Diagnostics World | Researchers in Israel recently showcased a novel platform that can be used in the future for the early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease (PD) by quantifying the distribution of alpha-synuclein (α-syn) in skin biopsies. A proof-of-concept study in humans, supported in part by the Michael J. Fox Foundation, suggests the single-molecule-level detection method might enable the disease to be detected up to 20 years before the first motor symptoms appear.

Diagnostics World | A next-generation liquid biopsy approach combining cell-free DNA (cfDNA) “fragmentome” and protein biomarker analyses could aid in the early detection of ovarian cancer, suggests a recent study by researchers in the U.S., The Netherlands, and Denmark. The DELFI-Pro classifier was found to have a high positive predictive value, a key accuracy metric.

Diagnostics World | A diagnostic test invented at the University of Arizona has demonstrated its potential to predict the likelihood of relapse or recurrence among patients with early-stage breast cancer and their response to antifibrotic therapy. The tool, known as MeCo Score, measures metastatic risk based on the acclimation of cancer cells to the mechanical stiffness of tissue (fibrosis) as computed from RNA sequencing data on tumor samples.

Diagnostics World | In another few years, low-density lipoprotein (LDL) and high-density lipoprotein (HDL) analytes may be “obsolete” because the famously bad and good guys in standard cholesterol tests provide less useful information about heart health than other lipid molecules circulating in the blood. The evidence emerges from a recent study in children and adolescents with overweight or obesity finding a new relationship between lipids and diseases impacting metabolism.

Diagnostics World | Owkin and AstraZeneca announced a new partnership this month to develop an AI-powered tool to pre-screen for germline BRCA (gBRCA) mutations in breast cancer directly from digitized pathology slides. As part of Owkin’s ongoing collaboration with Gustave Roussy and The Centre Léon Bérard through PortrAIt, a French consortium to accelerate precision medicine through AI-enabled digital pathology, this tool aims to significantly accelerate and expand access to gBRCA testing that too many patients may not be considered for.

Diagnostics World | As the departments of Defense and Homeland Security are acutely aware, national security and human health have a lot of crossover, including biothreats and infectious diseases. Their investment in instrumentation for rapid analysis of biologic aerosols in the late 1990s is now being creatively repurposed by engineers at Zeteo Tech, together with some novel breath sampling techniques, for the early detection of respiratory infections.
