Prostate Cancer Diagnosed from Urinary Ribonucleic Acid
A test for noncoding ribonucleic acid molecules in urine may offer a way to detect prostate cancer that is more accurate and reliable than current methods using biomarkers such as prostate-specific antigen and prostate cancer gene 3. More...29 Mar 2016


Early Stage Breast Cancer Recurrence Linked to High Leukocyte Ratio
A high ratio of two types of immune system cell is linked to an increased risk of disease recurrence after a diagnosis of early stage breast cancer and the findings might guide future treatment and monitoring strategies, if prospective studies confirm the link. More...23 Mar 2016
Blood Test Accurately Detects Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis
Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis is a chronic, progressive and lethal lung disease characterized by scarring and reduction in the lungs' capacity to absorb oxygen. In the USA, around 100,000 people are currently affected by IPF, with approximately 30,000 to 40,000 new cases diagnosed each year. More...23 Mar 2016

Age Should Be Considered in Developing Diagnostic Assays
In a new study on breast cancer, blood test results have demonstrated age-related differences in Tumor-Associated Antibodies, showing for the first time age-related differences that should be taken into consideration when developing diagnostic tests. More...23 Mar 2016

Developing POC Tests for Alzheimer’s to Improve Monitoring and Management of the Disease
Toward development of a portable point-of-care biosensor for Alzheimer’s disease, a new review explores recent advancements in nano-enabling electrochemical beta-amyloid-sensing technologies. More...22 Mar 2016
Fibrin Network Changes in Neonates After Cardiopulmonary Bypass
Quantitative and qualitative differences in the hemostatic systems exist between neonates and adults, including the presence of “fetal” fibrinogen, a qualitatively dysfunctional form of fibrinogen that exists until one year of age. More...22 Mar 2016
