Novel biomarker beats leading diagnostic blood test at predicting Alzheimer's progression

Small loops of genetic material may be strong indicators of imminent Alzheimer's disease (AD) symptoms. In a new study published in Nature Medicine, researchers showed that elevated levels of certain circular RNAs (circRNAs) in the blood nearly tripled patients' risk of developin

GLP-1 drugs outperform SGLT-2 drugs for patients with Afib and type 2 diabetes

Individuals with atrial fibrillation (Afib), or irregular heart rhythm, are at increased risk of stroke, chronic kidney disease and heart failure. These risks are significantly exacerbated if a type 2 diabetes diagnosis is added to the mix, says Md Mohaimenul Islam, Ph.D., resear

Discovery could help prevent cancer drug resistance before it starts

Cancer cells are quick to develop resistance to anti-tumor drugs. New research by scientists from the University of California, Davis, shows how cancers adapt to evade a class of anti-tumor drugs called BET inhibitors and offers hope for more effective therapies.

In Quebec, young adults were hit first by the pandemic

In the first two years of the COVID-19 pandemic in Quebec, through seven waves of outbreaks, SARS-CoV-2 tended to infect young adults first before the rest of the population, a new study shows. That makes them a key demographic to watch as public health officials try to detect ne

New listeria labeling proposed for smoked salmon and other ready-to-eat foods

Researchers from the DTU National Food Institute are proposing a new labeling scheme designed to give consumers a better opportunity to choose ready-to-eat foods, such as smoked salmon and spiced pork roll, without risking infection with Listeria bacteria.
