Parkinson's Disease Risk Indicators Found in Diverse Tissues
Tiny changes in DNA that have been linked to Parkinson's disease, the second most common neurodegenerative disorder after Alzheimer's, were found not only in brain cells, where they were expected, but also in liver, fat, immune and developmental cells. More...18 Aug 2016

Biomarker of Aggressive Prostate Cancer Discovered
The level of a specific molecule present in prostate tumors is an indicator of whether the cancer is aggressive and likely to spread and this will aid future clinical tests to help doctors decide how best to treat prostate tumors. More...18 Aug 2016
High Plasma Cortisol Levels Associated with Global Cognition Deterioration
Healthy older people with high plasma cortisol levels show a significantly greater risk of the presence of beta-amyloid in the brain, in addition to greater declines in global cognition over 54 months, compared with those with low cortisol levels. More...17 Aug 2016

Particle Size Not Cholesterol Determines Capacity of HDL to Reduce CVD
Results of a recent study suggested that the number and size of high-density lipoprotein (HDL) particles in the blood were better indicators of cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk than was the classical measurement of HDL-cholesterol. More...16 Aug 2016

Novel Gene Discovered for Hereditary Colon Cancer
The formation of large numbers of polyps in the colon has a high probability of developing into colon cancer, if left untreated. The large-scale appearance of polyps is often due to a hereditary cause; in this case the disease can occur in multiple family members. More...08 Aug 2016
Gene Testing Simplified for Women with Ovarian Cancer
A new streamlined approach to genetic testing for women with ovarian cancer provides testing rapidly and affordably, allowing many more patients to benefit from personalized cancer management and their relatives to benefit from cancer prevention strategies. More...04 Aug 2016
