itaylor+FollowCould This Blood Test Predict Preemies?Scientists just found that certain tiny RNAs (tsRNAs) floating in a pregnant woman’s blood could be early warning signs for preterm labor. Two of these tsRNAs were way higher in women who went into labor too soon, and one (tsRNA1) even messes with placenta cells, making things riskier for mom and baby. If this pans out, we might have a simple blood test to spot preterm birth risk way earlier than ever before! #PregnancyScience #PretermBirth #Biomarkers #WomensHealth #MedicalBreakthrough #Health00Share
shermandarlene+FollowBlood Test Clues Before Symptoms? Wild!Scientists just found that a blood protein called GFAP is higher in people with hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTRv)—even before they show symptoms! Another marker, NfL, only goes up once symptoms start. Basically, a simple blood test could help spot this rare nerve disease way earlier than we thought. Oh, and women naturally have more GFAP, so that’s gotta be factored in. Medical mysteries, am I right? #MedicalNews #RareDisease #ScienceUpdate #Biomarkers #HealthDiscovery #Health171Share
