Tooth Loss Linked to Dementia Risk
Tooth loss is a risk factor for cognitive impairment and dementia—and with each tooth lost, the risk of cognitive decline grows, according to a new analysis.

Novel Screening Approach Improves Diagnosis of Newborn Metabolic Disorders
Researchers have found that a screening method known as untargeted metabolomics profiling can improve the diagnostic rate for inborn errors of metabolism, a group of rare genetic conditions, by about seven-fold when compared to the traditional metabolic screening approach.

Exploiting Urine RNAs as Diagnostic Markers of Bladder Cancer
A study suggests that in case of bladder cancer, urine RNA could be a potentially useful diagnostic marker.

New Synthetic Circuits Rely on Protein Interactions, Not Transcription and Translation
MIT synthetic biologists have now developed an alternative approach to designing synthetic circuits, which relies exclusively on fast, reversible protein-protein interactions. This means that there's no waiting for genes to be transcribed or translated into proteins, so circuits can be turned on much faster, within seconds.

AI Spots Prostate Cancer Before Symptoms Present
An artificial intelligence (AI) approach has been developed at RMIT University, designed to catch prostate cancer earlier by allowing for incidental detection through routine computed tomography (CT) scans.

"Healthy" Adults May Act as Infection Reservoirs of Pneumococcal Bacteria
Pneumococcal disease is relatively rare among active healthy adults, however, researchers have found that in this age group, acquisition of pneumococcus is frequent and carriage can last several months.

Lipids in the Blood Linked to Drug Resistance in Schizophrenia
Researchers have found lipids in the plasma of people with schizophrenia, associated with lower symptom improvement over time during treatment.

MasSpec Pen Tested in Pancreatic Cancer Patients During Surgery
A diagnostic tool that can differentiate between healthy and cancerous tissue, called the MasSpec Pen, has been tested for the first time in surgery.

Simple Blood Tests May Help Improve Malaria Diagnosis
About one-third of children diagnosed with severe malaria may instead have an alternative cause of illness, but simple blood tests could help researchers distinguish between the two and speed up research on new treatments.

Genetic Mechanism Behind Rett Syndrome Identified
Researchers have revealed a possible genetic pathway behind the neurological dysfunction of Rett syndrome. Deficiencies in key genes trigger neural stem cells to generate less neurons by producing more astrocytes.
