Diagnostics World | PrecisionLife's new diagnostic approach is addressing a critical gap in complex chronic disease detection by targeting two genetically related conditions that share remarkable similarities. Long COVID and myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) are not just clinically similar—they're genetically connected, with researchers identifying nine genes common to both disease populations.

Diagnostics World | A new subtype of Castleman disease has been identified, the first such major discovery in 45 years. While it remains unclear how many individuals stand to benefit, this is a “hugely important” development for the proportion of patients who fit neither the “unicentric” nor “multicentric” criteria long used to describe the symptoms and disease experience.

Diagnostics World | Parallel developments in wearable sensors, microfluidics, and machine learning have enabled the first-time use of a “smart bandage” in 20 human patients with chronic wounds. The latest version of the bandage, referred to as iCares, was showcased in a new study where fresh fluid from injured tissue was continually sampled to classify wound severity and healing potential.

Diagnostics World | For diagnostic labs, 2025 is a “big, complicated year” that began with a milestone “win” for laboratories when a U.S. District Court decision vacated a Food and Drug Administration (FDA) final rule that would have regulated all laboratory-developed tests (LDTs) as medical devices. Despite that win, there is no shortage of concerns and challenges facing the industry, including unknowns about the final shape of the federal reconciliation package on Capitol Hill.
