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.

Researchers uncover pathways of bacterial spread in the bloodstream

Bacteremia, or blood poisoning, occurs when bacteria overcome the body's immune defenses.

Study unravels the link between colorectal cancer risk and steatotic liver disease

Alcoholic and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are well-known risk factors for colorectal cancer (CRC).

Research shows exercise can delay Alzheimer’s, but there’s a catch

Regular physical activity slows the accumulation of p-tau181, a key Alzheimer’s biomarker, but its cognitive benefits diminish when tau levels are high.

Innovative ctDNA model could improve cancer progression monitoring

In metastatic cancer surveillance, monitoring the actual concentrations of circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) may be critical. Researchers showed that absolute ctDNA concentration thresholds can be defined to rule out or predict impending cancer progression.

Targeting FGFR mutations offers new hope for bone repair in skeletal disorders

Gain-of-function mutations in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) genes are known to cause a range of skeletal disorders, such as craniosynostosis and chondrodysplasia, which severely affect craniofacial and mandibular development.

21 Feb 2025

Key research priorities for understanding and treating appendiceal cancer

Appendiceal cancer is a rare cancer without standardized screening guidelines, risk factors or tumor classifications - a situation that often results in late diagnosis and poor prognosis.

Can chili peppers improve ADHD symptoms? Scientists explore their gut-brain connection

Chili peppers may influence ADHD symptoms by modulating the gut microbiome, with capsaicin, vitamin C, and omega-3 fatty acids showing potential effects on neurotransmitters and inflammation. However, clinical trials are needed to confirm their efficacy.

20 Feb 2025

New approach shows promise for treating fragile X syndrome

Building on more than two decades of research, a study by MIT neuroscientists at The Picower Institute for Learning and Memory reports a new way to treat pathology and symptoms of fragile X syndrome, the most common genetically-caused autism spectrum disorder.

Unfolded protein response disruptions contribute to colorectal cancer and gut-related disorders

The intestinal epithelium is a highly dynamic barrier that regulates digestion, absorption, immune responses, and communication between the gut microbiota and the nervous system.

Blood test for Alzheimer’s could replace costly and invasive spinal taps

Researchers indicate that the Lumipulse p-tau217 assay may reduce over 50% of lumbar punctures performed for diagnosing Alzheimer's disease.
