Leeches may be creepy, but many people find hypodermic needles even creepier. That’s one of the reasons why scientists have developed a new leech-inspired blood collection device, which draws blood samples without the need for a big jab.Continue Readin… Continue reading Leech-inspired device may make for kinder, gentler blood sampling
There’s a global shortage of blood supplies needed for life-saving transfusions due to factors that include an aging population with a higher demand for it and a lack of volunteer donors. However, even if there was an ample blood supply, it’s not as si… Continue reading Bacterial enzyme strips away blood types to create universal donor blood
The MAX30105 is an optical sensor capable of a great many things. It can sense particulate matter in the air, or pick up the blinking of an eye. Or, you …read more Continue reading This Air Particulate Sensor Can Also Check Your Pulse Rate
Healthcare professionals, pilots, truck drivers and shift workers have likely all experienced sleep deprivation, which negatively affects performance, safety, and quality of life. Researchers have developed a blood test that can accurately detect wheth… Continue reading Blood test detects sleep deprivation with 99.2% accuracy
A new technique, which involves melting bacterial DNA found in blood samples, could deliver diagnoses of potentially fatal infections faster than ever before. Results may be obtained in a few hours, instead of days.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, Sc… Continue reading Bloodborne pathogens quickly ID’d by melting their DNA
It can be hard to motivate yourself to take preventative measures against heart attack, if you don’t know if you’re even at risk of having one. According to new research, however, a standard blood test can now provide that information.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Standard blood testing may provide warning of impending heart attack

People with high blood pressure may soon be able to swap the daily pills for an injection every few months. A phase 2 clinical trial has shown that a drug called Zilebesiran can drastically reduce blood pressure for long periods of time with no side ef… Continue reading New drug given every few months reduces high blood pressure in trial
Researchers have identified a blood protein that can be used as a marker of gastric and other cancers and is more accurate than existing diagnostic biomarkers, even in the early stages of the disease. The simple test may lead to the earlier diagnosis o… Continue reading Gastric cancer biomarker nearly 90% accurate, even in early stages
Researchers have developed a quick, cheap, and highly sensitive blood test to detect a telltale protein produced by cancer cells. The test can pick up a range of cancers before symptoms appear and could be key to early diagnosis of the disease.Continue… Continue reading New quick, cheap blood test may detect cancer before symptoms appear
