Stanford Medicine researchers have developed a blood test capable of detecting cancers, the ways cancer resists treatments and tissue injury caused by non-cancerous conditions. The new test analyzes ...

When a tumor starts to grow in the body, small bits of its genetic material may break away and float off into the bloodstream. This so-called cell free DNA can be used to identify cancer at very early ...

Researchers at Imperial College London have developed VeloCD, a method using RNA markers in blood to predict disease progression and treatment response within days. The proof-of-concept study showed ...

Researchers have developed a technique that can identify errors caused by mutations linked to a range of genetic disorders, ...

Scientists have developed a fast, non-invasive blood test that can detect Parkinson’s disease before tremors begin. By measuring RNA fragments that reflect brain pathology, the test offers new hope ...

Scientists are developing a test which could one day be used to predict how a patient's illness will progress, and even how well they will respond to treatment. The international team, led by ...
