Alzheimer's Disease Meta-Analysis Identifies New Risk Genes
The risk for late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (LOAD), the most prevalent dementia, is partially driven by genetics. Scientists have uncovered five new late-onset Alzheimer's disease risk genes in a genetic meta-analysis. They likewise confirmed 20 other genes previously linked to late-onset Alzheimer's risk.

Lateral Flow RPA Assay Developed for Cryptococcus in CSF
The most common presentations of cryptococcosis are meningitis and meningoencephalitis. Cryptococcal meningitis (CM) is a subacute meningoencephalitis and the most common cause of adult meningitis with very high mortality rates as well as vision and hearing loss in survivors. More...06 Mar 2019



Buruli Ulcer Pathogen Detected by Isothermal RPA Assay
Buruli ulcer (BU) is a neglected tropical disease caused by Mycobacterium ulcerans. The pathogenesis of BU is linked to the production of a polyketide toxin known as mycolactone, which is cytotoxic and has immunomodulatory properties and presents as nodules, plaques, ulcers and edema.
