Cysteine-Rich 61 Biomarker Reflects RA Disease Activity
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease that causes progressive articular damage, functional loss, and comorbidity. Until now, the exact pathological processes involved in RA remain incompletely understood. More...05 Jun 2019

Urinary Biomarkers Diagnose Serious Kidney Allergic Reaction
Acute interstitial nephritis is a condition marked by inflammation and swelling of the renal tubules, the tiny portals in the kidneys where blood is filtered. As a result, the tubules cannot properly reabsorb water and useful organic substances, such as glucose and amino acids, or secrete waste products such as urea and creatinine into urine. More...27 May 2019

Diagnostic Process Detects Alzheimer’s Years before Symptoms Appear
Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is accompanied by misfolding of amyloid-β (Aβ) and tau from monomeric into β-sheet–enriched pathogenic species. This process is suggested to precede about 10 to 15 years before clinical onset of the disease. More...23 May 2019

Simple and Inexpensive Ebola Virus Disease Test Developed
Ebola and Marburg viruses can cause severe bleeding and organ failure, with fatality rates reaching 90% in some outbreaks. The diseases spread through direct contact with bodily fluids of an infected person, monkey, gorilla, chimpanzee or bat. More...21 May 2019

Renal Transplant Rejection Assessed by HLA Antigen Bead Assay
Acute cellular rejection (ACR) is associated with complications after kidney transplantation, such as graft dysfunction and graft loss. Early risk assessment is therefore critical for the improvement of transplantation outcomes. More...21 May 2019

Blood Test May Predict Cardiovascular Disease
According to the latest statistics from the American Heart Association (AHA), almost half of the people living in the USA have some form of cardiovascular disease. In fact, according to 2016 figures, 121.5 million adults in the USA, or 48% of the entire population, have cardiovascular disease (CVD), which is a cluster of conditions that includes hypertension.
