  • Risk for Lung Cancer Written in the Blood

    Diagnostics World | Researchers in London have identified a 14-protein blood signature predictive of lung cancer risk more than five years before a clinical diagnosis. If the proteomics panel makes its way to routine clinical practice, it could prove invaluable in flagging individuals likely to benefit from preventive screening.

  • AI Interprets 3D Eye Scans to Improve Diagnoses, Speed up Trials

    Diagnostics World | Thanks to several key advances in deep learning architecture, optical coherence tomography (OCT)—one of the most obtained medical images in the world—can now be used to predict disease one patient at a time. The people who stand to benefit are not only those suffering from common retinal diseases, but also conditions such as heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure simply by analyzing microscopic features in the eye.

  • Cancer Patient’s Genetic Ancestry Helps Predict Survival

    Diagnostics World | Research presented at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics shows that a cancer patient’s genetic ancestry can have a significant effect both on how their disease progresses and their survival. In the largest study of its kind, researchers examined nearly 1,900 specific genetic changes in tumors in order to measure whether certain mutations were more common in patients with different historic geographic origins.

  • Comparing Women’s Risk Scores Longitudinally Could Significantly Change Breast Cancer Screening

    Diagnostics World | Researchers from Japan have developed a machine learning framework called DiSPAH (Disease-progression Speed and Pathway Analysis based on a Hidden Markov model) to estimate both the pathway and speed of disease progression in individual patients.

  • INTACT: Detecting Gene Transcription in Living Animals

    Diagnostics World | In a first, researchers at Rice University have established a method for measuring the levels of specific mRNA transcripts in the brain of a live animal. Being able to keep the animal alive is a critical detail, because current methods for analyzing transcript levels are generally only useful post-mortem.
