Noninvasive Method Determines Subclinical Childhood Celiac Disease

A new, simple and noninvasive method has been developed to determine whether a child aged two to four years of age suffers from celiac disease or not, without the necessity of a blood extraction. Silent celiac disease goes unnoticed to the eyes of the doctor because it presents minor symptoms, imperceptible even for the patient.   More...

Dried Cerebrospinal Fluid Spots Detect Anti-Japanese Encephalitis IgM

The use of filter paper as a simple, inexpensive tool for storage and transportation of blood, “Dried Blood Spots” or Guthrie cards, for diagnostic assays is well-established, but in contrast, there are a paucity of diagnostic evaluations of dried cerebrospinal fluid spots.  More...

Immune Cells Adapt Inefficiently in Patients with Uncontrolled HIV

Antibodies derived from a type of immune cell found in unusually high numbers in human immunodeficiency virus-infected individuals with chronically uncontrolled virus levels are less effective at neutralizing HIV than antibodies derived from a different type of immune cell more common in people without HIV.  More...

Age Should Be Considered in Developing Diagnostic Assays

In a new study on breast cancer, blood test results have demonstrated age-related differences in Tumor-Associated Antibodies, showing for the first time age-related differences that should be taken into consideration when developing diagnostic tests.  More...

Enzyme Signpost Points to Better Bowel Cancer Test

A sensitive screening tool for colorectal cancer that detects a special isoenzyme of pyruvate kinase, termed M2-PK, which leaks from the cancerous tissue into the bowel, can then be found in feces.   More...
