Blood tests show promise for detecting and monitoring cancer. A new method makes it possible to analyse samples containing as little as 5% cancer DNA, compared with the 15–20% required today.
New research reveals that extracellular vesicles derived from menstrual blood stromal cells can improve cartilage repair, suggesting an innovative cell-free therapy for osteoarthritis.
Researchers report on decisive steps towards an early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease: a newly discovered biomarker in the blood could open a window of opportunity for future treatment.
The Blood Transfusion service at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) has implemented Clinisys WinPath LIMS, marking the first deployment of this system in Wales.
Analytical and measurement technology copany Horiba has obtained CE IVDR certification for its new Yumizen H500 CRP benchtop hematology analyzer, designed for small laboratories.
Non-specific symptoms such as fatigue, pain or weight loss can be caused by cancer, another serious condition or something completely harmless. A blood test can help provide relevant information.
Siemens Healthineers, with funding from the Gates Foundation, plans to develop artificial intelligence (AI) to enable earlier prediction of pre-eclampsia and anemia in low-resource settings.
An international study shows that Alzheimer’s disease biomarkers can be accurately detected using simple finger-prick blood samples that can be collected at home and mailed to a laboratory.
A simple blood test that can very accurately predict the chance of survival with good recovery could be of great significance for patients in intensive care after a cardiac arrest.
Researchers have created a system that uses generative AI to study the shape and structure of blood cells, and spot unusual or rare cells that may indicate disease such as leukaemia.
Newly discovered blood biomarkers may offer new options to track Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in a less invasive way than physical tests or biopsies. This could support more tailored treatments.
Chronic fatigue (ME/CFS) affects millions worldwide, but is poorly understood and has long lacked reliable diagnostic tools. Now, a new blood test claims to diagnose the condition with 96% accuracy.
Wrong equipment, inadequate posture, unusual behavior: Only 1 in 7 online stock photo images of blood pressure monitoring correctly show how blood pressure should be measured, a new study finds.
A newly developed method to accurately quantify how much radiation is absorbed by the blood during cancer treatment could lead to more personalised, preventive, and safer radiotherapy.
A multicenter study involving leading hospitals across Spain, has confirmed that people with COPD show altered levels of specific metabolites in their blood.
Do laboratory tests using blood-based biomarkers (BBB) represent the next type of universally recommended screening tests for Alzheimer's disease (AD)? Experts curb the high expectations for this type of diagnostic tool.
The earlier Alzheimer's disease is detected, the more effective treatments become. Now, a Finnish study shows that signs related to Alzheimer’s may already be found in the brain in middle age.
A breakthrough in the understanding of how mammals create red blood cells could lead to opportunities for articifical blood to be created at scale for the first time.
In a world first, researchers have identified a set of biomarkers that could someday make it easy to spot Parkinson's disease in a patient’s blood sample.
