Immunohistochemistry is one of the most popular topics at the annual S/C. This means you can get customized IHC training, including WS #45, The Art and Science of IHC. This three-hour, hands-on workshop is designed to ensure all participants have a concrete understanding of the total IHC process, from deparaffinization through coverslipping. Read the full abstract for this session, and see all IHC courses by visiting the Workshops page on histoconvention.org.

In a recent post on NSH’s blog, Fixation on Histology, NSH member Katelin Tellechea discusses the safety concerns she had regarding pregnancy in the lab. Unable to find answers to her questions, she began her own research project, which she hopes will help set more definitive standards for what is and isn’t safe for a pregnant histologist. Read her story!

From reduced medical laboratory test ordering to dealing with high-deductible health plans, clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups are impacted daily by rising healthcare costs. Until now, however, one demographic was not affected — affluent Americans. But that is no longer the case.

The first paper ever published on microfluidic cell culture is 19 years old. Microfluidic cell culture has now outgrown its infancy and is about to survive its teenage years. It has matured considerably but still needs to transition from academia into clinics and industry. Will it come of age?

The Ebola virus kills half the people who get it, and it’s a tragically familiar disease in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Since scientists first characterized the disease in 1976, Congo has had nine outbreaks. Now it’s happening again: To date the country has seen 46 possible or confirmed cases, and 26 people are dead. But this time is different.

Given the success of T cell–centric cancer immunotherapies, there is considerable interest in understanding exactly how tumors evade this form of therapy. Kearney et al. carried out a series of genome-wide CRISPR screens to identify mechanisms of tumor immune evasion from cytotoxic T lymphocytes and natural killer cells. They found IFN-γ signaling and antigen presentation to be critical for CTL-mediated killing of cancer cells and uncovered TNF signaling as a key effector mechanism for both CTL and NK cell antitumor activity.

A major new analysis reveals for the first time the likely cause of most cases of childhood leukaemia, following more than a century of controversy about its origins. Professor Mel Greaves from The Institute of Cancer Research, London, assessed the most comprehensive body of evidence ever collected on acute lymphoblastic leukaemia — the most common type of childhood cancer. His research concludes that the disease is caused through a two-step process of genetic mutation and exposure to infection that means it may be preventable with treatments to stimulate or "prime" the immune system in infancy.

The newest exhibit at the National Museum of Natural History is, in a word, terrifying.
Ebola, Zika, HIV and SARS are just some of the infectious diseases highlighted in “Outbreak: Epidemics in a Connected World,” where visitors confront conditions that fuel outbreaks and learn about extraordinary efforts to save lives.
From the ceiling hangs a giant mosquito, a not-so-subtle reminder of the insect that has affected the world by spreading Zika, dengue, yellow fever, chikungunya, West Nile virus and other dangerous diseases.
Other collections show ticks, fleas, bugs and stuffed bats. An alcohol-pickled duck from 1916 is known to have carried the same genetic sequence of influenza A found in those who suffered from the 1918 flu pandemic.

Scientists know that faulty proteins can cause harmful deposits or "aggregates" in neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's and Parkinson's disease. Although the causes of these protein deposits remain a mystery, it is known that abnormal aggregates can result when cells fail to transmit proper genetic information to proteins. University of California San Diego Professor Susan Ackerman and her colleagues first highlighted this cause of brain disease more than 10 years ago. Now, probing deeper into this research, she and colleagues have identified a gene, Ankrd16, that prevents the protein aggregates they originally observed.

A group from the United Kingdom has identified a link between multiple sclerosis and a toxin frequently found in ovine, more commonly referred to as sheep. The team led by Dr. Sariqa Wagley from the College of Life and Environmental Sciences at the University of Exeter found indications of the clostridium perfringens epsilon toxin associated with multiple sclerosis. It was not the first group to express concern that exposure to sheep toxins may contribute to the expression of multiple sclerosis.

Scientists have calculated how much radiation the people of Hiroshima may have been subjected to after the 1945 bombing, using tissue from one of the victims for the first time.
The study provides unsettling new insight on the effects of the nuclear fallout after the bomb was dropped; while thousands of people were killed in the initial blast, thousands more suffered at the hands of radiation sickness in the months to follow.

In addition to the commonly known A, B, AB and O blood types, hundreds of blood group antigens exist on red blood cells that differ between individuals. These particles can activate the body’s immune response, with life threatening consequences.
According to the FDA, around 16 deaths per year are associated with transfusion reactions that are not caused by variations in A, B and O blood types.

People living with autoimmune diseases just want to feel better. While most of us can trust our immune systems to identify and attack only the unwelcome invaders — like bacteria or viruses — for reasons we don’t yet fully understand, some patients’ immune systems attack healthy tissue, causing inflammation, pain and damage in various parts of the body. Over time, the effects of these attacks can be devastating.

The hotter our body temperature, the more our bodies speed up a key defence system that fights against tumours, wounds or infections, new research by a multidisciplinary team of mathematicians and biologists from the Universities of Warwick and Manchester has found. The researchers have demonstrated that small rises in temperature (such as during a fever) speed up the speed of a cellular "clock" that controls the response to infections — and this new understanding could lead to more effective and fast-working drugs which target a key protein involved in this process.
