Testing for diseases such as cancer and multiple sclerosis could soon be as simple as using a pregnancy testing kit.
A team led by scientists at the University of Leeds has developed a biosensor technology that uses antibodies to detect biomarkers – molecules in the human body which are often a marker for disease – much [...]

Study says caffeine may help prevent multiple sclerosis (MS).
A new study finds that mice immunized to develop an MS-like condition were protected from the disease by drinking caffeine. Giving mice the equivalent of 6 to 8 cups of coffee a day prevented mice from getting the animal model equivalent of MS, said researchers.
MS is [...]
