From clinical chemistry to digital pathology: Read more about how modern medical laboratories and procedures in pathology play a vital role in the detection and prevention of diseases and in medical research.
New insights into metastasis: Scientists created a 3D-printed model to mimic the specific conditions that spur the spread of cancer cells. This could help discover new screening and treatment options.
By combining mass spectrometry and mass cytometry imaging techniques, researchers can now dive deeper into tumors and map the metabolism of individual cells in tumor tissue.
Before administering certain drugs, doctors check a patient’s kidney function by testing their blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels. New research shows that gold nanoparticles might give more accurate results.
Sakura Finetek’s Tissue-Tek Xpress® x120 Rapid Tissue Processor is the only instrument on the market that allows for continuous, rapid processing of both biopsy and larger tissue, resulting in a streamlined histology workflow. Being part of Sakura’s SMART Automation concept, this tissue processing solution is designed to automate manual work and create a continuous flow throughout the lab.
A new study confirms fibrosis as a prognostic indicator in HER2-negative, the most common breast cancer, and opens the way to antifibrotic drug treatments.
The delivery of blood samples via drone from a hospital to a medical laboratory can save a lot of time, compared with land-based transport. A new trial explores the potential in London.
While awareness for antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in bacteria is relatively high, fungal pathogens remain largely ignored – a blind spot with potentially dire consequences for global health.
Testing from histopathology laboratories is considered the gold standard for many diseases. To avoid errors that can significantly impact patient outcomes, an expert details on quality assurance (QA).
A new method of analysing the crystals in dehydrated blood could lead to a quicker, cheaper and less painful technique to diagnose, early detect, and monitor prostate cancer.
In a recent study, researchers proposed a novel technique to help make stained histopathological image datasets more useful for many emerging machine-learning-based classification systems.
Researchers have developed an artificial intelligence which can differentiate cancer cells from normal cells, as well as detect the very early stages of viral infection inside cells.
Cologne researchers have developed an AI-based digital pathology platform to enable extremely fast and accurate fully automated analysis of tissue sections from lung cancer patients.
Researchers discovered a gene that might be a key factor in the progression of Huntington’s disease in organoids. The gene may contribute to brain abnormalities much earlier than previously thought.
Brazilian researchers have identified a key mechanism of Sars-CoV-2 to manipulate its host’s immune defense. This discovery could pave the way for the development of novel therapies.
Infections caused by antibiotic-resistant (AMR) bacteria are a major issue in hospitals. A new technique aims to effectively track all types of relevant microorganisms simultaneously.
Systemic lupus erythematodes can lead to severe kidney damage. However, until now, the cause for this remained unclear. New research has now revealed the underlying mechanism.
Many patients with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) suffer from neurobehavioral difficulties that can significantly impact quality of life. A new screening tool shows promise for assessing this.
A new method could lead to a significantly more precise and reliable diagnosis of pancreatic cancer. It is based on the selective detection of specific antibodies in blood samples.
A novel test aims to predict whether Alzheimer’s patients are genetically predisposed to side effects from anti-amyloid drugs, a promising new class of Alzheimer’s therapeutics.
Dermatologists could benefit from a new algorithm that can help recognize patients with a highly aggressive form of basal cell carcinoma (BCC) of the face.
Using vascular organoids derived from stem cells, researchers gain new insights into how diabetes damages blood vessels. This could lead to to the development of new treatments.
Researchers have developed a fluorescence assay for viral integrity (or FAIRY, for short), to quickly determine the effectiveness of countermeasures against a given virus.
Klebsiella is among the top three pathogens responsible for hospital-acquired infections (HAIs). Now, researchers discovered why the bacteria thrive in clinical environments.
New research shows that the AI large language model ChatGPT can be tailored to provide accurate responses to questions about digital pathology and compile detailed results.
Ductal Carcinoma in Situ (DCIS) often develop into more invasive forms of breast cancer. To predict which DCIS patients are likely to be affected, researchers have developed an analytic AI-based tool.
