The micrograph shows: Simple mucinous epithelium (right) and mucinous epithelium that pseudo-stratifies (left - diagnostic of a LMP tumor). Epithelium in a frond-like architecture is seen at the top of image (Photo courtesy of Wikimedia Commons).

Protein Biomarker Panel Enables Early Detection of Cancer

Analysis of biomarker expression data from serum obtained from ovarian cancer patients has enabled development of an early detection tool for epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC). More...

C. Difficile Bacteria Adapted to Spread in Hospitals

Clostridioides difficile, also known as Clostridium difficile, bacteria can infect the gut and are the leading cause of antibiotic-associated diarrhea worldwide. While someone is healthy and not taking antibiotics, millions of 'good' bacteria in the gut keep the C. difficile under control. More...

Mutations Linked to Familial Pancreatic Cancer Identified

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma is an aggressive cancer with limited treatment options. Approximately 10% of cases exhibit familial predisposition, but causative genes are not known in most families. More...
