New Blood Cholesterol Testing System Is Cheaper, More Efficient, and Faster

Scientists have developed a new sensor device for determining cholesterol levels in the blood. The system does not use protein compounds, namely enzymes. Chemists replaced them with an inorganic analogue - copper chloride. This allowed to make the process of creating cholesterol meters cheaper, to make blood testing easier, faster and more accessible.

New Analyzer Monitors Blood Ammonium Levels at POC to Facilitate Quick Medical Decisions

Researchers have developed an analyzer that monitors the level of ammonium in the patient’s blood using a decentralized method at the POC, instead of sending blood samples to be analyzed in hospital laboratories, where traditional equipment is used. More...

Urine Bicarbonate Test Offers Safe Quantification of CFTR Function in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

A study of patients with cystic fibrosis has found that challenged urine bicarbonate excretion may offer a new, simple, and safe quantification of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) function and the extent of its pharmacologic improvement. More...

Cell-Specific Bioorthogonal Tagging of Glycoproteins Developed

Altered glycoprotein expression is an undisputed corollary of cancer development. Understanding these alterations is paramount but hampered by limitations underlying cellular model systems. For instance, the intricate interactions between tumor and host cannot be adequately recapitulated in monoculture of tumor-derived cell lines. More...

AI Combined with Molecule-Making Machine Could Make Complex Chemistry Automated and Accessible

A research team has combined AI, “building-block” chemistry and a molecule-making machine to find the best general reaction conditions for synthesizing chemicals important to biomedical and materials research – a finding that could speed innovation and drug discovery as well as make complex chemistry automated and accessible. More...

Lipidomic Determinants Profiled for Human Diabetic Neuropathy

Peripheral neuropathy is a common complication of type 2 diabetes, ranging in prevalence from 10% to over 50% in various cohorts. Peripheral neuropathy symptoms manifest as a loss of sensation and pain in a length-dependent manner. Peripheral neuropathy in type 2 diabetes remains recalcitrant to effective treatment; glucose control only marginally prevents neuropathy onset and development. More...

Synovial Fluid NGAL Accurately Diagnoses Prosthetic Joint Infection

Prosthetic joint infection (PJI) is a serious complication that is difficult to diagnose after joint arthroplasty and seriously affects the physical and mental health of patients. Current studies suggest that PJI is a relatively limited infectious disease, and the synovial fluid (SF) biomarkers more directly reflect the nature and extent of inflammation. More...
