Diagnostics World News | Researchers at the Oregon Health and Science University have established a rapid blood test to differentiate pancreatic cancer from other pancreatic conditions. The method involves the analysis of tumor-secreted nanoparticles on a specialized chip and actually outperforms the gold-standard needle-based biopsy diagnosis.

Diagnostics World News | For patients seeing a cardiologist, their diagnosis and next steps rest on data gathered at a single point in time: the day of their appointment. One blood pressure reading. One imaging scan. One day’s data to define the health of a continuously changing system. The Duke Center for Computational and Digital Health Innovation developed a platform that may be a better way.

Diagnostics World News | During pregnancy, the cells of a fetus make their way into the tissues of mom where they can persist for decades, much like what happens when someone gets an organ transplant but to a far tinier extent. That the maternal-fetal exchange results in chimerism—more specifically, “microchimerism”—is a relatively little-known yet fascinating and profoundly common biological phenomenon.

Diagnostics World News | An engaged research cohort of over 11 million genotyped individuals has enabled 23andMe to produce a library of more than 300 peer-reviewed publications over the past 16 years. Following a 2025 bankruptcy filing, when it reemerged as a nonprofit medical research organization, the focus has settled on providing individuals with access to their genetic information, supporting genetics education, and studies that provide a deeper understanding of human genetics.

Diagnostics World News | The diagnostics industry is at the intersection of enormous clinical development and technological change, enabling first-ever detection milestones heavily driven by artificial intelligence (AI) and multi-biomarker tests. But it has increasingly been coming into conflict with a decades-old regulatory system that didn’t anticipate these technological changes and a political environment that favors U.S. competition and innovation but is also interested in cutting the budget.

Diagnostics World News | There’s a seductive promise baked into the rise of large language models: that a single, powerful AI trained on the breadth of human knowledge can do virtually anything. Need to draft a contract? Summarize a research paper? Predict whether a drug molecule will cross the blood-brain barrier? Just ask GPT. But ask the executives building AI tools inside two highly specialized fields — radiology and early-stage drug discovery — and they’ll tell you that promise breaks down the moment you need answers that actually matter.

Diagnostics World | The diagnosis and management of hypertension is in a troublingly bleak state, despite myriad treatments and regular blood pressure checks in primary care settings intended to catch the condition early. The conundrum is rooted in a trio of problems that co-exist like “gears with broken teeth that don’t mesh together very well."

Diagnostics World | A team of computational scientists at Lund University (Sweden) have built a deep, joint-learning proteomics model for improving the diagnostic accuracy for a handful of dementia-related conditions which in primary care settings remains challenging due to a shortage of informative biomarkers. Predicting these different but correlated pathologies together with a single blood test would facilitate a differential diagnosis with speed and confidence.
