New Blood Test Could Speed Up Diagnosis of Brain Cancer

A study conducted at the University of Strathclyde, in collaboration with clinicians from the Walton NHS Foundation Trust, the University of Liverpool and the Western General Hospital, has helped design a blood test that speeds up brain cancer diagnosis. This patented technology uses infrared light to produce a blood sample’s biosignature then utilizes artificial intelligence to check for any signs of cancer. The technology, which was reported in the “Nature Communications” journal, is being commercialized by ClinSpec Diagnostics Limited. The study was led by ClinSpec Diagnostics chief scientific officer Dr. Matthew J. Baker, who also happens to be a reader…

Researchers Find That Early Childhood Cancer Discovery May Prevent Metastasis

Researchers have made a new discovery in a fatal and aggressive childhood cancer known as Ewing sarcoma, which could possibly help hinder the spread of cancer cells. This new discovery offers new insights into what causes the process that enables cancer cells to survive as they travel through the bloodstream of an individual, spreading beyond the primary tumor site. Scientists with BC Cancer and the University of British Columbia have discovered that this particular type of cancer cells develop a shield that protects them from the bloodstream’s harsh environment as they metastasize. The researchers’ findings were reported in “Cancer Discovery.”…

Study Finds Adding Choline Nutrient to Diet May Help Combat Alzheimer’s

A study conducted by researchers from the Arizona State University found that a long-term choline dietary regimen could possibly prevent Alzheimer’s disease. Choline is a nutrient that can be used as a dietary supplement and is found in some foods. Ramon Velazquez, the study’s lead author, and his fellow researchers at the university’s Neurodegenerative Disease Research Center, investigated whether choline could reduce Alzheimer’s effects. The study, which was carried out in 2019, discovered transgenerational benefits of Alzheimer’s disease-like symptoms in mice whose mothers were given choline. This study explored the effects of choline in adult mice. The research focused on…

Researchers Find Link Between Cellular Aging, Epigenetic Changes in Cancer Patients

A recent study found that some anti-cancer treatments may speed up cellular aging, where changes in a patient’s DNA may contribute to more fatigue and inflammation. The study’s discoveries were reported in the American Cancer Society’s peer-reviewed journal “CANCER.” When epigenetic changes occur or an individual’s DNA is physically modified, the process also can alter gene activity. It should be noted that these changes do not involve adjusting the underlying DNA sequence. Some people may experience epigenetic age acceleration (“EAA”), which increases their risk of age-related conditions, in comparison with other people of the same chronological age. Recently, researchers looked…

What Is Long COVID and What Do We Know About It?

The majority of individuals who contract the coronavirus suffer from the symptoms of coughing, fever and difficulty breathing before recovering in about two weeks. However, some individuals suffer persistent symptoms, informally referred to as long COVID. Researchers estimate that these individuals make up 10% to 30% of the population. While researchers have been unable to find a definitive cause as to why some people suffer from long-term symptoms, they have proposed a few theories as well as growing information about the disease. So, what can we deduce from long COVID? Working definitions from researchers show that the term “long COVID”…
