An international team of researchers has developed a PCR-based assay to detect mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) damage in blood, an indicator of Parkinson's disease. The test may help diagnose the condition before the nervous system of patients is excessively damaged, they said, and could be used to measure response to certain drugs in development to treat the disease.

A partnership between Quest Diagnostics and Envision Sciences has introduced a new prostate cancer biomarker test.

Tempus, a leader in artificial intelligence and precision medicine, announces its GEMINI Non-small Cell Lung Cancer (NSCLC) study (NCT05236114). The Tempus-sponsored study, being run in collaboration with AstraZeneca, aims to create a robust multi-omic dataset for patients with NSCLC to facilitate future novel research related to precision medicine, diagnostic development, and biomarker discovery.

Bio-Techne announced on Thursday that it is acquiring Swiss spatial biology firm Lunaphore for an undisclosed amount.

Inex Innovate of Singapore plans to launch a PCR-based endometrial cancer detection test this summer, following interim results from a clinical study with researchers at the Chinese University of Hong Kong that were presented here at the Association of Molecular Pathology 2023 Europe Congress this week.

China-based, blood cancer early detection and monitoring technology company, SeekIn has released new research on its multi-cancer early detection (MCED) test, OncoSeek.

Thermo Fisher Scientific Inc. (NYSE: TMO), the world leader in serving science, today announced that the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has cleared the Thermo Scientific B·R·A·H·M·S PlGF plus KRYPTOR and B·R·A·H·M·S sFlt-1 KRYPTOR novel biomarkers, the first and only immunoassays to receive breakthrough designation and clearance for the risk assessment and clinical management of preeclampsia, a severe pregnancy complication.

Researchers have found a biomarker that provides an early indication of whether a patient is responding to chemo-immunotherapy.

A French team led by investigators at Institut Cochin in Paris has received €1.5 million ($1.7 million) in EU funding to develop biomarkers for endometriosis, a condition where tissue similar to the lining of a woman's uterus grows outside of it.

In a new study looking at the long-term effects of hospitalized patients who have acute kidney injury, Johns Hopkins Medicine researchers found that higher levels of certain biomarkers in urine and blood can predict a patient’s risk of developing chronic kidney disease.
