Millions of lipid panels, blood tests that look at cholesterol levels as well as triglycerides, are performed each year, and are key to assessing risk for heart disease. New studies suggest current tests, which measure the abundance of lipid classes, are insufficient and should be replaced by tests to identify lipids at the individual species level.

Changes in microRNA detected long before neurogeneration symptoms appear in mice

An artificial intelligence radar system is being developed to detect changes in blood glucose concentration

Diagnostics facility opens at the University of Michigan to provide advanced clinical and anatomic pathology testing

The largest known protein, the appropriately named titin after the Titan giants of Greek mythology, is found in cardiac muscle. Mutations in the titin gene cause dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). A new study has provided valuable insight into this disease by studying titin.

Researchers have now published the first atomic structure of a brain receptor bound to a drug used to reverse anesthesia and to treat sedative overdoses.

A study reveals the presence of proteins from hypnozoites, the latent phase of the parasite, in circulating extracellular vesicles.

The risk of preterm infants developing necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is higher when they are fed formula than when they feed on breast milk. A new study reports an association between the type of carbohydrates in formula, the products of metabolism or metabolites, and the risk of NEC in a piglet model of the human condition.

Healthcare to become standalone company; GE expects to monetize 20% and distribute remaining 80% of GE Healthcare to shareholders tax-free.

The stretchiness that allows living tissues to expand, contract, stretch, and bend throughout a lifetime is the result of a protein molecule called tropoelastin. Now, for the first time, researchers have decoded the molecular structure of this complex molecule, as well as the details of what can go wrong with its structure in various genetically driven diseases.
