Mayo Clinic discovery leads to life-changing treatment for young girl with ultra-rare disease

By Susan Murphy Susan Murphy (@susanmurphy)

Months after young Maggie Carmichael started taking an experimental drug for her ultra-rare genetic disease, she was able to trade in her wheelchair for a walker. The 9-year-old Mayo Clinic patient even took a few of her first-ever steps on her own. She also became better at feeding herself, her speech improved and she started coloring in the lines.

Multi-omics: A new model for identifying biomarkers to predict severe COVID-19 outcomes 

By Chris Bahnsen Chris Bahnsen (@cjbahnsen)

In a groundbreaking study published in The Lancet Digital Health, Mayo Clinic investigators have developed a multiomic molecular method to predict clinical COVID-19 (SARS-CoV-2) outcomes better than traditional cytokines. Using a machine-learning-based prediction model, the team identified 102 biomarkers, which include several novel cytokines and other proteins, lipids, and metabolites. The discovery may help clinicians reliably […]
