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

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 ...

, the race is on to find useful biomarkers of aging, which could be used to assess physiological age and (by comparing physiological to chronological age) help us ask meaningful questions about the rate of aging in different individuals.
Telomere length is a tantalizing biomarker for the aging process: it’s positively correlated with life expectancy

Researchers at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (UAB) have found the first bio-marker for multiple sclerosis (MS) that might predict which patients will respond to a standard therapy and which will not.
In findings published online March 28 inNature Medicine, the UAB team, in a joint
