A new non-invasive method of predicting the risk of developing a severe form of liver disease could ensure patients receive early and potentially life-saving medical intervention before irreversible damage is done. Using information collected in a liver biopsy study, researchers at Cardiff University have developed a method of determining the onset of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) […]
ETH researchers have discovered a molecule in liver cells that controls the release of fat into the bloodstream. This “lock keeper” is present in large quantities in overweight people and leads indirectly to vascular narrowing. Anyone attending Munich’s famous Oktoberfest will know it can leave physical traces; fatty foods and plenty of alcohol cause the […]
Laboratory medicine is one of the major supporting areas of healthcare management. Though representing less than 2% of health expenditure, it affects over 70% of clinical decisions which are taken based on laboratory results and this trend is even growing in the last decade. One of the drivers of this increased significance is a better […]
Thermo Fisher Scientific and HEALTH BioMed (HBM) have announced a collaboration to support HBM’s development of molecular diagnostic (MDx) kits for infectious disease and pharmacogenomics screening to serve the China market. Under the terms of a strategic agreement, HBM will submit all kits it develops on the Applied Biosystems 3500Dx Capillary Electrophoresis (CE) platform through […]
Coris BioConcept develops and manufactures immunochromatographic tests allowing fast and accurate diagnosis of infectious diseases. The company was founded by Dr Thierry Leclipteux in 1996, when it was still possible to start a biotech company from scratch. After a lot of determination and support, the first employees were hired only four years later. That moment […]
EKF Diagnostics announces that its newly introduced Glycated Serum Protein (GSP) LiquiColor diabetic biomarker test has been verified for use on the Siemens Vista chemistry analyser. In a scientific poster published by scientists at the Memorial Healthcare System, Hollywood, USA, it was demonstrated that EKF’s GSP assay enhances the versatility of the Vista system for […]
The distinct structures of toxic protein aggregates that form in degenerating brains determine which type of dementia will occur, which regions of brain will be affected, and how quickly the disease will spread, according to a study from the Peter O’Donnell Jr. Brain Institute. The research helps explain the diversity of dementias linked to tau […]
Researchers have identified a gene (CYFIP2) associated with binge eating. This finding represents one of the first examples of a genome-wide significant genetic factor to be identified for binge eating in model organisms or humans. In addition, the researchers discovered a network of down-regulated genes involved in myelination (the process of forming a sheath around […]
Researchers have identified two new genetic risk factors for Alzheimer’s disease (AD) among African Americans. The findings may lead to the development of new therapies specifically targeting those genes. Despite the fact that AD is more common in African Americans than Caucasians, the AD genetic risk profile for African Americans is more poorly understood. While […]
Researchers at Brigham and Women’s Hospital have found two new potential drug targets for treating arterial diseases such as atherosclerosis. By using proteomics to screen a vast number of molecules, the researchers identified PARP9 and PARP14 – two members of the PARP family of proteins – as regulators of macrophage activation, which has been linked […]
