Potential Biomarkers of AMD Identified in Human Plasma

Patients with even an early stage of age-related macular degeneration (AMD) carry signs of the disease in their blood that may be detected through special laboratory tests, according to a new study. The findings may lead to earlier diagnoses, better prognostic information, and ultimately more precise treatments for earlier stages of AMD, the leading cause of blindness in people over age 50 in developed countries.

Cholesterol Diagnosis Related to Breast Cancer Risk

Breast cancer is a malignancy that begins when cells grow abnormally in breast tissue. Although men can also develop breast cancer, it is much more common in women. Among women around the globe, breast cancer is the most common cancer and the fifth most common cause of cancer death. In 2012, nearly 1.7 million new cases, a quarter of all new cancer cases in women, were diagnosed worldwide. More...
