Fluorescent Imaging Agent May Allow for Better Cervical Cancer Detection

Recently conducted research has discovered that cervical cancer can be detected by clinicians using a handheld microscope and a topical fluorescent imaging agent dubbed PARPi-FL. This imaging technique targets the PARP1 enzyme, which is overexpressed in this type of cancer. It has the potential to revolutionize cervical cancer biopsies and screenings. Cervical cancer is the fourth most common cancer in women. Data shows that in 2018, nearly 600,000 women were diagnosed with this cancer type globally, with roughly 310,000 of them succumbing to the disease.

Brain Fingerprints May Facilitate Neurological Disease Detection

A scientist at EPFL (the Swiss Federal Institute for Technology) has discovered that it is possible to detect declining cognitive function by using the fingerprints of an individual’s brain. Brain fingerprints refer to the neural connections’ map as detected by brain imaging techniques. The scientist stumbled upon this discovery after noticing that the brain fingerprints in individuals suffering from cognitive decline are more difficult to detect compared to how easily the brain fingerprints of healthy subjects can be detected. Just as is the case with fingers, the brain of each individual has a unique pattern that is embedded within it,…

Scientists Can Use Blood Plasma, Urine Tests to Detect Brain Tumors

Scientists from the Cancer Research UK Cambridge Institute have designed tests that can detect the presence of a type of brain tumor known as a glioma via a patient’s blood plasma or urine. The group notes that this test is the first of its kind globally, adding that its results, which only included a handful of patients, are promising. The research is currently in its early stages and was published in “EMBO Molecular Medicine.” Brain tumor recurrence in individuals who have already had a brain tumor removed is high, which is why monitoring patients using an MRI scan is important.…
