Newly-developed censor can detect early signs of cancer, distinguish type
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
MIT engineers have designed a new nanoparticle sensor that could detect early diagnosis of cancer with a simple urine test. The sensors, which can diagnose many different cancerous proteins, could also be used to distinguish the type of a tumour or how it is responding to treatment.

Sleeping pill lowers levels of Alzheimer's proteins: Study
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Sleep problems can be an early indicator of Alzheimer's disease. Many patients who are later diagnosed with Alzheimer's begin having trouble sleeping and staying asleep years before cognitive symptoms such as memory loss and confusion emerge. It's a vicious cycle: Alzheimer's disease causes

Study sheds more light into cause of severe inflammatory bowel disease
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Cedars-Sinai researchers discovered a genetic variant that increases the risk of developing perianal Crohn's disease, the most debilitating form of Crohn's disease.

Study finds antibody substitutes for biosensing
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
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

Study finds how some brain cells transfer material to neurons
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
UC Davis researchers are the first to describe how oligodendrocyte-lineage cells transfer cell material to neurons in the mouse brain. Their findings show that these cells and neurons interact in a coordinated nuclear manner.

Study finds how misfolded alpha-synuclein protein helps to detect early Pa
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to a new study using technology created by a researcher at UTHealth Houston, the presence of a misfolded alpha-synuclein protein can be used to assess whether people have Parkinson's disease. This biomarker may open the door to the creation of improved diagnostic equipment and fres
