  • Beyond the Breakthrough: What Alzheimer’s Blood Tests Need Before They Can Truly Change Care

    Mar 20 | Diagnostics World | The gold standard tests — PET scans that visualize amyloid plaques and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) assays that measure core biomarkers directly — have long been the backbone of accurate Alzheimer’s diagnoses. Next-generation Alzheimer’s blood-based biomarkers are now producing accuracy levels in the greater than 90% sensitivity range, roughly on par with PET and CSF. This is not just a scientific milestone — it feels like a shift in what is possible for everyday clinical practice. More

  • Illumina, Labcorp Expand Collaboration, Develop New IVD Tests

    Mar 18 | Diagnostics World | Illumina and Labcorp today announced an expanded collaboration to develop applications of next-generation sequencing (NGS) solutions across the healthcare ecosystem. Projects are expected to include distributed cancer biomarker test offerings; generating evidence to facilitate payer coverage; and developing new tests to address areas of unmet need. More

  • Simple Blood Test Predicts Survival Based on Causal Biomarkers

    Mar 17 | Diagnostics World | Aging has increasingly been viewed as a modifiable target for therapeutic intervention, an encouraging idea that was recently reaffirmed with the development of a simple blood test for predicting survival. The biomarkers being measured include five piwi-interacting RNAs, together with high density lipoprotein particle number and the ability to do instrumental activities of daily living, such as the ability to independently shop and do housework.

  • The GLP-1 Era: It’s More Than Just Weight

    Mar 10 | Diagnostics World News | The healthcare industry has a weight problem—a weight bias problem, according to Ashley Koff, RD, founder of The Better Nutrition Program. During her plenary keynote at February’s Integrative Healthcare Symposium, Koff addressed the urgent need to rethink approaches to weight, metabolic health, and the use of GLP-1 medications. More

  • Rethinking Long COVID: Targeting Root Causes First

    Mar 05 | Diagnostics World News | At February’s Integrative Healthcare Symposium, Dr. George Schatz urged clinicians to rethink how they evaluate long COVID. For patients who still struggle with long-term fatigue, brain fog, palpitations, and sleep disruption, he proposed a diagnostics-first framework that prioritizes mechanism over labels. More

  • Blood Test Suggests if Gallstones Could Progress to Cancer

    Mar 04 | Diagnostics World News | The vast number and diversity of chemicals that exist in the natural world represent both the cause of and solution to all the world’s problems. As such, they are foundational, high-stakes agents irrespective of the biological system—be they comprised of plants, microorganisms, or human beings. More

  • Epigenetic Instability Metric Could Aid Early Cancer Detection Efforts

    Mar 03 | Diagnostics World News | The quest to marry different DNA methylation technologies for the purpose of early cancer detection has been ongoing for several decades now. Among the recent breakthroughs is an “epigenetic instability index” (EII) measuring the randomness of methylation rather than just consistent, fixed changes. More
