Welcome to Stockholm! Over the coming days, experts at the 38th European Congress of Pathology will discuss the latest advances in pathology, molecular biology, and diagnostics under the motto "Innovation Driving Excellence in Pathology." Our special ECP newsletter features a field report of a pioneering healthcare system in the US introducing DICOM-based digital pathology PACS – a blueprint for institutions planning their own digital transition. Further topics include a step-by-step guide to lab automation, AI-driven pan-cancer diagnostics, novel approaches to accelerating sepsis diagnosis, and nanophotonic slides enabling stain-free histology. Enjoy reading!

Putting β-glucan testing into everyday practice for fungal infections

Invasive fungal infections are notoriously hard to catch early, and even harder to rule out with confidence. At CHU Bordeaux, Dr Frédéric Gabriel has spent years refining how his lab uses β-D-glucan (BDG) testing to sharpen that judgement call ...

Article • Reshaping laboratory efficiency

From bottleneck to breakthrough: a step-by-step path to lab automation

The growing demand for diagnostic testing is pushing laboratories to rethink how they operate – and automation is emerging as the answer. At the Laboratory Equipment and Technology Trade Fair – Labs Expo – held in Poznań, Poland, industry ...

New: EIZO PX3150 for digital pathology

Discover the new EIZO PX3150 live at the European Congress of Pathology in Stockholm (September 12–16) at EIZO booth 425. The PX3150 is EIZO's first 30.5-inch, 8-megapixel monitor purpose-built for digital pathology. Learn more...

News • Exploring the landscape of tumour methylation

Parsing the pathology of prostate cancer

Why do some prostate cancers grow slowly and remain localized while others become aggressive and metastasize? In a new paper, researchers identify the answer: tumor methylation.

News • Deep visual multi-omics profiling

Digital pathology AI to break down tumor cell populations

Digital pathology and spatial omics could enable researchers to see how a tumor's different cell populations function, opening new perspectives for precision cancer therapy.

Article • Digital pathology

From single-tumour to pan-cancer AI diagnostics

AI is transforming the way cancer is diagnosed and treated. Dr Yuri Tolkach shared his group's advances in developing AI-based tools for oncological pathology at the DPAI Europe congress.

News • dMMR prediction

AI helps analyse colorectal cancer samples

A new AI model enables more efficient analysis of tissue samples taken from colorectal cancer tumours. This can help shorten diagnosis times, reduce costs, and improve diagnostic accuracy.

News • Differences in bacterial communication

Parkinson's disease: clues in the gut microbiome

Findings of a new study suggest that changes in the gut microbiome could be linked to Parkinson’s disease and may eventually help researchers identify new underlying mechanisms for the condition.

News • Early detection biomarker

Using gut bacteria to predict diabetes risk

The presence of certain bacteria in the gut microbiota, and fluctuations in a person’s metabolism, have been identified as potential biomarkers for type 2 diabetes years before its onset.

News • Bloodstream infections

Rethinking bacterial culturing to accelerate sepsis diagnostics

Using a specialized “broth”, researchers have developed a way to condense the days-long diagnosis timeline for sepsis to just hours, facilitating faster diagnosis and clinical decision-making.

News • Fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy

New technique could aid targeted lung cancer treatment

Detecting genetic mutations associated with lung cancer via laboratory tests can be expensive and time-consuming, and use up valuable tissue from small biopsy samples. A new approach aims to fix this.

News • Women's health

Adenomyosis: New insights on under-recognised condition

Adenomyosis can cause heavy menstrual bleeding, severe pain, and pregnancy and fertility complications. New research could help pave the way for more targeted, less invasive treatments.

News • Stain-Free Histology

Nanophotonic slides add color to tissue samples

Researchers have developed a method to enhance the cellular features in pathology slides based on “structural color” – the same effect that gives peacock feathers their unique sheen.
