Biomarkers are a naturally occurring molecule, gene, or characteristic by which a particular disease can be identified.
New research provides insights into why infection with Zika virus after birth generally causes only mild symptoms, whereas devastating foetal malformations can develop when infection occurs during pregnancy.
A highly sensitive method that can detect even the earlier stages of colorectal cancer has been developed by researchers in Japan.
Head trauma is a common injury, and according to several scientific studies, undiagnosed concussion may lead to devastating outcomes and a premature neurodegenerative condition.
Scientists have established a process for identifying biomarkers for the diagnosis of different types of cancer.
The development of new treatments for pancreatic cancer is set to be transformed by a network of clinical trials, aiming to find the right trial for the right patient, after a £10 million investment from Cancer Research UK.
Drug developers sometimes think of imaging as an emerging discipline. But John Waterton, Paul Hockings, Juliana Maynard and Caleb Roberts explain how imaging biomarkers are transforming drug development. Francesco Gatto and Jens Nielsen, from the Chalmers University of Technology in Sweden, discuss moving towards systems biomarkers for cancer diagnosis...
BenevolentBio's CMO, Dr Patrick Keohane, says the industry is on the cusp of an artificial intelligence (AI) revolution...

Cancer is asymptomatic during most of its pathogenesis. It is very difficult to see that a cancer is growing in a person, except for a few self-evident cases such as skin cancer. Its intangibility and year-, if not decade-long progression make cancer hard to diagnose until some symptoms warrant further…
Early warning signs of Huntington’s disease have been uncovered in sheep carrying the human HD mutation, leading the way for new insight into this devastating illness, a new study has found.
Liver metastases are formed from cancer cells that have originated in other organs and migrated to the liver via the bloodstream.
SMi’s 13th annual Asthma & COPD conference returns to London on the 29 and 30 March 2017...
Drug developers sometimes think of imaging as an emerging discipline, full of esoteric technologies of marginal relevance to real-world clinical drug development. In fact, the opposite is true: imaging measurements (imaging biomarkers) are used daily in drug development and in personalised medicine. They assess target engagement and receptor occupancy in…
In this project, universities and companies across 11 European countries and the US will unite efforts to tailor the development and application of therapies to the individual MS patient.
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) techniques has revolutionised transcriptomics research and opened numerous avenues for scientific and clinical applications. While reverse transcriptase quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR) is still considered the gold standard of gene expression analysis, its high throughput, single-nucleotide resolution and ever-plummeting costs have made NGS…
