   Higher levels of a protein called S-100 in melanoma patients may correlate with a higher risk of the disease returning, say researchers at the University of Pittsburgh Cancer Institute. The study tested serum samples from 103 patients treated with high-dose interferon an average of eight years prior. When the researchers examined levels of S-100 in the samples, they found that the higher the level of the protein, the greater likelihood the disease had returned.

7. Low level of neuronal receptor linked to mild cognitive impairment and Alzheimer's disease
   09-04-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Results of a new study indicate a strong link between the loss of the neuronal receptor LR11and onset of mild cognitive impairment (MCI), often a harbinger of Alzheimer's disease. The findings also show that levels of LR11 in the brain tissue reflect the severity of cognitive impairment and may predict which individuals will progress to Alzheimer's disease.
