A Novel Capsule-Based Smell Test for Diagnosis of Neurological and Respiratory Diseases

To aid in diagnosing diseases where loss of the sense of smell is a symptom, such as in chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and in acute respiratory infections such as that caused by COVID-19, a team of researchers at Queen Mary University of London (United Kingdom) developed a novel smell testing kit based on capsules of aromatic oils placed between two strips of single-sided tape.

Spatial Tissue Profiled by Imaging-Free Molecular Tomography

Spatially resolved molecular atlases help scientists understand where different types of cells are located in the body and map their gene expression in specific locations in tissues and organs. However, many sequencing modalities lack spatial counterparts. More...

Different Methods Compared for Isolating Fungal DNA

Mucormycosis (previously called zygomycosis) is a serious, but rare fungal infection, caused by a group of molds called mucormycetes. These molds live throughout the environment. Mucormycosis mainly affects people who are immunocompromised or diabetic. More...

Breath Test Determines Severity of Methylmalonic Acidemia Disease

Methylmalonic acidemia is a disorder in which the body cannot break down certain proteins and fats. The result is a buildup of a substance called methylmalonic acid in the blood. This condition is passed down through families and is one of several conditions called an "inborn error of metabolism." More...

Breast Cancer Histopathology Employs Infrared Spectroscopic Imaging

Digital analysis of cancer specimens using spectroscopic imaging coupled to machine learning is an emerging area that links spatially localized spectral signatures to tissue structure and disease. Breast histopathology, as an example of the broad relevance of these techniques, is critically important for clinical diagnoses. More...

Immunoassay Developed for Quantitative Detection of Serum Interleukin‐6

Interleukin‐6 (IL‐6) is a multifunctional protein and is primarily produced by macrophages, monocytes, fibroblasts, and T lymphocytes, and plays important roles in immune regulation, hematopoiesis, inflammation, and tumorigenesis. More...

NMR-Based Method Measures Circulating Blood Citrate Levels

Recent studies show that citrate is involved in several biological processes such as inflammation, cancer, insulin secretion, acetylation of histones, neurological development and hydroxylglutaric aciduria, indicating that it has functions beyond energy regulation. More...
