In many cases, metastatic breast cancer is still incurable. To improve the odds, researchers have now analyzed the diversity of metastatic cells and their interactions with their cellular environment.
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.
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.
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).
Interdisciplinary collaboration between gynaecologists, radiologists, pathologists and breast care nurses following a palpation finding makes a decisive contribution to the success of further breast cancer treatment. This was the consensus among the speakers at the Annual Congress of the German Society of Senology in Dresden. The experts provided clear explanations of which imaging is best for…
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.
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.
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.
Tackling standardization of molecular pathology at a European level remains a major challenge, according to speakers at the 35th European Congress of Pathology in Dublin. One leading expert warned it would be ‘very difficult’ to achieve, though the session also heard about potential solutions such as educational steps to consistently train future pathologists at a high and consistent level.
When point-of-care testing (POCT) models for diagnosing infectious disease are effective, the quality of pathology results can be equivalent to laboratory tests, new research shows.
Embark on a journey of unparalleled efficiency and precision with Sakura Finetek Europe's newest innovation in identification technology: the Tissue-Tek xPrint® LP Laser Cassette Printer.
A new study used new molecular analyses to unravel the biological mechanisms of pediatric brain tumors and refine their classification.
Tissue biopsy and liquid biopsy can increasingly be used as complementary or alternative approaches, with advantages and limitations to each. While speakers at the recent 35th European Congress of Pathology in Dublin were quick to highlight that liquid biopsy was not about to replace tissue biopsy, the focus looked at the benefits and challenges of each through the lens of four expert speakers.
Adding a new dimension to pathology: Researchers explore new, deep learning models that can use 3D pathology datasets to make clinical outcome predictions for curated prostate cancer specimens.
A study highlights performance differences in computational pathology systems, depending on demographic profiles associated with histology images. The researchers also propose a way to fix this bias.
Sakura Finetek Europe has appointed Jaap Stuut as the President and General Manager. He will lead the company's EMEAI division in this role, shaping the its mission, vision, and long-term strategy.
Researchers discovered three distinct immunological endophenotypes of multiple sclerosis, defined by specific blood immune signatures. This opens new avenues for personalized treatment strategies.
In diagnostics, there used to be a hard divide between radiology and pathology, where methods were largely considered incompatible with one another. However, to pave the way for next-generation diagnosis, Professor Regina Beets-Tan urged both sides to come out from their trenches and appreciate the synergies the fields have to offer. In her presentation at the European Congress of Radiology (ECR)…
Some year in this decade, AI tools will become ubiquitous within clinical laboratories. AI has the potential to increase the accuracy of laboratory testing and improve the quality and efficiency of operations and service of testing labs.
Researchers work on the first prototype that applies AI to colorectal diagnosis. The prototype achieved a diagnostic acuity of 93.44% and a sensitivity of 99.7% in the detection of high-risk lesions.
Under certain circumstances, lung tumours can transform into another, more aggressive cancer type. Now, researchers have found a way to illuminate this process, known as histological transformation.
Ahead of World Cancer Day on 4 February, scientists are revealing a cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) tool designed to help grade cancer, by analysing cell division.
The underlying mechanisms of Guillain-Barré Syndrome (GBS) have remained largely unknown until now. New research now uncovers a pivotal aspect of GBS pathophysiology.
Bringing digital pathology together with novel multiplexed staining techniques may answer key questions about complex diseases. Pathologist Lukas Marcelis, MD, PhD, believes such combinations of technology will have benefits for clinicians and patients and can help unravel some of the mysteries surrounding a range of conditions.
