AI detects protein signatures for Alzheimer’s disease in the blood
A sensitive blood test for the early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease could be possible with nanoparticle arrays.
What causes deep vein thrombosis?
Blood pooling in venous valves is a key risk factor in deep vein thrombosis. A new model is used to better understand how this occurs.
Leveraging the lung’s biogenesis to repair the heart
Stem cells found in the lungs can be redirected to the heart using a new inhaled antibody therapy to help boost healing following a heart attack.
Creating better diagnostic tools with light scattering nanoparticles
Recent advanced in nanoparticle-based SERS imaging has led to better diagnoses of diseases like cancer, and improvements in image-guided tumor surgeries.
New test captures elusive blood biomarker to help identify severe COVID-19 before symptom onset
An inventive new approach lowers the limit of detection for a common assay, allowing researchers to identify elusive biomarkers in complex fluids, like the blood.
