Mapping Genes Could Improve Cancer Diagnosis

Large-scale changes to the structure of the genome are often seen in cancer cells and scientists have found a way to detect these changes, which could enhance cancer diagnosis and aid the use of targeted treatments. More...

Blood Test Developed to Detect Rare Neurological Disease

A diagnostic blood test has been developed for a rare but treatable condition called De Vivo disease. Compared with current diagnostic tests that use an invasive procedure (lumbar puncture) or complex DNA analysis, this new test, will be able to screen for the condition rapidly, within 48 hours and with ease in both adults and children.

Heart Failure Associated with Depleted Intestinal Microbiota

It has long been known that heart failure and gut health are linked. The gut has a worse blood supply in instances of heart failure; the intestinal wall is thicker and more permeable, whereby bacteria and bacterial components may find their way into the blood. More...

Ultra-Early Inflammatory Biomarker Identified for TBI

Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is set to become the leading cause of neurological disability across all age groups. Currently, no reliable biomarkers exist to help diagnose the severity of TBI to identify patients who are at risk of developing secondary injuries. More...

Image: Myoblast fusion. This graphic depicts normal myoblast (early muscle cells with a single nucleus) fusing together to form myocytes (multinucleated muscle cells) during myogenesis. In Carey-Fineman-Ziter syndrome this cascade is disrupted because of a defect in the membrane protein myomaker (MYMK) required for cell-cell fusion (Photo courtesy of Darryl Leja, NHGRI).

Genetic Mutations Causing CFZ Syndrome Identified

Researchers have identified gene mutations that cause, via a defect in myoblasts fusion, the rare inherited muscle disorder Carey-Fineman-Ziter Syndrome (CFZS), and have thereby also uncovered a mechanism underlying muscle development. More...

Tear Substance Indicates Possible Nerve Damage in Diabetes Patients

Measurement of levels of substance P peptide in tears has been proposed as a method for determining possible nerve damage in individuals suffering from diabetes. More...

Urine Test Predicts Bladder Cancer Recurrence

A test that detects a specific enzyme in the urine is able to predict the likelihood of recurrence of disease in patients that have been treated for bladder cancer. More...
