Academic-industry partnerships are playing a crucial role in advancing computational pathology. At the Digital Pathology and AI Congress: Europe in London in December, Liron Pantanowitz outlined the benefits and risks of such collaborations – and why he believes the advantages outweigh the potential pitfalls.
Obesity may change how early-stage breast cancer becomes invasive, according to a new study. The findings could help improve physicians’ ability to predict and treat the disease.
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.
New research has found that a genetic factor best known for increasing the risk of Alzheimer's disease, may also influence how pathological changes spread in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).
A multidisciplinary team of pathologists, oncologists and biologists has discovered a new biomarker to determine whether immunotherapy may work in people with colon and rectal cancer.
AI models can generate more complete summaries of complex cancer pathology reports than physicians, according to a new study that tested six models developed by Meta, Google, DeepSeek and Mistral AI.
Researchers have developed an AI model showing that it is possible to detect different neurodegenerative diseases - for example, Alzheimer’s and Lewy body disease - from a single blood sample.
A new X-ray imaging technique could transform how hospitals analyse tissue samples, potentially speeding up diagnoses and improving outcomes for patients, a new study shows.
Pancreatic cancer remains a diagnostic challenge, due to unspecific early symptoms and lack of effective screening tools. A novel AI metabolomics platform could help overcome these issues.
Computational pathology is becoming increasingly important in helping deliver precision medicine to a wider range of patients. Experts at the 37th European Congress of Pathology in Vienna discussed how algorithms can optimise laboratory workflows, generate stronger evidence for molecular tumour boards, and enhance clinical trial design.
The Blood Transfusion service at Aneurin Bevan University Health Board (ABUHB) has implemented Clinisys WinPath LIMS, marking the first deployment of this system in Wales.
Researchers have discovered that amyloid-β deposits - similar to those found in Alzheimer’s disease - may contribute to the development of preeclampsia during pregnancy.
A sample of inequality: A new study shows that AI models can infer demographic information from pathology slides, leading to bias in cancer diagnosis among different populations.
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a hospital-acquired bacterium that causes serious infections, can move from the lungs to the gut inside the same patient, raising the risk of sepsis, new research reveals.
Delivering a pathology service in resource-constrained locations and developing countries remains a challenge. Cost is a significant barrier, as is the availability of equipment, trained staff and technical and IT support can also hinder a desire from clinicians and pathologists to give their patients a high level of service to help their diagnosis and recovery. The subject was tackled in a…
Researchers have created a system that uses generative AI to study the shape and structure of blood cells, and spot unusual or rare cells that may indicate disease such as leukaemia.
The NanoZoomer S540MD by Hamamatsu is engineered with the lab in mind for a seamless workflow. Featuring compatibility with staining racks, fast slide scanning, exceptional image quality, and an intuitive touchscreen interface, this high-capacity scanner is built to handle the needs of the clinical pathology laboratory.
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…
