Pathology News and Research

RSS

Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease through examination of organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and whole bodies (autopsies). The term also encompasses the related scientific study of disease processes, called General pathology. Medical pathology is divided in two main branches, Anatomical pathology and Clinical pathology. Veterinary pathology is concerned with animal disease whereas Phytopathology is the study of plant diseases.

Enhancing ALS diagnosis with dual blood biomarkers

Despite modern imaging and genetic testing, diagnosing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) remains challenging, particularly when distinguishing it from clinically similar neurodegenerative disorders.

New genetic marker may improve the ability to predict life-threatening reactions to gout medication

A newly identified genetic marker may significantly improve the ability to predict life-threatening reactions to the gout medication allopurinol in U.S. patients.

Novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal hidden structural variants

Standard laboratory tests can fail to detect many disease-causing DNA changes. Now, a novel 3D chromosome mapping method can reliably reveal these hidden structural variants and lead to new discoveries.

Two analgesic drugs may one day be repurposed as anti-tumor therapies

Peripheral afferent neurons - nerves that send signals from all areas of the body to the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) - are known to infiltrate and grow within malignant bone tumors called osteosarcomas, often accompanied by severe pain.

Newly discovered perineural pathway enables HIV virus to redistribute throughout the body

Addressing the question of whether and how immune cells (macrophages) in the central nervous system (CNS) traffic out, researchers have now identified a perineural pathway through which the HIV virus can redistribute throughout the body.

Daily 40Hz audiovisual stimulation may slow cognitive decline in late-onset Alzheimer's patients

A new research paper documents the outcomes of five volunteers who continued to receive 40Hz light and sound stimulation for around two years after participating in an MIT early-stage clinical study of the potential Alzheimer's disease therapy.

How many headers are too many before football crosses the safety line?

A systematic review in the British Journal of Sports Medicine finds major inconsistencies in how heading impacts are measured, urging the use of wearable technology and standardized metrics to safeguard players from potential long-term brain injury.

New discovery reshapes understanding of how brain inflammation arises in Alzheimer's disease

Researchers at the University of California, Irvine, have uncovered an unexpected molecular partnership that reshapes scientists' understanding of how brain inflammation arises in Alzheimer's disease.

AI tool detects intestinal parasites in stool samples more accurately than traditional methods

Scientists at ARUP Laboratories have developed an artificial intelligence (AI) tool that detects intestinal parasites in stool samples more quickly and accurately than traditional methods, potentially transforming how labs diagnose parasitic infections around the world.

Disruption of glial circadian rhythms linked to Alzheimer's disease progression

Alzheimer's disease is notorious for scrambling patients' daily rhythms. Restless nights with little sleep and increased napping during the day are early indicators of disease onset, while sundowning, or confusion later in the day, is typical for later stages of the disease.

New gene-editing method can correct many disease-causing mutations in mammalian cells

Some genetic disorders-such as cystic fibrosis, hemophilia and Tay Sachs disease-involve many mutations in a person's genome, often with enough variation that even two individuals who share the same disorder might have a different combination of mutations.

AI-driven eye screening aims to close the diabetic vision gap in community clinics

A new trial will evaluate whether integrating autonomous AI screening for diabetic retinopathy into U.S. federally qualified health centers can boost screening completion and accelerate early detection. The DRES-POCAI protocol tests a real-world, point-of-care model that links FDA-cleared AI with electronic health records to close gaps in diabetes eye care.

Study sheds light on how aging unfolds in pets and humans

Scientists have long sought measurable signs in the body, called biomarkers, that reliably reveal our biological age or predict future health issues.

Intelligent learning can accelerate global efforts to prevent cervical cancer

Cervical cancer, one of the most preventable yet lethal malignancies among women, continues to threaten lives globally due to unequal access to quality screening and diagnosis.

People with multiple sclerosis found to have dysbiotic oral microbiome

With ads everywhere for pro- or pre-biotic foods and supplements, most people are familiar with the gut microbiome-the trillions of bacteria, fungi, and viruses that colonize our digestive tract-and the idea that keeping our gut microbiome healthy improves our overall health.

Groundbreaking 3D dynamic cell co-culture models simulate MASLD progression

In a recent work published in BME Frontiers, a collaborative study by researchers from Griffith University, Queensland University of Technology, University of Queensland, and Nanjing Stomatological Hospital has introduced groundbreaking three-dimensional (3D) dynamic cell co-culture models to simulate metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) progression stages.

Discovery offers a breakthrough approach to combat prostate tumor growth

Prostate cancer relies on genetic "switches", called enhancers, that can turn on tumor-promoting genes.

22 Oct 2025

Study provides a new approach for the treatment of prostate tumors

An international research team led by the Medical University of Vienna has demonstrated for the first time that thyroid hormone plays a key role in the development and progression of prostate cancer.

AGA updates guidelines for Barrett's Esophagus to catch cancer early

The American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) released a new clinical practice guideline on the surveillance of Barrett's esophagus, the only known precursor to esophageal cancer (adenocarcinoma), a highly lethal cancer whose incidence has risen substantially over recent decades.

Heavy drinking fuels Alzheimer’s disease by igniting brain inflammation and protein damage

Chronic alcohol use accelerates Alzheimer’s disease (AD) progression by intensifying oxidative stress, neuroinflammation, and amyloid-tau pathology through shared molecular pathways. The review highlights emerging therapies, targeting TLR4, GSK-3β, and metabolic dysfunction, that may mitigate alcohol-induced neurodegeneration.
