You have probably seen the emails and ads for our upcoming Advanced Mohs Tech Training, June 8-9 in Springfield, New Jersey. You may be interested, but wondering what this training is really all about? To get the answers we asked Barbara Beck, of Beck Consulting and Associates and co-host for this event, to tell us a little bit more about the training. Check out this short Q/A to get a better idea of what to expect!

Diseases like cancer and heart disease don't develop overnight, and scientists understand little about someone's progress from health to disease. But a new study aims to shed light on the age-old mystery.
Verily Life Sciences, which shares a parent company with Google, is launching a long-term study of 10,000 Americans, tracking their blood, saliva, tears, genes, microbes and physical environment, as well as monitoring their sleep and movements.

Pathologists are discovering that molecular autopsy, also called postmortem molecular testing, could boost the chance of discovering the likely or plausible cause of sudden unexpected death, according to preliminary results from a study published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Researchers led by Ali Torkamani, Ph.D., Director of Genome Informatics at the Scripps Translational Science Institute and Assistant Professor of Molecular and Experimental Medicine at the Scripps Research Institute, sequenced samples from 25 sudden death cases.

A new study by Yusheng Feng, professor of mechanical engineering at The University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA), describes an algorithm that can predict the growth of cancerous tumors, which could help medical professionals judge the best treatment options for patients.
Feng first began researching cancer in 2002, predicting the outcomes of cancer treatments that utilize laser technology.

Scientists have discovered a brand new way of attacking breast cancer that could lead to a new generation of drugs.
Researchers have revealed a new driver for the growth and spread of breast cancer cells and have designed a novel type of drug to block it.
The next step will be to select the most effective drug from this new class of inhibitors and take it into clinical trials of patients.

The 2014-2015 Ebola epidemic affected several countries in West Africa, leading to the death of more than 11,000 people. Although this epidemic of Ebolavirus disease is over, there is no knowing if, when or where another may strike. It is therefore more important than ever to find a reliable vaccine against this deadly disease. Research on vaccines, which was ongoing during the epidemic in West Africa, is now yielding promising results.

The U.S. Department of Agriculture's National Institute of Food and Agriculture announced $21.8 million in available funding to combat and manage citrus greening disease, also known as Huanglongbing, which has reached epidemic proportions in the United States. The funding is made possible through NIFA's Specialty Crop Research Initiative Citrus Disease Research and Extension Program, authorized by the 2014 Farm Bill.

Parkinson's disease was first identified 200 years ago, but so far, there is no cure. Most people have the disease for many years before it's diagnosed, making it too late for effective treatment. So scientists are focusing on research in an effort to stop the disease before symptoms appear. VOA's Deborah Block has more during Parkinson's awareness month in the United States.

Studies reveal that a sizeable proportion of 911 medical emergency calls result in an ambulance ride and emergency room visit for a medical condition that is relatively simple and not truly urgent. Recognizing this fact, some innovative health systems are creating a mobile "emergency room" service that can go to the patient's home, provide appropriate care, and save the time and costs of the ambulance transport and emergency room visit.
This care model is being called "community paramedicine." Pathologists and clinical laboratory managers should see this as a new example of how the traditional provision of healthcare services is being rethought.

It loses its pigments, its motor skills and mental faculties decline, it gets cancer — the turquoise killifish (Nothobranchius furzeri) struggles with the same signs of old age that affect many other living creatures. Researchers at the Max Planck Institute for Biology of Ageing in Cologne have studied the effect of intestinal microbiota on ageing and lifespan. Their results show that older animals remain active for longer and live longer if they receive the intestinal bacteria of younger members of the species. The results suggest that microorganisms in the gut affect the ageing of an organism.

Remember a year ago when your friends were pouring buckets of ice cold water over the heads in the name of science? In total, a whopping $220 million was raised from the challenge to help from 12,000 to 15,000 people in United States who reportedly live with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.
But did you know that sickle cell anemia is the single most common life-threatening genetic disease in the United States? I sure didn't.
Over 100,000 Americans suffer from sickle cell disease and it is a torturous, painful life to live. Yet, the funding and publicity of sickle cell disease lags drastically far behind that of virtually every other genetic illness.

The dawn of the Animal Kingdom began with a collagen scaffold that enabled the organization of cells into tissues.
This key innovation, which made possible the rich diversity of life on earth, is found in the most ancient of currently living animals — the ctenophore, Vanderbilt University Medical Center scientists report in the online journal eLife. Ctenophores, commonly called comb jellies, are marine invertebrates known for their translucent, globe-like bodies that refract light into dazzling rainbow-like colors.
They have one thing in common with all animals — rope-like collagen IV molecules that assemble into scaffolds outside of the cell.
