For decades, diagnosis of brain cancer has been medicine’s most difficult and hazardous challenge. Simple imaging such as MRI scans may reveal a suspicious-looking lesion, but the only sure way to ...

A genomic test developed at UC San Francisco to rapidly detect almost any kind of pathogen – virus, bacteria, fungus or parasite – has proved successful after a decade of use. The test has the ...

Fighting Alzheimer’s disease is a race against time. By the time most patients are diagnosed and treated, their cognitive symptoms have already advanced significantly. New research, though, pinpoints ...

As the world’s population ages, health experts are bracing for higher rates of age-related diseases, including Alzheimer’s. Finding new ways to diagnose the condition is more of a priority than ever, ...
