Recently, a group of researchers from Kumamoto University in Japan set out to assess the proteins involved in meiosis to clarify its development

Using your phone to diagnose disease or track your medical condition is the holy grail for remote health monitoring. So far it’s been impractical to combine the two in a single device. But engineers have come up with the next best thing.

To fight further spread of the new coronavirus outbreak in China and globally, and protect states with weaker health systems, the international community has launched a US$675 million preparedness and response plan covering the months of February through to April 2020.

Scientists have found a way to distinguish between two progressive neurodegenerative diseases, Parkinson’s disease and multiple system atrophy, using a technology developed by a researcher at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston.

USC scientists have developed a new tool to peer more deeply and clearly into living things, a visual advantage that saves time and helps advance medical cures. It's the sort of foundational science that can be used to develop better diagnostics and treatments, including detecting lung cancer or damage from pollutants.

The U.S Food and Drug Administration issued an emergency use authorization (EUA) to enable emergency use of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC) 2019-nCoV Real-Time RT-PCR Diagnostic Panel.

Researchers at Michigan State University’s Precision Health Program have helped develop a fascinating new method for detecting the density of proteins in the blood – a method that could vastly improve the rate at which diseases are detected and diagnosed.

Engineering researchers have developed a device the size of a wristwatch that can monitor an individual’s body chemistry to help improve athletic performance and identify potential health problems.

A new study has found that levels of six proteins in the blood can be used to gauge a person's risk for cerebral small vessel disease.

With the whole viral genome of coronavirus 2019-nCoV having recently been sequenced at the Institut Pasteur, the isolation of strains of coronavirus 2019-nCoV detected in France has now been successfully finalized, in a very short space of time, using the samples taken from the first confirmed French cases.
