When this idea was tested
on human blood samples, the researchers found that subjects who suffered from depression had unusually low miR135 levels in their blood.

The team is also implementing transient tests that, to their knowledge, have never been conducted
on blood samples before and are designed to explore the flow regimes that occur in the
human body.
Larger biomarker signatures can be detected with technology from CDI Laboratories, which offers microarrays of functional
human proteins (over 20,000
on a single array) to test the antibodies present in
human liquid biopsy
samples, such as
blood, serum, plasma, CSF, or tissue lysates.
Researchers theorized that something similar might be going
on in obese
humans, but when they began taking
blood samples, they found that obese people show very high levels of leptin.
These techniques include:
human tissue created by reprogramming cells from people with the relevant disease (dubbed «patient in a dish»); «body
on a chip» devices, where
human tissue
samples on a silicon chip are linked by a circulating
blood substitute; many computer modelling approaches, such as virtual organs, virtual patients and virtual clinical trials; and microdosing studies, where tiny doses of drugs given to volunteers allow scientists to study their metabolism in
humans, safely and with unsurpassed accuracy.
By testing all those
samples, I identified microbes inhabiting the animal reservoirs and focused
on those that showed up in the hunters»
blood, making them candidates for firing up
human disease.
We report unbiased metagenomic detection of chikungunya virus (CHIKV), Ebola virus (EBOV), and hepatitis C virus (HCV) from four
human blood samples by MinION nanopore sequencing coupled to a newly developed, web - based pipeline for real - time bioinformatics analysis
on a computational server or laptop (MetaPORE).
