Biomarker testing is ushering in a novel era of therapy personalisation for gastroesophageal and colorectal cancers, according to experts presenting at the 37th European Congress of Pathology in Vienna this September. During a session on state-of-the-art in gastrointestinal biomarkers, speakers outlined how targeted therapies and immunotherapies are transforming treatment options – but…
Newly discovered blood biomarkers may offer new options to track Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) in a less invasive way than physical tests or biopsies. This could support more tailored treatments.
Researchers have discovered a previously unknown mechanism that explains how bacteria within a tumor can drive treatment resistance in patients with oral and colorectal cancer.
In the NICU, a few hours can mean the difference between unnecessary procedures and targeted, life-saving treatment. A new speed record for WGS opens new diagnostic possibilities.
Scientists are on the way to finding a vaccine to fight off Helicobacter pylori - a bacterium found in over 60% of people - possibly preventing stomach ulcers and lowering the risk for stomach cancer.
Chronic fatigue (ME/CFS) affects millions worldwide, but is poorly understood and has long lacked reliable diagnostic tools. Now, a new blood test claims to diagnose the condition with 96% accuracy.
HIV manages to persist in the body for decades after infection and treatment. Now, researchers discovered that the virus cloaks itself in the DNA of infected cells using unique DNA patterns.
Researchers from the University of Birmingham’s Bladder Cancer Research Centre have found a new way of detecting tumour DNA in urine to identify bladder cancer.
A new technique has measured boron in individual cancer cells for the first time, enabling researchers to better understand how drugs act to kill tumours in some cancers.
A new study shows that a gene expression test on routinely collected prostate tissue can help guide therapy choices for prostate cancer patients whose cancer has spread to other parts of the body.
An unexpected trigger for heart attack: Researchers show that dormant bacteria can contribute to atherosclerotic plaques and fatal myocardial infarction, effectively making it an infectious disease.

Self-learning artificial intelligence approaches are offering a number of advantages for digital pathology when compared to established AI options. The benefits, which range from greater speed and capacitive flexibility to ‘wholly interpretable’ analyses, were outlined at the Digital Pathology and AI Congress in London.
Scientists developed an AI-based approach to diagnose colorectal cancer from different microbial subgroups in the gut microbiota – a non-invasive and low-cost alternative to colonoscopy screening.
Men assessed as healthy may still have an early form of prostate cancer. Using AI, researchers found signs that were missed in more than 80% of samples of men who later developed cancer.
New research suggests that KFRE, a common prognostic tool to predict kidney failure, could underestimate the risk for individuals with chronic kidney disease (CKD) who also have frailty.
Remote monitoring via microfluidic platforms, AI-assisted sensor systems, and more: Attendees of the Labmed Forum at Medica saw impressive examples on how wearable technology is becoming a transformative force in laboratory medicine to improve real-time monitoring of patients, covering widespread conditions such as diabetes, asthma and COPD. With an emphasis on remote monitoring, devices are…
Type 2 diabetes greatly increases the risk of heart attacks, strokes, anginas, and other coronary heart diseases. Therefore, biomarkers to predict individual risk are needed, experts say.
A multicenter study involving leading hospitals across Spain, has confirmed that people with COPD show altered levels of specific metabolites in their blood.
Agilent Technologies Inc. announced the introduction of its Dako Omnis family of instruments with three new models—Agilent Dako Omnis 110, 165, and 165 Duo—designed to meet the evolving needs of pathology laboratories of all sizes.
