Detection of the cancer microenvironment may soon become much easier with the help of a new molecular biosensor recently developed by a team...

A new mechanism that slows down and may even prevent the natural ageing of immune cells – one of the nine ‘hallmarks of ageing’* – has been identified by an international team led by UCL scientists...

Understanding the genetic drivers of cancer can inform treatment decisions and provide additional options for patients if targeted therapies are...

A new blood test developed by Tulane University researchers combines nanotechnology with artificial intelligence to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in children in instances when the deadly disease might...

Patients with ALS, one of the most serious neurological diseases known, have been hampered by the time it takes to receive an accurate diagnosis. The period between the onset of symptoms and...

Exosomes, as a potential biomarker in liquid biopsy, hold great potential for early cancer diagnosis and monitoring of highly metastatic cancer cells. Recently, a group of researchers proposed a novel electrochemical biosensor for sensitive identification and detection of target exosomes. ...

The statistics for pancreatic cancer are sobering. With a five-year survival rate of only 9%, incidence of the most common type, pancreatic ductal...

Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) is characterized by a decline in cognitive function, memory loss, and in severe cases, language impairment, and ultimately the loss of independent living ability. According to...

Exosomes are lipid-bilayer nanoscale membrane particles (typically <200 nm in size) secreted by numerous cell types. Since exosomes exhibit a naturally derived composition and function as intercellular communication tools through the transfer and delivery of biomolecules, they have demonstrated great ...

Our cells are constantly communicating, and scientists have developed an efficient way to find out what messages they are sending in protein-packed...
