No one knows exactly how many cell types exist in the human body. Though traditional texts place numbers in the hundreds, recent studies have found ranges from thousands to tens of thousands. Anatomic pathologists and clinical laboratory scientists know that the discovery of new types of human cells could lead to the creation of new medical laboratory tests.
So, it’s an important development that leaders of the Human Cell Atlas Consortium, a project comparable to the Human Genome Project, have set out to determine the exact numbers of cell types. And their findings could open up an entirely new field of diagnostic testing for clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology and lead to advances in precision medicine.

More than 80,000 Americans died of the flu in the winter of 2017-2018, the highest number in over a decade, federal health officials said last week.
Although 90 percent of those deaths were in people over age 65, the flu also killed 180 young children and teenagers, more than in any other year since the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began using its current surveillance methods.

Scientists plan to map the biological profiles of the entire WA population to create a “crystal ball” into their risk of diseases such as cancer, obesity and type 2 diabetes.
They will use a new area of research which analyses the human phenome — a snapshot of a person’s unique biology resulting from interactions between environmental factors and their genes.

A new screening process could dramatically accelerate the identification of nanoparticles suitable for delivering therapeutic RNA into living cells. The technique would allow researchers to screen hundreds of nanoparticles at a time, identifying the organs in which they accumulate — and verifying that they can successfully deliver an RNA cargo into living cells.

Mobile technology continues to impact clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups and is a major driver in precision medicine, as Dark Daily has reported. Most of the mobile-test development which incorporates smartphones as the testing device, however, has been for chemistry and immunoassay types of lab tests. Now, a new developer in Monmouth Junction, New Jersey, has created a Complete Blood Count test that runs on devices attached to smartphones.
Such devices enable doctors to order test panels for patients in remote locations that also may lack resources, such as electricity.

Artificial-intelligence technology that examines images of lung tissue can identify two common lung cancers just as well as pathologists do.
A team led by Narges Razavian and Aristotelis Tsirigos at the New York University School of Medicine trained and tested a convolutional neural network — a deep-learning algorithm that is adept at processing images — on 1,634 images of cancerous and healthy lung tissue. The algorithm identified healthy cases and distinguished as accurately as three pathologists between two common types of lung cancer: adenocarcinoma and squamous-cell carcinoma.

When Lindsey Sutton was five weeks old, a heel prick test revealed blood that was Pepto Bismol pink.
It was the first sign that she had inherited a rare disease known as familial chylomicronemia syndrome, or FCS. Because the disorder leads to the buildup of fat in the blood, what followed for the now-28 year-old Sutton was a lifetime on an extreme low-fat diet limited to roughly a tablespoon of olive oil a day and a string of hospitalizations from one of the disease’s most debilitating consequences, pancreatitis.

Recent advances in kidney research have yielded dramatic headlines touting scientists' ability to grow kidneys in the lab. But some experts worry that hype about tissue engineering is excessively raising patients' hopes.
In 2013, U.S. scientists announced that they had grown kidneys that could process urine in rats. The announcement was hailed as potentially paving the way for artificially creating an endless supply of organs that could be used in humans.

The venture philanthropy organization JDRF T1D Fund is investing in ImmusanT, a clinical-stage company looking to develop a vaccine to prevent type 1 diabetes following on its peptide immunotherapy program for celiac disease, the two entities announced in a press release.
ImmusanT has been successful in phase 1 studies with a peptide-based therapeutic vaccine (Nexvax2) for celiac disease. JDRF T1D’s investment was made to support ImmusanT as it attempts to convert lessons from the celiac program into a “novel vaccine candidate” for type 1 diabetes.

Scientists in Japan have developed a cell culture platform that allows cancer cells to self-organize into microtumors, effectively mimicking cancer development in the body. Their findings are published in Scientific Reports.
Current methods to study cancer cells in vitro rely on culture systems that do not replicate the process of tumor formation in the body. Hence, researchers find it difficult to accurately observe the behaviors of cancer cells, impeding pre-clinical drug discovery and testing.

A diagnosis of cancer, even an early-stage, highly curable cancer, can prompt some people to feel as if they’ve suddenly lost control of their future and that they must do whatever they can to regain it.
They may seek guidance from the internet, friends and acquaintances, some of whom may be quick to relate tales of miraculous cures from alternative remedies that claim to spare patients the challenges of established cancer treatments like surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.

Research at WSU to understand how the mechanisms of tick immune systems operate could help uncover ways to affect how ticks carry and transmit diseases, many of which affect humans.
One type of tick, Ixodes scapularis, can transmit at least seven different diseases from feeding on the blood of a host, a number that is relatively high when compared to other bugs and insects that carry disease, said Dana Shaw, microbiologist and researcher at WSU.
