Diagnostics
Blood Test for Alzheimer's Granted Breakthrough Device Status by FDA
A blood test for the phosphorylated protein pTau-217 could be a critical step towards early diagnosis and screening of Alzheimer's disease.
Diagnostics
Early Diagnostic Blood Biomarker for Dementia Identified Using Proteomics
The team hopes to develop the biomarker into a test that could be used in GP surgeries. Early prediction of dementia could be a gamechanger for new Alzheimer's therapies.
Diagnostics
Investigating Biases in Diagnostics and Biomarkers: Three Case Studies
In the quest to improve diagnostics, new technologies are key, but so is overcoming entrenched bias.
Diagnostics
Machine Learning Metabolomics Approach Used to Diagnose Ovarian Cancer
Researchers have used an artificial intelligence model to analyse the metabolites of patients with or without ovarian cancer and have reported shocking accuracy of diagnosis.
Diagnostics
Using Biosensors for Biomarker Identification and Validation in Lung Cancer
Advancements in biosensors, notably graphene-based ones, show promise in swiftly identifying elusive lung cancer biomarkers, potentially revolutionising early diagnosis.
Diagnostics
Dynamic Biomarkers for Deep Immune Phenotyping in Autoimmune Disease
On-Demand Webinar featuring Dr Mo Jain, Founder & CEO of Sapient & Dr Tanya Nguyen, Head of Scientific Operations of Sapient
Diagnostics
A Wearable Ultrasound Patch for the Home Detection of Breast Cancer
Researchers from MIT have developed a wearable ultrasound patch that can image breast tissue, potentially facilitating the home detection of breast cancer. The patch can be attached a bra, and shows promise in detecting small cysts.
Diagnostics
Plasma Biomarkers Show Promise in CNS Trials for Alzheimer's Disease
Proteins in the brain and plasma of individuals with sporadic Alzheimer’s disease are altered, supporting the hypothesis that plasma biomarkers have utility in predicting early onset in cognitively unimpaired populations.
Diagnostics
ddPCR Approaches for Biomarker Detection and Analysis
The high sensitivity and specificity of ddPCR assays makes the approach well-suited for screening diseases and diagnosing cancer subtypes. Here, we explore some of the ways in which medical researchers are using the technology to pioneer detection of circulating biomarkers for liquid biopsies.
Diagnostics
Blood-Based Biomarkers and Liquid Biopsies in Cancer Treatment: Precision Oncology Approaches and Strategies
Blood is a rich source for biomarker development, and CTCs are increasingly proving themselves to be valuable in cancer prognosis and treatment prediction.
Diagnostics
High Sensitivity Phenotyping of Extracellular Vesicles by Customized, Single-Molecule Assays
On-Demand Webinar featuring Marina Cretich, Senior Researcher of the National Research Council of Italy at SCITEC-CNR
Diagnostics
Emergency Use Authorization Issued by FDA for Mpox Virus DNA Test
EUAs exist under FDA regulation to improve the availability of medical countermeasures, such as vaccines and diagnostic tests, during public health emergencies. With future pandemics a tangible possibility, further EUAs for other PCR tests and vaccines are all but certain.
