Researchers from Rice University have engineered bacteria to sense pH levels in intestines and glow green in the presence of inflammation. The bacteria was tested in mouse models of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), effectively indicating the beginning… Continue reading Engineered bacteria glow to help detect inflammatory bowel disease
Researchers from the Indiana University School of Medicine are one step closer to an objective clinical blood test for mood disorders. A robust new study is describing the development of a panel of blood-based biomarkers that can distinguish between de… Continue reading Blood test for depression & bipolar disorder one step closer to reality
One of the big challenges healthcare workers are facing in this global pandemic is identifying those COVID-19 patients most at risk of severe illness and death. COVID-19 certainly is more dangerous, on average, in the elderly or those with pre-existing… Continue reading Simple blood test predicts patients most likely to die from COVID-19
An international team of researchers has used machine learning to produce a novel blood test that can predict a young person’s risk of developing a psychotic disorder, such as schizophrenia, years before the condition develops.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Novel blood test predicts psychotic disorders years before they emerge
A newly developed test that measures a number of metabolites in urine can effectively determine not only the quality of a person’s nutritional intake, but whether they are on the right diet for their specific metabolism. The five-minute test creates a … Continue reading New urine test can tell if you are on the best diet for your body
A new blood test is promising a non-invasive way for clinicians to diagnose and classify brain tumors. The test will need further verification before it reaches clinical practice but it points to a novel way for doctors to detect brain cancer without t… Continue reading Brain tumor blood test promises new non-invasive cancer diagnostic
New research from the University of California San Diego is suggesting high levels of a certain blood-based biomarker may serve as an early warning sign of Alzheimer’s disease, two years before symptoms develop. The preliminary study has yet to be verified in larger cohorts of patients.

Two new studies are offering promising progress in the development of novel diagnostic tests to detect and monitor prostate cancer. The research presents a urine test that can detect the disease in its early stages and a blood test that may catch the c… Continue reading Promising progress on blood and urine tests for prostate cancer
An extraordinarily sensitive new blood test has been developed that promises to be able to effectively track the progression of breast cancer at its earliest stages. It is suggested the blood test could track the efficacy of drug therapies be… Continue reading New breast cancer blood test 100 times more sensitive than similar tests
A new research breakthrough uncovering the very earliest inflammatory mechanism triggered in celiac sufferers after consuming gluten could lead to be novel blood test making it substantially easier for clinicians to diagnose the disease…
