Blood-Based Biomarkers Detectable by Simple Blood Test Could Simplify Diagnosis of Alzheimer's

A new study has demonstrated that blood-based biomarkers for amyloid and tau are highly correlated with the established biomarkers used for Alzheimer's diagnosis. These blood-based biomarkers have also shown great diagnostic accuracy in distinguishing between normal and non-normal levels of amyloid and tau biomarkers. More...

Smartphone-Based Readerless System Measures Blood Glucose for Early Detection of Prediabetes

Screening for prediabetes typically involves laboratory testing at a healthcare facility or using a portable glucometer for at-home testing. Unfortunately, access and cost may limit widespread screening. Now, researchers have discovered an optimal approach to enhance early detection of prediabetes. More...

POC Test Detects Genetic Blood Disorders with High Accuracy

Sickle cell disease (SCD) and beta thalassemia are genetic blood disorders that affect over 7% of the global population. In the US, SCD is estimated to affect 100,000 people, with up to 8% of African-Americans being carriers, and can reduce life expectancy by up to 20 years. Now, an affordable sickle cell and beta thalassemia test that is currently used in 27 countries seeks to replicate its international success and expand into the U.S. More...
