Doctors who study tissue changes to diagnose diseases are also regular internet users, just like millions of others. A new survey takes a close look at how pathologists in Turkey use social platforms in their work and free time. Instead of focusing only on numbers, the study asks why some hesitate b
Brain tumor diagnosis isn’t just about scans and symptoms anymore. Doctors now rely on detailed lab tests to pick the right treatment. But in many places with fewer resources, these advanced tests are hard to find. A look at brain cancer care shows why this matters. A major global health report hig
Scientists found that a protein from egg yolks, called yolkin, can help mice fight off severe infections. This protein can calm down the body's extreme reactions to infections, like those caused by harmful bacteria. Researchers gave yolkin to mice in two ways: through drinking water and directly in
A recent study looked at how terrorism can shape a family's future. It focused on parents who went through a terrorist attack and their kids, who were children at the time. The study wanted to see if the parents' mental health struggles after the attack had any long-term effects on their kids. The
Fulgent Genetics is making a big move in the lab world. They're buying two companies, Bako Diagnostics and StrataDx, for a cool $55. 5 million. This deal is expected to close in the first half of 2026, but only if all the necessary approvals come through. Fulgent is known for its tech-based approac
In the world of sugarcane, there's a sneaky bacterium called Xanthomonas albilineans that causes leaf scald disease. It's a tiny troublemaker with a small genome, which might be why it's so good at living inside plants. Scientists recently took a close look at what this bacterium is doing inside sug
Gastrointestinal (GI) cancers are a big problem. They cause many deaths around the world. In Nepal, doctors wanted to learn more about these cancers. They looked at how common they are, the symptoms people have, and what they look like under the microscope. The study happened in a lab in Kathmandu.
In the lush gardens of Nanjing, a silent battle is unfolding. Azaleas, those vibrant and beloved plants, are under attack. Over the past few years, about 15% of Rhododendron simsii plants in nurseries have shown signs of wilting and yellowing. The culprit? A sneaky pathogen causing crown and root ro
Tissue staining is a big deal in medical science. Doctors use it to spot diseases like cancer. But the usual way, using chemicals, takes time and money. Plus, once stained, the tissue can't be tested again. That's where new tech comes in. Scientists have been working on a smarter way. They use comp
In the world of animal health research, how tissues are handled can make a big difference. Fixation, the process of preserving tissues, can change how they look under a microscope and how well they work in molecular tests. A recent study looked at how different fixation methods affect tissue samples
