Study unveils previously unknown urinary biomarkers, revolutionizing early detection and treatment of viral infections like COVID-19

This recent study identifies new urinary biomarkers for detecting acute COVID-19 using spectroscopic analysis. The findings reveal that these biomarkers could offer valuable tools for early diagnosis, understanding the severity of the disease, and possibly contribute to endogenous immunological defense mechanisms against SARS-CoV-2.

Unlocking ACE2: The enzyme that links COVID-19, heart disease, and diabetes

A recent study in the Journal of Biomedical Science examines the critical role of ACE2, an enzyme involved in blood volume and electrolyte balance, in chronic diseases like cardiovascular conditions, diabetes, and COVID-19. The research suggests that ACE2 could serve as both a disease severity biomarker and a therapeutic target.

Study challenges the use of biochemical recurrence as prostate cancer predictor

A UCLA-led study found treatments that reduce the risk of being diagnosed with a cancer recurrence based on rising prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels after radiotherapy, commonly referred to as biochemical recurrence, do not necessarily improve a patient's long-term overall survival.
