Chemistry researchers at Case Western Reserve University have identified specific markers that could pave the way for new blood tests to detect diseases.

Almost every disease involves some degree of inflammation, yet standard blood tests cannot precisely identify which organs or tissues are affected.

Now, researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed an antibody-based method to detect inflammation, which could pave the way for blood tests that identify disease-specific biomarkers. This advancement has potential applications in diagnosing conditions such as heart disease, Alzheimer’s.
