Image: The ability of cancer cells to move and spread depends on actin-rich core structures such as the podosomes (yellow) shown here in melanoma cells. Cell nuclei (blue), actin (red), and an actin regulator (green) are also shown (Photo courtesy of Julio C. Valencia and Daniel Mietchken, via Wikimedia).

Early Detection Among Benefits of Skin Cancer Screening at Primary Care Visits

According to new research, skin cancer screenings performed by primary care physicians (PCPs) during routine office visits improves detection of potentially deadly melanomas and find them in earlier stages. More...

Placental Malaria Diagnosed In Poorly Processed Placental Tissue

Placental histopathology has been considered the gold standard for diagnosis of malaria during pregnancy; however, in under-resourced areas placental tissue is often improperly fixed and processed; the resulting formalin pigment is difficult to distinguish from malaria pigment. More...
