Known as a Phenotype Analyzer Chip, the diagnostic device can detect minute biological particles in a patient’s bloodstream, providing clues as to how glioblastoma is responding to treatment. It works by testing small samples of blood and identifying messenger cells known as extracellular vesicles that originate from glioblastoma tumour tissue. Developed at the University of … Read more
Prediabetes is an extremely heterogeneous metabolic disorder. Scientists from several partner institutes of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD) have now used artificial intelligence (AI) to identify epigenetic markers that indicate an elevated risk of complications. A simple blood test could be sufficient to identify individuals at high risk of developing type 2 diabetes and … Read more
A simple blood test can help detect cancer in patients with non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain or weight loss. This is according to a Swedish study from Karolinska Institutet, Danderyd Hospital and others, published in Nature Communications. When patients seek care for non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain or weight loss, it is often … Read more

ST. PAUL, Minn., May 25 (UPI) — A new rapid blood test for newborns could potentially detect genetic mutations linked to thousands of rare diseases all at once, greatly improving on current inefficient detection methods, according to a study to be presented Monday. The new test developed by Australian scientists has proven highly accurate in … Read more
Two new advanced predictive algorithms use information about a person’s health conditions and simple blood tests to accurately predict a patient’s chances of having a currently undiagnosed cancer, including hard to diagnose liver and oral cancers. The new models could revolutionise how cancer is detected in primary care, and make it easier for patients to … Read more
Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a blood test capable of detecting cancers, the ways cancer resists treatments and tissue injury caused by non-cancerous conditions. The new test analyzes RNA molecules in the bloodstream. This type of RNA is called cell-free RNA because the tiny molecules no longer inhabit a cell. There are always fragments of … Read more
Researchers have shown that a simple blood test for plasma p-tau181 can flag subjective cognitive decline, an early but biologically distinct stage in Alzheimer’s, years before traditional symptoms appear. Study: Blood biomarkers confirm subjective cognitive decline (SCD) as a distinct molecular and clinical stage within the NIA-AA framework of Alzheimer´s disease.

Scientists have developed a fast, non-invasive blood test that can detect Parkinson’s disease before tremors begin. By measuring RNA fragments that reflect brain pathology, the test offers new hope for early diagnosis and targeted intervention. Study: Pre-symptomatic Parkinson’s disease blood test quantifying repetitive sequence motifs in transfer RNA fragments. Image Credit: Kateryna Kon / Shutterstock In a … Read more
