Single-Cell Analysis Provides New Insights into Mitochondrial Diseases

Mitochondrial diseases result from failure of mitochondria, specialized compartments within cells that contain their own DNA and produce the energy needed to sustain life. Some of the most challenging mitochondrial disorders arise from mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a high-copy-number genome that is maternally inherited. More...

Prostate Cancer Identified By Profiling Immune Cell Subsets

With an estimated 1.8 million new cases in 2018 alone, prostate cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the world. Diagnosing the disease early increases the chances of survival, but this cancer remains difficult to detect. More...

Circulating tumor DNA Test Predicts Immunotherapy Response

 Immunotherapy is a type of cancer treatment that helps the immune system fight cancer. Although some cancer patients derive dramatic and sustained benefit from immunotherapy, most cancer patients do not. More...

Renal Expression of Immunomodulators in Diabetic Nephropathy

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a chronic microvascular complication that affects about 20% to 30% of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). It is considered the leading cause of end-stage renal failure requiring renal replacement therapy. More...

Simple Urine Test Significantly Improves Detection of Adrenal Cancer

Prognosis for patients discovered to have an adrenal cortical carcinoma (ACC), a cancerous adrenal mass, is poor, and a cure is only achievable through early detection and surgery. The incidental discovery of an adrenal mass often triggers additional scans to determine whether the mass is cancerous. More...

Somatic Evolution Identified in Non-Neoplastic IBD-Affected Colon

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a debilitating disease characterized by repeated flares of intestinal inflammation. The two major subtypes of IBD, Crohn’s disease (CD) and ulcerative colitis (UC) are distinguished by the location, continuity, and nature of the inflammatory lesions. More...

Digital Pathology Solution Resolves the Tissue Floater Conundrum

In routine clinical practice, pathologists may encounter extraneous pieces of tissue on glass slides that could be because of contamination from other specimens. These are typically called tissue floaters. The dilemma pathologists often face is whether such a tissue floater truly belongs to the case in question, or if instead it represents a true contaminant from another patient’s sample in which case it should be ignored.
