We have all heard about it: the impending retirement of our baby boomer Histotechs and the increasing need for a new generation of Histotechs to fill their shoes. Many of us have already felt the frustrations of Histotech shortages. But what can we do about it? How can we, on an individual level, help? Check out NSH’s blog, Fixation on Histology’s latest post, Creating the Next Generation of Histotechs, to learn how one NSH member is making a difference.

A new DNA "spit test" for prostate cancer can identify men who have an increased risk of developing the disease.
The research published recently in Nature Genetics, funded by an international team including the world’s two biggest cancer research agencies, the National Cancer Institute and Cancer Research UK, studied the DNA of 140,000 men to look for genetic variants that predicted for the development of the disease.

Health News Review
Theranos, the fraudulent laboratory company whose rise and fall is recounted in a recent exposé titled “Bad Blood,” was a darling of investors and news outlets for a more than a decade. The company suffered a rapid change of fate in late 2015 after Wall Street Journal reporter John Carreyrou revealed the shaky underpinnings of its technology, which launched the company into a gauntlet of financial and legal jeopardy. For many of us in the pathology community, the writing was on the wall long before Carreyrou’s article was published. Had journalists consulted pathologists as expert sources, the news coverage of Theranos might have been less fawning and more skeptical. Patients might have been spared erroneous tests.

Surgical-style facial masks harbor a secret — viruses that could be infectious to the people wearing them. However, masks can become effective virus killers as well. At least that’s what researchers at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Canada, have concluded.
If true, such a re-engineered mask could protect clinical laboratory workers from exposure to infectious diseases, such as, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome, Middle East Respiratory Syndrome and Swine Influenza.

Researchers from the Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center describe the first strain of carbapenem-resistant, hypermucoviscous Klebsiella pneumoniae exhibiting colistin heteroresistance and enhanced virulence isolated from a patient in the United States.
"The problem of antibiotic resistance is becoming increasingly alarming. The combination of increased virulence and multidrug resistance makes the situation worse," said Dr. David Weiss, director of the Emory Antibiotic Resistance Center.

A new method can examine protein assembly in real time, in living cells, to find problems in the process and diagnose the resulting diseases, according to new research.
Proteins in the body need to be perfectly arranged, or folded, to do their jobs. When there is a misfolding, a number of problems and diseases — including diseases of aging and different cancers — can result.

A research team at Worcester Polytechnic Institute is engineering self-assembling human blood vessels that exhibit the symptoms of common cardiac and vascular conditions, like aneurisms and blockages, work that may provide a better way for scientists to test the effectiveness of new medications and, potentially, speed up the development of more effective treatments for life-threatening diseases.

More than 30 years ago, Bell Laboratories scientist Arthur Ashkin, Ph.D. ’52, developed a method for using tightly focused laser light to manipulate microparticles. That method, originally called “single-beam gradient force optical trap,” became known by a more descriptive moniker: “optical tweezers.” That method was the product of work Ashkin — now 95 years old and the holder of 47 patents — did more than 15 years earlier involving microwaves, nonlinear optics and laser trapping. And it’s that earlier work, involving less-focused laser light, that has inspired a new method from the lab of Steven Adie.

Clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups serving the nation’s hospitals and health systems may get increased network access to patients due to new developments in the health insurance marketplace. In recent months, both large corporate players and a number of smaller hospital systems have decided to form their own health insurance companies.

Of the many people who receive artificial hips, approximately 10 percent will require replacement surgery within 10 to 15 years. This is due to a condition called osteolysis, in which the adjacent bone deteriorates, causing the implant to loosen. Soon, however, it may be possible to determine who will develop the condition, via a urine test.

Reversing memory deficits and impairments in spatial learning is a major goal in dementia research. A lack of knowledge about cellular pathways critical to the development of dementia has prevented significant clinical advance. Researchers are breaking through that barrier. They show, for the first time in an animal model, that a drug can reverse tau pathology — the second-most important lesion in the brain in patients with Alzheimer's.

Researchers have discovered substantial differences in the abundance of bacteriophages in patients with Parkinson’s disease compared with people who do not have the neurodegenerative disorder. The findings indicate bacteriophages may be an “overlooked driver” of Parkinson’s disease and a potential therapeutic target, according to George Tetz, MD, PhD, CEO of the Human Microbiology Institute, a nonprofit, multidisciplinary microbiome-focused organization based in New York.

In a new study published recently in PLOS Genetics, Christine Ambrosone of Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center and colleagues identified a genetic difference between people with African and European ancestry that affects how the immune system triggers inflammation. They suspect these differences are rooted in how the immune system evolved and the evolutionary pressure exerted by malaria on ancestors who lived in Africa.

The types of connective tissue include cartilage, bone, collagen fibers, reticular fibers, elastic fibers, blood, hemapoetic/lymphatic, adipose tissue, bone marrow, and lymphoid tissue. Each connective tissue acts to support and hold your body together and in some instances, transmit substances around your body. The human body is full of various types of connective tissue, the function of which is to bind together the other tissue of the body and give those tissues support. Common examples of connective tissues include tendons, adipose tissue, and cartilage. To understand why connective tissue is so important, let’s take a close look at the various kinds of connective tissue, along with some examples.

The findings revealed that a special group of genes that function within the body's normal DNA repair process were vital to the effectiveness of p53. This new information could help doctors to better identify patients with an increased risk of developing certain cancers. It could also help to develop safer, more effective treatments for patients.
