Top Trends Changing The Medical Laboratory Industry In Europe

The way healthcare is delivered around the globe is changing. Patients are now at the centre of how medical care is delivered and recent advances in medical technology have allowed medical laboratory testing to move in parallel with this course. Keeping up-to-date with latest industry trends emerging from within the medical laboratory industry is critical […]

Study indicates causal link between obesity and multiple diseases

A new study, led by Professor Elina Hyppönen from UniSA’s Australian Centre for Precision Health, presents the strongest evidence yet of a causal relationship between obesity and a wide range of serious conditions, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer, and neurological, musculoskeletal and respiratory afflictions. The study draws data from the UK Biobank – a research […]

Surprise rheumatoid arthritis discovery points to new treatment

Researchers at the School of Medicine have identified an unexpected contributor to rheumatoid arthritis that may help explain the painful flare-ups associated with the disease. The discovery points to a potential new treatment for the autoimmune disorder and may also allow the use of a simple blood test to detect people at elevated risk for […]

Children’s bone cancers could remain hidden for years before diagnosis

Scientists have discovered that some childhood bone cancers start growing years before they are currently diagnosed. Researchers at the Wellcome Sanger Institute and Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids), Canada discovered large-scale genetic rearrangements in Ewing Sarcomas and other children’s cancers, and showed these can take years to form in bone or soft tissue. This study […]

Mutation links bipolar disorder to mitochondrial disease

Mutations in the gene ANT1 may confer a risk for bipolar disorder through a complex interplay between serotonin and mitochondrial signalling in the brain. These two pathways have been separately implicated in bipolar disorder, but the link between levels of the neurotransmitter serotonin and mitochondrial dysfunction had not been established. Researchers at the RIKEN Center […]

GC-MS discovery of biomarkers will allow non-invasive early disease detection by breath biopsy

Owlstone Medical and Thermo Fisher Scientific recently announced a collaborative partnership to advance the early diagnosis of cancer and other diseases. This will involve the integration of Orbitrap gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC-MS) instrumentation into Owlstone Medical’s Breath Biopsy platform, aiding metabolomics studies of breath samples for unique biomarkers that could translate into non-invasive, routine […]

Liquid biopsy has prognostic role in colorectal cancer and potential for guiding therapy

Liquid biopsy is likely to play an increasing role in identifying patients with colorectal cancer (CRC) who are likely to relapse after surgery, and has potential for optimising treatment for individual patients, according to new research. Of 805 patients in the phase III IDEA-FRANCE trial who had liquid biopsy prior to adjuvant chemotherapy for stage […]

Better health care through mass spectrometry – better mass spectrometry through standardization

by Prof. Michael Vogeser, Dr Judy Stone and Prof. Alan Rockwood While analytical standardization and metrological traceability are well-defined terms, ‘methodological standardization’ in clinical mass spectrometry is still in a developing stage. We propose a framework that facilitates the widespread implementation of this highly complex and very powerful technology and is based on two pillars […]

Cracking the colon code – new light shed on gut function

New insights into how the colon functions and actually expels its contents have been revealed for the first time following decades of study by Flinders University researchers. It promises new diagnostics tools and treatments for gastrointestinal disorders to address problems with bowel movements leading to constipation, diarrhoea and pain, affecting hundreds of millions of people […]
