When someone is infected with a virus, traces of it are shed in their bodily waste and end up in the sewage system. Thus, combined wastewater and individual testing can benefit public health response.
Starting fecal immunochemical testing (FIT) early significantly reduces both the incidence and mortality of colorectal cancer. These results of a new study support earlier screening.
More consistent TIL assessments, more accurate patients' prognoses: New research shows how AI sharpens pathologists' interpretation of tissue samples for malignant melanoma.
Molecular markers in saliva could reveal the risk of a person developing major diseases such as cancer, cardiovascular diseases, diabetes and neurodegenerative diseases, new research finds.
Digital pathology software company Fujifilm Healthcare Europe and Ibex Medical Analytics, specializing in AI-powered cancer diagnostics, announce a formal partnership to support efficient and accurate cancer diagnosis.
Newly developed technology can detect breast cancer relapses up to five years in advance. This advance could represent a turning point in post-treatment follow-up, the researchers hope.
A new ‘liquid biopsy’ test can help fast-track lung cancer patients to receive targeted therapy up to two weeks earlier, while helping avoid further tests and treatments including chemotherapy.
Using nine different molecular biological technologies, researchers were able to precisely measure the properties of a melanoma tumor in four weeks and enable a precise treatment decision.
Tongue squamous cell carcinoma, the most common type of oral cancer, is a challenging target for immunotherapies. Researchers now identified five immunotypes to better predict treatment response.
Microbiota composition can help prevent pathogenic bacteria from proliferating, known as the barrier effect. Now, scientists have identified seven bacteria involved, paving the way for new therapies.
Newborns, especially those born prematurely, are vulnerable to conditions such as sepsis. A new device profiles an infant’s immune function from a single drop of blood to improve neonatal care.
An Australian research team has developed a blood-based method of analysing thousands of proteins in a single, untargeted test. This potentially enables rapid diagnosis of many rare genetic diseases.
A University of Liverpool study has used advanced genetic and genomic techniques to offer a major step forward in understanding and diagnosing infectious intestinal diseases.
A US research team has shown that Sars-CoV-2 can “reprogram” pathogen-fighting white blood cells into immune system suppressing cells — a potential mechanism by which severe Covid may arise.
New research shows that dysfunction in the mitochondria linked to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) occurs before the cells show other signs of disease, which was not previously known.
North Bristol NHS Trust and Fujifilm Healthcare Europe continue their long-standing relationship, with the establishment of a reference site agreement for the company's new pathology solution.
Finding ways to target antibiotic-resistant bacteria is a scientific and medical priority. A consortium of researchers identified a compound capable of blocking a key protein for virulence, thus “disarming” the pathogenic bacteria.
Using AI and extensive analyses of gene activity in tumours, researchers have found new, precise biomarkers to diagnose prostate cancer at an early stage through a simple urine sample.
Molecular testing provides a more convenient, personalized way of monitoring of heart transplant recipients, according to insights shared at the Annual Meeting and Scientific Sessions of the ISHLT.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, everyone became familiar with lateral flow tests. These tests generate a lot of plastic waste, creating an environmental crisis. Experts call for urgent action.
Dutch researchers have developed an AI tool to support Mohs surgery, a precise but time-consuming procedure to treat the most common form of cancer in the Netherlands: basal cell carcinoma.
Pancreatic cancer is one of the most aggressive cancers, partly due to its tumor microenvironment, known as the stroma. Now, a study has identified a new key factor contributing to this feature.
A new, simpler and cheaper analytical method for the early detection of Alzheimer's disease could help bring blood tests into the healthcare system globally, according to a new study.
Due to the effects of climate change, dengue is spreading worldwide. Now, researchers have developed a 'dengue-on-a-chip' model that helps study the virus more effectively.
New research reveals a method that uses pulsed infrared light to identify molecular profiles in blood plasma that could indicate the presence of certain common cancers.
