  • 3D Spatial Proteomics Provides View Of Diseases At Early Stages

    Diagnostics World News | Researchers in Germany have developed a series of innovative solutions for probing the body more broadly and deeply for early pathological signs of diseases ranging from metabolic disorders and neurodegenerative diseases to cancer. Their novel technology, dubbed DISCO-MS, does spatial proteomics in three-dimensional (3D) intact specimens using a combination of whole-organ and whole-organism clearing and imaging, deep-learning-based image analysis, robotic tissue extraction, and ultrahigh-sensitivity mass spectrometry.

  • Pragmatic Trials Testing ‘Passive Digital Marker’ For Detecting Dementia

    Diagnostics World News | Research scientists at Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolis and Regenstrief Institute have developed a “passive digital marker” (PDM), powered by machine learning, to help identify people at risk for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias at an earlier stage in primary care settings. Application of the PDM will now be tested in the real world in a pair of pragmatic randomized controlled trials.
