Protein Microarray Detects Antibodies in Melioidosis Patients

The environmental bacterium Burkholderia pseudomallei is the cause of the infectious disease melioidosis with a high case-fatality rate in tropical and subtropical regions. Direct pathogen detection can be difficult, and therefore an indirect serological test, which might aid early diagnosis is desirable. More...

Urinary ELISA Kit Developed for Alzheimer's Disease Diagnosis

Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia, a general term for memory loss and other intellectual abilities serious enough to interfere with daily life and Alzheimer's disease (AD) accounts for 60% to 80% of dementia cases. More...

New Methods Detect Early Onset of Alzheimer's Disease

New methods to examine the brain and spinal fluid heighten the chance of early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and this may have important implications for early detection of the disease, the choice of drug treatment and the inclusion of patients in clinical trials. More...

Simple Method Developed to Characterize Immune Cells in Tumors

Despite recent achievements in the development of cancer immunotherapies, only a small group of patients typically respond to them and therefore predictive markers of disease course and response to immunotherapy are urgently needed. More...

Aggressive Breast Cancer Identified with Fluorescent Technique

Ductal carcinoma in situ (DCIS) of the breast is the most common type of non-invasive breast cancer and in DCIS, epithelial cells proliferate within ducts, which are surrounded by a double layer of myoepithelial cells and basement membranes. More...

Parkinson's Disease Biomarker Found in Urinary Samples

A biomarker helps physicians predict, diagnose or monitor disease, because the biomarker corresponds to the presence or risk of disease, and its levels may change as the disease progresses. More...
