Dementia is one of the leading causes of disability in old age and places a huge burden on society. The growing prevalence of dementia calls for accurate, more accessible biomarkers to facilitate clinical diagnosis and prognosis. Peripheral mediums, such as blood and blood derivates (i.e. plasma and platelets), are currently being investigated for their potential […]

Detection of urinary microRNAs as biomarkers of diabetic kidney disease

Current measures for diagnosis and therapy of chronic kidney disease are limited. Better biomarkers are required to improve treatment by directing therapeutic intervention, tracking responses to therapy and providing greater understanding of the underlying mechanisms driving renal disease progression. We describe here the development of microRNAs as biomarkers for diabetic kidney disease, the most common […]
