Urine-Based Immunoassays Developed for Visceral Leishmaniasis
Visceral Leishmaniasis (VL), a severe parasitic disease, and can be fatal if diagnosis and treatment is delayed and diagnostic tests available for VL such as tissue aspiration are invasive and painful although they are capable of evaluating the treatment response. More...04 Nov 2016
Potential Maternal Blood Test May Predict Fetal Complications
Researchers have found that the protein DLK1 in blood of pregnant women is required for maternal metabolic adaptations to pregnancy and is associated with fetal growth restriction, and suggested that DLK1 could be used as a prenatal diagnostic marker in a relatively non-invasive test to help determine health of newborns and aid decisions on early elective deliveries.

Molecular Basis of Acute Cystitis Reveals Susceptibility Genes
Tissue damage is usually regarded as a necessary price to pay for successful elimination of pathogens by the innate immune defense, yet, it is possible to distinguish protective from destructive effects of innate immune activation and selectively attenuate molecular nodes that create pathology.

Neuropeptide May Serve as Biomarker for Neuroblastoma Patients
A study has found the common nerve protein Neuropeptide Y (NPY) to be elevated in the blood of those with an aggressive form of neuroblastoma, suggesting that NPY could serve as biomarker in a prognostic and/or treatment monitoring test, and as a new target for developing a more effective therapeutic drug for this early childhood cancer.
