Stanford Medicine teams discover biomarkers that predict common and serious pregnancy complications

They aimed to identify a small set of signals detectable during the first 16 weeks of pregnancy that could form the basis of a simple and inexpensive diagnostic test that can be used in low-, middle- and high-income countries. To estimate the accuracy of the machine learning models, the researchers first built the models with …

Identification of the first biomarkers of primary tauopathies

Identification of the first biomarkers of primary tauopathies

The first tau biomarkers that have the potential to identify types of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) in living patients and facilitate the design of clinical trials to evaluate prospective therapies have been identified. The new results show that fluid biomarkers identified certain tauopathies, which are neurodegenerative diseases involving tau proteins, with an accuracy rate of …
