Citrullinated tenascin-C may offer the ability to detect incipient rheumatoid arthritis in a subset of patients as much as 16 years before the onset of disease

Shortages of Gelidium are affecting the global supply of agar, driving up prices and causing decreased availability

A new immunotherapy approach shows that engineered T cells are able to penetrate into pancreatic tumors and directly attack the cancer

Pancreatic cancer is a challenge to stage because there’s no good molecular imaging method – but three new antibody conjugates may change that

New super-resolution microscopy techniques give us better insight into how our immune cells fight cancer, and how we can help

UK report demands serious changes to diagnostic development to slow the pace of antimicrobial resistance

Molecular techniques can offer rapid, accurate diagnosis of lung infections in cystic fibrosis, but most labs feel the technologies are out of reach. What if there was an affordable alternative?

But what does the recent approval of this immunotherapy mean for pathology labs?

Could a technique that detects all known human viruses take the guesswork out of ordering lab tests?

Molecular diagnostics provide us with huge amounts of data – but, as a profession, we’re still working on the best ways of collecting and using it
