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
A brand new type of particle has been discovered in the human bloodstream. The sausage-shaped structures were first found by researchers at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) in mice with sepsis, and they appear to be related to inflammatory disea… Continue reading New particle discovered in the bloodstream of patients with sepsis
Preliminary research, from scientists at Case Western Reserve University, has discovered several blood-based biomarkers which can specifically indicate stroke damage to brain tissue. The goal of the research is to develop a simple blood test to rapidly… Continue reading Study promises novel blood test to detect minor, “hidden” strokes
With an excellent ability to conduct heat and electricity, graphene promises to find applications in all kinds of areas. And by crumpling the one-atom-thick sheets of carbon into irregular surfaces, scientists hope to extend its amazing properties even… Continue reading Scrunched up sheets of graphene act as ultra-sensitive cancer sensors
A compelling new study from the World Health Organization’s International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) is suggesting a simple biomarker in urine may be an effective predictive test for bladder cancer, signaling the disease’s presence up to 10 y… Continue reading Urine test detects bladder cancer up to 10 years before clinical signs
When Parkinson’s patients are diagnosed with the condition, there are still many unknowns around how the disease will develop and how it will impact their lives. While it is no crystal ball, a new blood test developed at Newcastle University and Cambridge University in the UK is offering hope of better patient management, with an ability to recognize early indicators of cognitive decline, dementia and progression of motor symptoms.

A new study is building on the growing association between the liver and Alzheimer’s disease. Suggesting a correlation between blood-based liver function biomarkers and several neurological signs of Alzheimer’s, the research hypothesizes the neurodegenerative disease has broader metabolic effects in organs other than the brain.
