Diabetes Blood Markers Linked to Alzheimer’s Disease Pathology

Alzheimer's is a progressive disease, where dementia symptoms gradually worsen over a number of years. In its early stages, memory loss is mild, but late-stage Alzheimer's, individuals lose the ability to carry on a conversation and respond to their environment. More...

Saliva Test Fast Tracks Heart Attack Diagnosis

 Heart attacks need urgent diagnosis, followed by treatment to restore blood flow to blocked arteries. Diagnosis is based on symptoms (such as chest pain), an electrocardiogram (ECG) and a blood test for cardiac troponin, a protein released into the blood when the heart muscle is injured. More...

Pan-Cancer Study Reveals Extrachromosomal DNA Frequency

Extrachromosomal circular DNA (eccDNA) are circular DNA found in human, plant and animal cells in addition to chromosomal DNA. eccDNA originate from chromosomal DNA and can be from 50 base pairs to several mega-base pairs in length and encode regulatory elements and several full genes. More...

Adaptive Immune Cells in Ulcerative Colitis Revealed by Single-Cell Analyses

Inflammatory bowel disease encompasses a spectrum of complex intestinal disorders characterized by dysregulated innate and adaptive immune responses to gut microbiota in genetically susceptible hosts. More...

Cancer-Associated T Cell Receptors Evaluated for Malignancy Detection

A key goal in oncology is diagnosing cancer early, when it is more treatable. Despite decades of progress, early diagnosis of asymptomatic patients remains a major challenge. Most methods for this involve detecting cancer cells, but a different approach, focused on the body’s immune response. More...

Single-Cell Analysis Provides New Insights into Mitochondrial Diseases

Mitochondrial diseases result from failure of mitochondria, specialized compartments within cells that contain their own DNA and produce the energy needed to sustain life. Some of the most challenging mitochondrial disorders arise from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a high-copy-number genome that is maternally inherited. More...

Prostate Cancer Identified By Profiling Immune Cell Subsets

With an estimated 1.8 million new cases in 2018 alone, prostate cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world. Diagnosing the disease early increases the chances of survival, but this cancer remains difficult to detect. More...
