Pathology is the study and diagnosis of disease
through examination of organs, tissues, bodily fluids, and whole bodies
(autopsies). The term also encompasses the related scientific study of
disease processes, called General pathology. Medical pathology is
divided in two main branches, Anatomical pathology and Clinical
pathology. Veterinary pathology is concerned with animal disease whereas
Phytopathology is the study of plant diseases.

Targeted fluorescence successfully identifies pulmonary metastases in osteosarcoma patient
In a
proof-of-principle case report, researchers announce that targeted

with osteosarcoma, making it easier for surgeons to locate the tumors
for resection.
Adrenomedullin could serve as biomarker, therapeutic target in disorders caused by leaky blood vessels
Disorders caused by a
leaky vasculature are more common than most people think. Despite ICU

congestive heart failure die every year from their condition.
Newly identified germline variations increase risk of relapse or second cancers in leukemia patients
Newly identified
germline variations in a key tumor suppressor gene predispose
individuals to develop leukemia as children and leave them with a 1-in-4
chance of developing a second cancer later. St. Jude Children's
Research Hospital scientists led the study, which appears today in the
Journal of Clinical Oncology.
Study provides insight into how early-stage breast cancer progresses to invasive ductal carcinoma

Findings provide better understanding of thyroid hormones' role in mammalian seasonal changes
Researchers now have a
better understanding of the role that thyroid hormones, the tissues
that produce them, and the biochemical pathways on which they act have
in driving seasonal reproduction in some mammals, and how this new
information may help explain seasonal changes in metabolism and mood
that affect humans.
Ludwig study elucidates mechanism behind metabolic vulnerability of some breast tumors
Scientists have known
since the 1980s that many cancer cells are relatively sensitive to the
deprivation of an essential amino acid known as methionine. It has,
however, long been unclear what causes such marked dependency on
methionine.
New findings may lead to sensitive, non-invasive test for Alzheimer's disease
New research has
drawn a link between changes in the brain's anatomy and biomarkers that
are known to appear at the earliest stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD),
findings that could one day provide a sensitive but non-invasive test
for AD before cognitive symptoms appear.
Study links mild obsessive-compulsive symptoms to alterations of cerebral anatomy in healthy children
A new study carried
out by the Bellvitge Biomedical Research Institute and the Institute of
Global Health of Barcelona, a centre supported by "la Caixa" Foundation,
associates for the first time mild obsessive-compulsive symptoms, which
are present in a much higher percentage of cases than those that
require specialized medical and psychological attention, to
characteristics and specific alterations of the cerebral anatomy.

‘Sushi-like’ nanodiscs provide structural snapshots of misfolding proteins
When proteins

proteins when they are most toxic, detailing them down to the atomic
level.
