The Comprehensive Stroke Center at UMMC has been recognized by the American Heart Association as one of the best in the nation.
UMSOM researchers develop two accurate, rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19 Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have developed two rapid diagnostic tests for COVID-19 that are nearly as accurate as the gold-standard test currently used in laboratories. Unlike the gold standard test, which extracts RNA and uses it to amplify the DNA of the virus, these new tests can detect the presence of the virus in as little as five minutes using different methods. One test is a COVID-19 molecular diagnostic test, called Antisense, that uses electrochemical sensing to detect...
Researchers identify new potential mechanism for age-related macular degeneration Using laboratory-grown roundworms as well as human and mouse eye tissue, University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) researchers have identified a new potential mechanism for age-related macular degeneration-;the leading cause of blindness among older adults. The UMSOM researchers say that the findings suggest a new and distinct cause that is different from the previous model of a problematic immune system, showing that the structural organization of the eye's light-detecting cells may be affected by the d...
