New Alzheimer's Biomarkers Could Detect Alzheimer's Sooner and Lead to Therapies by Anthony Cirillo Patient Expert

Posted Thu 09 Jun 2011 9:00am New guidelines released by the Alzheimer's Association and the National Institutes of Health and the National Institute of Aging identify new diagnostic criteria and new biomarkers for Alzheimer's disease. The guidelines identify previously unrecognized phases of the disease. The three new phases refer to the disease's progression, starting before Read on »

Guidelines for Earlier Cancer Detection with Biomarkers Using a Mathematical Model by Bruce Friedman Patient Expert

Posted Fri 02 Dec 2011 12:00am A recent article about guidelines for earlier cancer detection was highly relevant in terms of the future development of new serum biomarkers (see: Guidelines For Earlier Cancer Detection Established By New Stanford Mode l). The article reviewed the progress on a mathematical model relating to tumor growth and the secretion of tumor marker Read on »

Alzheimer's Disease, Biological Markers, and the Collaboration of Mankind by Bob DeMarco Patient Expert

Posted Fri 13 Aug 2010 7:26am emission tomography (PET), other biological markers, and clinical and neuropsychological assessment can be combined to measure the progression of mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and early Alzheimer’s disease (AD). In other words, to learn more about Alzheimer's disease, how it unfolds in the brain, and to discover biological markers that indicate probable Read on »

biologic markers can change after metastasis by Donna Peach Patient Expert

Posted Mon 20 Sep 2010 12:00am Researchers note that the three biologic markers in breast cancer (estrogen, progesterone and HER2) may change when breast cancer metastasizes, particularly with liver metastases. The conclusion, thus, is that, in cases of liver mets, it may be a good idea … Continue reading → Read on »

Clinic Notes: A Biological Marker for Autism? by Dr. Gary B. Doctor of Philosophy

Posted Fri 15 Jul 2011 11:36am One big problem in conducting studies on the causes of autism is reliable diagnosis. There are no biological markers of autism so autism is inferred from the child's behavior. The problem arises then that there such obvious variably from one child with autism to another that a "spectrum" is required to "explain" this variability. So is autism Read on »

Researchers Discover Possible Biological Marker For Depression by Jeremiah D. Doctor of Philosophy

Posted Fri 03 Oct 2008 12:52pm This article reviews a recent finding that there may be a quick way to biologically assess whether an individual has depression, and (possibly more importantly), whether a particular antidepressant treatment is the "right fit" for that particular individual. Money quote: "We discovered that in depressed individuals a signaling protein is ... Read on »
