Process Models in Practice: Turning Instrument Data Into Uptime, Turnaround, and Throughput
How lab leaders can use instrument log data and process models to catch drift early, cut downtime, and make better operational decisions
Common blood pressure drug boosts brown adipose tissue activity and metabolism
Scientists have discovered that the drug losartan, commonly prescribed for high blood pressure, boosts brown adipose tissue activity in mice, enhancing their metabolism.
The Next-Generation of Companion Diagnostics Will Include AI-Driven Algorithms
The latest diagnostic workflow solutions powering the future of AI-assisted pathology
Award-winning microscopy image disqualified over AI use
The winning entry of the prestigious Small World in Motion microscopy competition has been disqualified after scientists raised concerns about its creation using artificial intelligence.
Deep learning model using ECGs during sleep studies can predict cardiovascular outcomes
Integrating ECGs into sleep disorder screening could enhance detection and guide clinical decision-making.
Human lung organoids with a built-in immune system could transform respiratory disease research
In NIH-funded study, the models orchestrated adaptive immune responses to viral infection.
The Question Changing How Labs Choose Technology
As some equipment and service providers move toward more consultative models, lab leaders have another question to consider: Does the proposed technology actually solve the problem at hand?
Biomechanical strain keeps heart valves strong for decades
Collagen plays a critical role in keeping heart valves strong, but the heart is surrounded by enzymes designed to break down collagen.
Coral can heal rapidly from bleaching—if it touches a clone
When coral bleaches during a heat wave and ejects its symbiotic algae, it usually means either a death sentence or a slow recovery over months or years. But scientists working separately at two labs an ocean apart have found a faster acting shortcut, one that has scientists hoping it could eventually help coral recover from bleaching and endure future heat waves.
The ABCs of LDTs: An interview with Hunter Best, PhD, FACMG
CLN spoke to Hunter Best, PhD, FACMG, about how to decide which laboratory developed tests to create, the importance of having a range of patient samples for validation, and how bioinformatics is pushing the field forward.
