A new study claims a novel blood test can identify breast cancer years before clinical signs of the disease appear. The blood test is only in its preliminary stages of development, however, some scientists are skeptical of the researchers’ claims.
-
Provocative study suggests blood tests can predict a person's risk of dying within the next 10 years.

NASA has carried out another dramatic test of the emergency escape system for its upcoming Space Launch System (SLS). The Launch Abort System (LAS) sits at the very top of the rocket, and is tasked with forcefully pulling the crew out of harm’s way in the event of a life-threatening situation.
-
As part of a decade-long research project a newly published study has revealed the development of a blood test that can purportedly identify patients most at risk of developing post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and possibly even predict future psychiatric hospitalizations.
-
A new discovery from researchers at the University of Queensland could revolutionize the way doctors diagnose all cancers. The landmark research has created a fast and cheap cancer-detecting test based on the discovery of a unique DNA nanostructure thought to be common across all types of cancer.

ScienceA large clinical trial is underway on an exciting new blood test designed to help doctors determine whether a patient needs to undergo chemotherapy following surgery to remove cancerous tumors.
-
A key system for the first manned Orion deep space mission has been cleared for flight after NASA completed the final tests of the crew capsule parachutes on Wednesday. At the US Army Yuma Proving Grounds in Arizona, the last of of eight tests were completed using a dummy Orion capsule.

Last year an impressive study suggested a reliable set of blood biomarkers has been isolated that could successfully diagnose Autism Spectrum Disorder in children. Now a follow-up study has verified those results pointing towards further clinical trials and potentially a commercially available test.
-
A new blood test that can rapidly diagnose heart attacks has undergone further testing verifying it can nearly immediately identify whether a patient has had a heart attack or not.
-
A blood test that can identify chronic pain has been developed by a team of Australian researchers. The test can identify color changes in immune cells affected by chronic pain and give doctors a new way to diagnose the severity of pain in patients unable to adequately communicate it.
