Novel combination treatment outperforms standard therapy in patients with EGFR NSCLC

The combination of the antibody amivantamab and lazertinib, a drug targeting EGFR, shows better clinical benefits compared to standard treatment in patients with advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer with EGFR gene mutations who also present one of these poor prognostic markers: brain and/or liver metastases, p53 gene co-mutations, or the presence of circulating […]

Eye-tracking technology offers earlier, more accurate autism diagnosis

Nearly 3% of all children in the United States are diagnosed with autism, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. But a collaborative team of researchers at Indiana University and Purdue University are finding ways to make the right diagnosis sooner. The number of children needing autism evaluations exceeds the capacity of specialists trained […]

APOE4 gene linked to early onset Alzheimer’s, target for therapeutic intervention

In a recent study published in the journal Nature Medicine, researchers investigated the effect of APOE4 (short for Apolipoprotein E4) homozygosity on Alzheimer’s disease (AD) using pathological, clinical, and biomarker analyses. They found that APOE4 homozygotes showed AD pathology and elevated AD biomarker levels from 55 years of age, representing a distinct variant of AD […]

PharmaKure announces epigenetics collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University to understand mechanisms of Alzheimer’s Diseases

PharmaKure, a clinical stage pharmaceutical company developing precision medicines for Alzheimer’s Disease and other neurodegenerative diseases, today announces a new epigenetics collaboration with Sheffield Hallam University. This partnership will focus on ‘gene-based environmental biomarkers,’ known as epigenetic markers, for calculating risk scores for Alzheimer’s disease. Together with ALZmetrixTM, PharmaKure’s blood-based biomarker, this will increase the […]

Identifying antiviral protein IFN-γ as a potential biomarker for Long COVID

SARS-CoV-2 triggers the production of the antiviral protein IFN-γ, which is associated with fatigue, muscle ache and depression. New research shows that in Long COVID patients, IFN-y production persists until symptoms improve, highlighting a potential biomarker and a target for therapies.

The association between handgrip strength and functional outcomes in long COVID-19

In a recent longitudinal study published in Scientific Reports, researchers from Brazil investigated the potential association between dynapenia (loss of muscle strength and power) with functional outcomes in patients with long coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). They found that in patients with long COVID, low handgrip strength (HGS) is associated with worse functional outcomes. They further […]

Novel blood test shows promise in detecting early-stage cancers with high accuracy

In a recent article published in the journal BMJ Oncology, researchers developed a novel proteome/liquid biopsy-based diagnostic test to detect less abundant plasma proteins, i.e., biomarkers for various cancers in human organs. Study: Novel proteomics-based plasma test for early detection of multiple cancers in the general population.

Migrants face greater risk of inferior care for type 2 diabetes, Denmark study shows

A large, population-wide study of Denmark residents with type 2 diabetes shows that migrants typically face a greater risk of inferior care for their disease than native Danes, particularly when it comes to monitoring their disease and controlling biomarkers-; managing blood levels of key substances that are associated with diabetes. Anders Aasted Isaksen of Aarhus […]
