Dec. 19 NSH Lab Webinar: Mechanics of IHC Paraffin Embedded Sections, presented by Patricia Lewis, HT(ASCP), Monarch Histology Services, LLC, Alachua, FL and Jonathan Cowart, PhD (C), Aquatic Animal Health Program, University of Florida. This webinar will cover determining if an antibody will be reactive based on sequence homology. Selecting the appropriate antigen retrieval solutions, antibody diluents, blocking reagents, and detection systems needed depending on the antibody and target species. In addition, this will also cover specialized techniques for melanin bleaching and multiplex staining.

Clinical laboratories and anatomic pathology groups will be entering 2019 facing not only financial upheaval from Medicare Part B fee cuts and narrowing payer networks, but also an increasingly rigorous and ever-evolving regulatory environment.
Although the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments requirements have not undergone major changes since debuting in 1992, the medical laboratory industry has become more complex and technology-laden, resulting in old rules being applied to emerging technologies.

EurekaAlert
Scientists at the University of York have developed a new technique that uses light to understand how cells communicate in human disease.
All cells in the human body communicate with each other by releasing signalling molecules; this helps to ensure that tissues function normally, that the immune system is able to respond to infection, and that cell division and survival are regulated to prevent cells mutating, such as in cancer.

USC scientists report that a novel time-keeping mechanism within liver cells that helps sustain key organ tasks can contribute to diseases when its natural rhythm is disrupted.
This dual function of the nuclear receptor protein HNF4A offers a potential explanation for diseases such as diabetes and cancers. It also helps explain why such maladies are more common for people living with disrupted sleep, including night-shift workers, urban dwellers and international jet-setters.

Clinical laboratory leaders will want to pay close attention to a significant development in Maryland. The state’s All-Payer Medicare program — the nation’s only all-payer hospital rate regulation system — is broadening in scope to include outpatient services starting Jan. 1. The expanded program could impact independent medical laboratories, according to the Maryland Hospital Association, which told Dark Daily that those labs may see hospitals reaching out to them.

Classifying diseases is much more than a label we slap onto a set of symptoms. It can also help shape the way we perceive and even treat certain conditions.
A new study has called for a new approach to classify patients with Alzheimer’s, arguing it’s not simply one disease and instead can be divided into at least six factions. By splitting up the condition into more subgroups, the researchers hope that medical professionals will be able to deliver better, more personalized treatments for people whose condition doesn't necessarily fit into a one-size-fits-all category.

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are the two main types of an autoimmune disease called Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Since the beginning of the 21st century, IBD has become a global disease with an increasing incidence in newly industrialized countries whose societies have become Westernized. Although in Europe and North America the incidence of the illness is stabilizing, the prevalence remains high as it exceeds 0.3 percent.

Vanderbilt University Medical Center is participating in an international study to determine the effectiveness of a new therapeutic vaccine for treating women with precancerous changes on the cervix. These precancerous lesions, also called dysplasia or cervical intraepithelial neoplasia, are caused by an infection of the human papillomavirus. The abnormalities are asymptomatic but can be detected by standard Pap test screening and diagnosed by a colposcopy and biopsy of the affected area. For the study, three doses will be given to participants — one on the day of enrollment, one four weeks into participation and another three months following enrollment. If effective, the vaccine will cause the CIN lesions to regress.

Manny Johnson keeps catching himself rubbing a spot on the upper right side of his chest. Starting when he was a teenager, the 21-year-old from Boston depended on a port implanted there to ease his monthly blood transfusions for sickle cell disease, a genetic disorder that caused a stroke when he was three.

Israeli firm Aleph Farms has created what it says is the first cell-grown minute steak, using its capabilities for growing different types of natural beef cells into a fully 3-D structure similar to conventional meat. The cell-cultured meat space has been heating up recently, marked by a number of innovators launching cell-culture patties and meatballs. However, with its distinctive texture and complex shape, the steak remained an elusive target for innovation.

At just two-and-a-half years old, the University of Wisconsin–Madison Human Stem Cell Gene Editing Service is already contemplating expansion. The increased demand has tracked the growth of research projects on campus using a new gene editing tool called CRISPR-Cas9.
The service derives and genetically engineers pluripotent stem cell lines for stem cell researchers at UW–Madison. It operates in conjunction with the iPS (induced pluripotent stem cell) Core at the Waisman Center, and together, both campus resources are called the UW–Madison iPSC Reprogramming and Human Stem Cell Gene Editing Service.

Influenza infection poses special challenges for solid-organ transplant recipients, as "the flu" increases their risk for bacterial pneumonia, admission to intensive care, and death. Furthermore, research suggests influenza infection can even increase the risk for allograft rejection and poorer allograft survival. Providing an annual vaccination that contains 15 micrograms of antigen per viral strain is an effective preventative strategy in solid-organ transplant recipients. Now, the results of a new study show that high-dose vaccines possessing 60 micrograms antigen per influenza strain enhance vaccine immunogenicity in this population.
