RPA-LF Assay Evaluated for Cutaneous Leishmaniasis in Colombia

Cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) is a recognized public health challenge in the Americas, with an average of 55,000 cases per year between 2001 and 2018 in 17 countries of the region. Most cases (79.4%) have been acquired in and continue to occur in rural areas. More...

Rapid, Direct-to-Digital Prostate Biopsy Pathology Evaluated

Increasing adoption of digital pathology promises marked improvements in reproducibility, efficiency, and accuracy of tissue-based diagnostics by facilitating routine remote expert consultation and enabling computerized image analysis for clinical use. More...

Gel and Capillary Electrophoresis Compared for Human Proteins

The electrophoresis of serum proteins remains a laboratory cornerstone for the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with plasma cell disorders, such as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance, multiple myeloma, Waldenström macroglobulinemia, and AL amyloidosis. More...

Developed Immunoassay Predicts Benefits of Anti-PD-1 Therapy in NSCLC

Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide. However, current targeted therapies and immunotherapies have gradually improved patient survival. Anti-programmed cell death-1 (PD-1) antibodies (Abs) are key drugs in non-small-cell lung cancer treatment; however, clinical benefits with anti-PD-1 monotherapy are limited. More...

Holographic Histopathology Enables Fast, Precise Diagnostics

Microscopic assessment of biopsied and resected tissues is central to understanding the underlying pathophysiology and clinical states of many patients. Because most microscopic specimens are translucent to visible light, conventional histological methods achieve image contrast using exogenous labels. More...

A Novel Capsule-Based Smell Test for Diagnosis of Neurological and Respiratory Diseases

To aid in diagnosing diseases where loss of the sense of smell is a symptom, such as in chronic neurological conditions like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's diseases and in acute respiratory infections such as that caused by COVID-19, a team of researchers at Queen Mary University of London (United Kingdom) developed a novel smell testing kit based on capsules of aromatic oils placed between two strips of single-sided tape.

Spatial Tissue Profiled by Imaging-Free Molecular Tomography

Spatially resolved molecular atlases help scientists understand where different types of cells are located in the body and map their gene expression in specific locations in tissues and organs. However, many sequencing modalities lack spatial counterparts. More...
