Most anatomic pathologists recognize that the unstructured data that makes up most pathology reports also represents a barrier to more sophisticated use of the information in those pathology reports. One solution is for pathology groups to adopt synoptic reporting as a way to get a pathology report’s essential data into structured fields.

Scientists have discovered a previously unknown species of Ebola virus, called Bombali virus, that's carried by at least two species of bats in Sierra Leone. This is the first Ebola virus species detected in an animal before having been detected in humans.
Although researchers believe the virus is capable of infecting humans, it's unclear if it would cause disease.

Researchers from the Medical Research Council Centre for Regenerative Medicine at the University of Edinburgh have found that stem cells transformed into 3-D human liver tissue can support liver function when they are implanted into mice suffering from a liver disease.
To create the new tissues, the researchers stimulated human embryonic stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells to develop the characteristics of liver cells called hepatocytes. The cells were grown as small spheres in a dish for over a year.

How do you sneak past a barrier? Perhaps you hitch a ride with someone who’s allowed across. That’s one strategy scientists are considering to deliver biological therapeutics for nervous disorders such as ALS across the endothelial cells tightly lining the blood-brain barrier. Exosomes, extracellular vesicles just 30-150 nanometers across, are increasingly recognized as an important player in the CNS, where they mediate communication between neurons and glia.

Neutrophils — short-lived, highly mobile and versatile — outnumber all other immune cells circulating through the blood stream. Yet, despite the cells' abundance, the progenitor cell that only gives rise to neutrophils had eluded all efforts to track it down. Now, researchers at La Jolla Institute for Allergy and Immunology identified a progenitor of neutrophils in the bone marrow of mice and humans and tied it to cancer-promoting activities.

Neurodegeneration in a disease called mucopolysaccharidoses IIIB results from the abnormal accumulation of essential cellular molecules called mucopolysaccharides. In his lab at Baylor College of Medicine, Dr. Marco Sardiello and his colleagues have been looking to find alternative therapeutic strategies for this rare genetic disease. They recently discovered that a simple sugar, trehalose, might just be a part of it.

Researchers from the University of Zurich can, for the first time, precisely characterize the protein modification ADP-ribosylation for all proteins in a tissue sample. The changes, which are a typical reaction to stress, provide information about the condition of a cell. Together with the University Hospital Zurich, they are now testing the new method to diagnose and treat cancer.

Since sporadic neurodegenerative diseases have unknown and potentially multiple etiologies, cells derived from a single patient may not be the best option for screening drugs to treat all. Enter case clustering. As reported in the August 20 Nature Medicine, researchers led by Hideyuki Okano at Keio University School of Medicine in Tokyo have characterized the common patterns of degeneration in motor neurons from dozens of people with sporadic ALS. They then used these properties to find compounds that would stave off neurodegeneration. The dopamine receptor agonist ropinirole emerged as the top hit. It protected motor neurons derived from both sporadic and familial ALS patients.

As the cost of genome sequencing decreases, researchers and clinicians are debating whether all newborns should be sequenced at birth, facilitating a lifetime of personalized medical care. But while sequencing the genomes of some infants may be appropriate in specific contexts, genome-wide sequencing of all newborns should not be pursued at this time, and health professionals should recommend against parents using direct-to-consumer genetic sequencing to diagnose or screen their newborns, states the lead article in The Ethics of Sequencing Newborns: Recommendations and Reflections, a new special report of the Hastings Center Report.

Autopsy without proper safety precautions is scary. With proper safety precautions, it is not. A British study between 1970 and 1989 established that the highest rate of laboratory-acquired infections was in autopsy workers. Pathologists and their assistants have died of autopsy transmitted Ebola, Marburg, and Lassa hemorrhagic fevers. In a Scottish study, 50 percent of autopsied active tuberculosis cases were unrecognized prior to autopsy.

Most people infected with Zika never show symptoms. But the virus sometimes causes severe disability — from microcephaly in babies to weakness or partial paralysis in adults — and there is no treatment. In a recent study in the journal Molecular & Cellular Proteomics, researchers report a comprehensive study of how the virus interacts with host cells. One of their findings offers insight into how Zika escapes immune signaling and proliferates inside the body.

All growth and reproduction relies on a cell’s ability to replicate its chromosomes and produce accurate copies of itself. Every step of this process takes place within that cell.
Based on this observation, scientists have studied the replication and segregation of chromosomes as a phenomenon exclusively internal to the cell. They traditionally rely on warm nutritional cultures that promote growth but bear little resemblance to the cell’s external surroundings while in its natural environment.

One of the most intriguing questions about the human brain is also one of the most difficult for neuroscientists to answer: What sets our brains apart from those of other animals?
"We really don't understand what makes the human brain special," Ed Lein, Investigator at the Allen Institute for Brain Science, said. "Studying the differences at the level of cells and circuits is a good place to start, and now we have new tools to do just that."

Researchers at Cleveland Clinic, University of Oxford and University of Erlangen have identified a novel imaging biomarker, which has been found to be able to predict all-cause and cardiac mortality by measuring inflammation of fatty tissue surrounding the coronary arteries.
Coronary artery inflammation inhibits fatty tissue formation surrounding the blood vessels, known as perivascular fat. Researchers developed the perivascular fat attenuation index as an imaging biomarker to quantify inflammation-induced changes in perivascular fat.

Although the success or failure of radiation therapy for cancer has long been associated with the intrinsic radio-resistance or radio-sensitivity of tumor cells, a new approach is demonstrating that radiation can take credit for an additional benefit — causing highly effective secondary immune responses that can enhance anti-tumor immunity.
