A computational model that predicts brain age using a large collection of FDG-PET (fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography) and structural MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) imaging data has been developed by Mayo Clinic scientists.
Butyrylcholinesterase has been identified as the first biomarker that could help detect babies at higher risk of dying from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, or SIDS.
Heart disease mortality risk varies considerably between Asian American ethnic subgroups, according to new research, which questions current cardiovascular risk assessment strategies.
More than 99% of people who go on to develop the disease have one of the genetic variants identified in the test.
Jonas Korlach, PacBio CSO and co-inventor of its revolutionary single-molecule real-time sequencing technology, discusses the development of PacBio and HiFi sequencing and the long-awaited completion of the human genome project.
A new genotype has been linked to the recurrence of extreme nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Scientists have developed a new technique to enrich the degeneration of dopamine (DA) neurons from patients with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) and matched controls and profile their gene expression.
A new study by neuroscientists have reveals that an emerging image-quantifying technology called radiomics can be used to extract biomarkers from clinical brain MRI scans in stroke patients and estimate a patient’s relative “brain age.”
UCSF research confirms and expands links between sex-linked genetic variants and disorders such as autism spectrum disorder and heart failure.
A new mouse study by researchers at UT Southwestern (UTSW) reveals that scar-like cells that make up a large portion of malignant pancreatic tumors shield these cancers from immune attack and are derived from mesothelial cells that line tissues and organs.
