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.

Colombian family's Alzheimer's anomaly offers insights into disease pathogenesis and prevention

Alzheimer's disease has plagued one large Colombian family for generations, striking down half of its members in the prime of life.

New biomarker for inflammatory bowel disease identified through reverse metabolomics

In recent years, microbiome research has started to shift its focus from the microbes themselves to the molecules they produce.

UCLA researchers win NCI grants to advance liquid biopsy for early detection of cancer

Researchers from the UCLA Health Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center have received two grants totaling $9.1 million from the National Cancer Institute to advance liquid biopsy technologies for the early detection of cancer, which can significantly improve treatment outcomes and reduce the number of deaths caused by the disease.

New insights into the interplay between prions and TDP-43 in neurodegenerative pathology

Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by the deposition of clumped proteins in the brain and progressive neuronal cell death.

Conscientiousness, extraversion, and positive affect may reduce dementia risk

People with personality traits such as conscientiousness, extraversion and positive affect are less likely to be diagnosed with dementia than those with neuroticism and negative affect, according to a new analysis by researchers at the University of California, Davis and Northwestern University. The difference was not linked to physical damage to brain tissue found in dementia patients, but more likely to how certain personality traits help people navigate dementia-related impairments.

AI transforms colonoscopy: Boosting detection rates, slashing miss rates in cancer screening

Researchers in China have demonstrated through a systematic review and meta-analysis that AI-based methods significantly enhance adenoma detection rates and reduce miss rates during colonoscopies, potentially improving colorectal cancer screening and reducing mortality.

Gut microbe Lactobacillus found to bolster stress resilience, new study reveals

Study demonstrates that the gut microbe Lactobacillus helps maintain normal levels of the cytokine interferon-gamma (IFNγ), providing protection against stress-induced disruptions in a mouse model. The findings suggest Lactobacillus's crucial role in building resilience to environmental stressors, highlighting its potential in treating mood disorders.
