Biomarkers enable detection of rapidly aging organs & disease risk
Posted by ArielTechGeek 511 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Researchers have used a machine-learning model to analyze blood proteins to estimate the biological, as opposed to the chronological, age of bodily organs. It’s a way of predicting an apparently healthy person’s risk of developing conditions like heart failure, Alzheimer’s disease, and diabetes that may lead to earlier treatment.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Aging, Disease, Biom
Portable device detects Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s biomarkers on the spot
Posted by ArielTechGeek 532 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Because of the logistics and invasive procedures involved, many people put off getting tested for Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s diseases. Thanks to a new portable device, however, such testing could soon be performed non-invasively at just about any location.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: UC San Diego, Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's Disease, Neurological, Diagnostic dev
New prostate cancer biomarkers to help improve diagnosis and treatment

Researchers have identified three new prostate cancer biomarkers that improve the visibility of cancer cells used by pathologists to grade the disease’s severity. The novel technique could assist in determining which patients require urgent treatment and those who don’t, potentially improving treatment outcomes for millions of men.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Prostate cancer, B
Blood biomarkers reveal impact of tumor-removal surgery on brain cells
Posted by ArielTechGeek 699 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Surgery to remove brain tumors comes with risks, one being that it may cause damage to the surrounding brain tissues. Researchers have found that biomarkers found in the blood are a useful new tool for tracking damage on a cellular level, providing more detailed information than currently used techniques.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Brain, Surgery, Tumor, MRI, University of Got
Novel biomarkers enable new rapid test for preeclampsia
Posted by ArielTechGeek 744 days ago (https://newatlas.com)
Preeclampsia is a potentially deadly condition that affects 4% to 8% of pregnant women worldwide, but the condition can be difficult to diagnose. Now, a team of Australian researchers has developed a quick and accurate new test using nanoparticle-based technology and novel biomarkers.Continue ReadingCategory: Medical, ScienceTags: Pregnancy, Nanoparticles, Biomarkers, University of Technology Syd
