Brain cells “clogged” with fat could be hidden drivers of Alzheimer’s disease, according to a new study that shifts focus away from protein plaques and tangles thought to be the main contributors behind the condition.

The continually expanding toolkit from Mohit Verma’s laboratory at Purdue University now includes a portable, paper-based biosensor for identifying genetically modified (GM) corn and soybean. The GM crop biosensor, based on a method called loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), offers a fast and less expensive alternative to the point-of-need molecular tools already on the market.

A growing toolkit from a team at Purdue University now includes a portable, paper-based biosensor designed to identify genetically modified (GM) corn and soybean. Built on a technique known as loop-mediated isothermal amplification (LAMP), this biosensor offers a faster, more affordable alternative to current field-ready molecular diagnostic tools.

In the march of metastasis, a molecular trail of crumbs guides some cancer cells from the primary tumor to establish new colonies within the body. Blocking the cells’ ability to follow the trail might halt metastasis but could also meddle with an intricate cellular signaling system critical to immune response. Purdue University scientists are deciphering this signaling system to better understand how it could be used to address multiple diseases, including cancer.
