There are indications that a simple finger-prick blood test could, in the future, detect Alzheimer's disease long before the ...

Using the new methods of detection, the same biomarkers doctors use to detect Alzheimer's pathology can be measured from a ...

The two main approaches for discovering disease genes reveal distinct aspects of biology, a new study shows. While both methods are widely used, the research found that they identify different genes, ...

Scientists have developed a new method of genetic analysis, which extracts more precise data than previously used methods when looking at DNA, and will improve our understanding of the genetic basis ...

Researchers are developing a promising method to support the diagnosis of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) in horses. Awareness of the prevalence of IBD in both humans and animals has increased in ...
