastric diseases and not all individuals with gastric diseases are infected with H. pylori. More...26 Nov 2019
Novel, High-Accuracy Blood Test Can Screen for Multiple Cancers
A new targeted methylation-based assay has been developed that is able to screen blood samples for more than 20 types of cancer at all stages, including lung cancer, with high accuracy and it also correctly pinpoints the tissue of origin (TOO). More...26 Nov 2019
Crohn's Disease-Associated Bacteria Tolerate Antibiotics
Crohn's disease is a chronic disease that causes inflammation and irritation in the digestive tract. The disease is characterized by an imbalance in the intestinal microbiome. In particular, adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) strains have been implicated in the disease. More...26 Nov 2019
