World’s First Test Detects Diabetics at Risk of Kidney Disease before Symptoms Appear

Researchers have identified the genetic markers for people with diabetes who are at a risk of developing kidney disease. This paves the way for the development of a test that could identify adults with Type 1 diabetes who are at a risk of kidney disease before they show any symptoms, enabling the introduction of early-stage interventions by doctors.

ELISAs Reliably Detect Anti-CCHFV Antibodies in Acute Infections

Crimean-Congo haemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a life-threatening tick-borne viral disease included in the WHO priorities for research and product development for early diagnostics. EUROIMMUN (Lübeck, Germany), a PerkinElmer, Inc. (Waltham, MA; USA) company, has developed and subsequently evaluated ELISAs for the detection of specific IgM and IgG antibodies against the causative virus (CCHFV). More...

New Blood Test Tracks and Follows Neurodegeneration in Alzheimer's

A new blood test that specifically and selectively measures non-phosphorylated tau coming from the brain into the bloodstream meets an urgent unmet need for tracking neurodegenerative changes specifically in Alzheimer’s disease but not in other dementias. More...

Electrochemical Cell-Free Biosensor Directly Detects Influenza Antibodies in Blood at POC

Researchers have developed a new method for the rapid, inexpensive, yet quantitative and specific point-of-care detection of antibodies. The new method uses an electrochemical cell-free biosensor that can directly detect antibodies against diseases such as influenza in blood serum. More...

Highly Accurate Test "Fishes" For Respiratory Viruses Using DNA as Bait

A new test uses single strands of DNA as ‘bait’ to ‘fish’ for multiple respiratory viruses at once and delivers accurate results in less than an hour. The new approach tests for multiple viruses at once, allowing the right treatment to be administered quickly to the patients and minimizing the unwarranted use of antibiotics. More...

Cheap, Easy Blood Test Detects Cancer by Identifying Broken DNA

Researchers have reported progress on a blood test that is capable of detecting multiple cancers in a relatively simpler and less expensive way as compared to other "multi-cancer" early detection tests currently under development. More...

Simple Blood Test Could Screen for Common and Dangerous Pregnancy Complications

Scientists have discovered that short-chain fatty acids in blood can be used as biomarkers in testing for dangerous pregnancy complications, including pre-eclampsia, gestational diabetes and intrahepatic cholestasis which are associated with significant morbidity and mortality. More...
