A group of scientists from University College London (UCL) and University Medical Centre Goettingen have created a straightforward blood test that employs artificial intelligence (AI) to forecast Parkinson's disease up to seven years before symptoms appear.
Lipids are the primary components of our cell membranes, which are made up of lipid bilayers. The lipid distribution is not uniform; it is asymmetric, having differing lipid contents in the outer and inner layers.
A team of scientists led by UCL academics has found new ways for predicting outcomes in pregnancies in which the baby is not developing normally inside the womb.
A group of scientists led by UCL researchers has developed new methods for predicting outcomes in pregnancies where the baby is not growing properly inside the womb.
Now, a team led by Assistant Professor Yasuro Furuichi from Tokyo Metropolitan University have emerged with a key part of the puzzle. In previous work, they found that Musashi-2 (Msi2), a protein originally discovered in nerve cells, was also expressed in skeletal muscle tissue.
Research headed by Nagoya University in Japan discovered three previously unknown membrane proteins in ovarian cancer. The scientists captured the proteins using a novel technique comprised of nanowires with a polyketone coating, providing a new detection tool for ovarian cancer.
An electronic biosensor based on DNA aptamers developed by a team of researchers can detect biomarkers in whole blood samples without the use of reagents. DNA aptamers recognise marker proteins as well as antibodies, but they are simpler to prepare and more adaptable. Without any additional
