Blood Test Can Estimate Presence of Alzheimer’s Disease Changes and Blood Vessel Damage in the Brain

Due to recent technological developments, blood-based biomarkers of disease are now available and researchers from the Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky (Lexington, KY, USA) believe they could be beneficial in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s and other dementias. A biomarker – short for biological marker – is a measurable indicator that captures what is happening in a cell or an organism at a given moment. More...

Molecular and Cytogenetic Characterization of Myelodysplastic Syndromes in Cell-Free DNA

Molecular and cytogenetic studies are essential in patients with myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS) for diagnosis and prognosis. Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) analysis has been reported as a reliable non-invasive approach for detecting molecular abnormalities in MDS, however, there is limited information about cytogenetic alterations and monitoring in cfDNA.
