New screening method uses a single drop of blood to test for 13 types of cancer | #Research

New screening method uses a single drop of blood to test for 13 types of cancer | #Research | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
A novel new testing method uses a single drop of blood to test for 13 types of cancer.

By testing for differences in the microRNA (miRNA) the test is able to accurately detect cancers of the breast, lung, stomach, colorectal tract, esophagus, liver, and pancreas, among others.

“MicroRNAs constitute a recently discovered class of non-coding RNAs that play key roles in the regulation of gene expression. Acting at the post-transcriptional level, these fascinating molecules may fine-tune the expression of as much as 30% of all mammalian protein-encoding genes,” according to life sciences and diagnostics lab Exiqon.

In lab tests using preserved blood samples from some 40,000 patients, the researchers were able to identify miRNA specific to these 13 types of cancer with more than 95 percent accuracy.

Dieser einfache Bluttest kann Krebs erkennen - Jahre, bevor die ersten Symptome auftreten | #Research #Cancer

Dieser einfache Bluttest kann Krebs erkennen - Jahre, bevor die ersten Symptome auftreten | #Research #Cancer | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Neu ist aber die Früherkennung: Forscher wollten herausfinden, wie sie ctDNA am besten ausfindig machen können – bevor es einen Tumor gibt. Denn während sich langsam ein Tumor bildet, sterben immer wieder Zellen von ihm ab. Die gelangen in unseren Blutkreislauf. Je früher das Stadium, umso weniger Krebszellen und umso schwieriger, diese winzig kleinen Fragmente zu finden.

Am Wochenende wurde eine sehr erfolgreich verlaufene Studie vorgestellt. Dabei wurden Blut- und Gewebeproben von 124 Patienten mit entweder Lungen-, Brust– oder Prostatakrebs hergenommen. Jede Region des zu untersuchenden Genoms wurde dabei 60.000 Mal gescannt, um Fehler auszuschließen.

Die Ergebnisse über ctDNA durch die Bluttests wurden anschließend mit denen der Biopsien verglichen. In 89 Prozent der Fälle konnte mindestens eine genetische Veränderung durch die Bluttests entdeckt werden, die ebenfalls im Gewebe zu finden war. Die Erfolgsquote nur auf Brustkrebs bezogen lag sogar bei 97 Prozent. In diesem Bereich ist die flüssige Biopsie jedoch schon ausgereifter.

Scientists have created 'immortal' cells that could allow them to make artificial blood | #Research #Medicine  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Researchers have developed a line immortal stem cells that allow them to generate an unlimited supply of artificial red blood cells on demand.

If these artificial blood cells pass clinical trials, they'll be far more efficient for medical use than current red blood cell products, which have to be generated from donor blood — and would be a huge deal for patients with rare blood types, who often struggle to find matching blood donors.

Graphene patch monitors blood glucose and auto-injects treatment | #Research #Medicine

Graphene patch monitors blood glucose and auto-injects treatment | #Research #Medicine | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
If you were sitting around worrying that graphene might not be able to live up to its potential in electrochemical bio-sensing (and that has to be at least half of you), then worry no more: All we have to do to make graphene practical for every-day use is mix it with gold! By employing just a tiny amount of the precious metal to offset some of graphene’s least helpful properties, it turns out that we might be able to fully exploit its best ones. A new study published in Nature Nanotechnology uses this hybrid to create a flexible skin patch to monitor blood glucose and, more importantly, automatically administer drugs as needed.

"Liquid Biopsy" kann für den Kampf gegen Krebs eine große Chance sein. US-Forschern gelingt es mit dem Test, acht verschiedene Krebsarten frühzeitig vorherzusagen, etwa Darm- oder Eierstockkrebs. Im Kampf gegen die tückische Krankheit ist Zeit einer der wichtigsten Faktoren. Experten mahnen aber: Die Vorhersage durch "Liquid Biopsy" könnte sogar zu früh sein.

F.D.A. Approves First Gene-Altering Leukemia Treatment, Costing $475,000 | #Cancer 

F.D.A. Approves First Gene-Altering Leukemia Treatment, Costing $475,000 | #Cancer  | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

The Food and Drug Administration on Wednesday approved the first-ever treatment that genetically alters a patient’s own cells to fight cancer, a milestone that is expected to transform treatment in the coming years.

The new therapy turns a patient’s cells into a “living drug,” and trains them to recognize and attack the disease. It is part of the rapidly growing field of immunotherapy that bolsters the immune system through drugs and other therapies and has, in some cases, led to long remissions and possibly even cures.

The therapy, marketed as Kymriah and made by Novartis, was approved for children and young adults for an aggressive type of leukemia — B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia — that has resisted standard treatment or relapsed. The F.D.A. called the disease “devastating and deadly” and said the new treatment fills an “unmet need.”

Neue Forschung beweist: Der Menschen hat mehr Blutzelltypen als gedacht | #Research #Medicine #Health | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it
Forscher fanden in menschlichem Blut vier bisher unbekannte Zelltypen. Diese Erkenntnis kann alles, was man über den Blutkreislauf und das Immunsystem des Körpers zu wissen glaubte, auf den Kopf stellen. Es eröffnet aber auch viele Möglichkeiten.

Der bisherige Stand der Medizin war, dass es genau drei verschiedene Arten von Blutzellen gibt: Rote Blutkörperchen, weiße Blutkörperchen und Blutplättchen. Und jede der drei Arten hat eine unterschiedliche Funktion im Körper.

Dieses Konzept ist nun teilweise überholt. Forscher haben nämlich gleich vier neue Arten von Blutzellen entdeckt. Und das, obwohl sie schon immer im Blut waren – es wusste nur niemand von ihnen. Man dachte bisher, dass die neu entdeckten Zelltypen klassische weiße Blutkörperchen wären.

Engineers create a temporary tattoo that tests blood sugar

Engineers create a temporary tattoo that tests blood sugar | 21st Century Innovative Technologies and Developments as also discoveries, curiosity ( insolite)... | Scoop.it

Amay Bandodkar, a researcher at the University of California, San Diego, has created a flexible sensor that uses a mild electrical current to measure glucose levels in a person's body. Measuring blood sugar levels multiple times a day is vital for diabetes patients because it shows how well their body is managing their disease as well as the dose of insulin they require, if they need any at all. But because many people find needles unpleasant, they tend to avoid measuring their levels, which puts them at risk of developing serious medical complications.


The new device is painless — It contains electrodes printed on a thin tattoo paper that patients can even dispose after use. "Presently the tattoo sensor can easily survive for a day," Bandodkar said in a statement. "These are extremely inexpensive — a few cents — and hence can be replaced without much financial burden on the patient."
