Rapid Diagnostic Test Uses Light to Detect Malaria without Blood Samples

Current rapid malaria tests involve applying a blood sample to a testing strip that can detect the presence of malaria-causing plasmodium parasites in red blood cells. Now, scientists have developed a hand-held screening device that can scan a patient’s arm or finger to detect the presence of malaria, eliminating the need to draw blood. More...

First Blood Panel to Detect Deadly Placenta Accreta Spectrum

Placenta accreta spectrum (PAS) is a major life-threatening pregnancy complication for both the mother and the baby. Now, a new study aims to create a targeted test for predicting PAS during pregnancy, thus better preparing patients and practitioners for the delivery day. More...

Amniotic Fluid Cells RNA-Sequencing Demonstrates Diagnostic Potential in Deciphering Rare Diseases

Researchers have discovered that applying amniotic fluid cells obtained during 16-24 weeks of pregnancy as a novel sample type for RNA-sequencing in prenatal diagnosis of rare diseases could help more families with tailored clinical management. It is the first proof-of-concept study to demonstrate the potential clinical utility of amniotic fluid cells RNA-sequencing. More...

CRISPR Protein Could Yield New Tests for Many Viruses

In a first for the genetic toolset known as CRISPR, a recently discovered protein has been found to act as a kind of multipurpose self-destruct system for bacteria, capable of degrading single-stranded RNA, single-stranded DNA and double-stranded DNA. With its abilities to target so many types of genetic material, the discovery holds potential for the development of new inexpensive and highly sensitive at-home diagnostic tests for a wide range of infectious diseases.
