Development of a uniform algorithmic approach to indeterminate thyroid FNAs is important in providing the most appropriate risk stratification and care to patients with thyroid nodules. Although further clinical studies will help refine guidelines for molecular testing of thyroid samples, the currently recommended panel, highlighted in this article, has shown good sensitivity and excellent specificity […]

The Human Protein Atlas Project is carrying out the systematic exploration of the human proteome using antibody-based proteomics, thus providing an invaluable publicly available HPA portal tool for pathology-based biomedical research. As part of the project, the Uppsala-based Science for Life Laboratory tissue profiling group has so far cut more than 200,000 slides from over […]
Newly revised guidelines for the diagnosis of coeliac disease (CD) place greater emphasis on laboratory testing, enabling the number of small-intestinal biopsies performed to be significantly reduced. The detection of antibodies against tissue transglutaminase (anti-tTG) or endomysium (EmA) remains a cornerstone of diagnosis, while further diagnostic procedures have gained new significance. The molecular genetic determination […]
The challenge of providing an effective allergy testing service in the face of the increased prevalence of the condition and a limited number of local allergists is being met by a centralised and specialised South African lab with the help of state-of-the-art equipment and facilities. by Dr Cathy van Rooyen Allergy is on the increase, […]
Opened in 2011, the Institute of Molecular Biology gGmbH (IMB) at Johannes Gutenberg University, Mainz, Germany is housed in a brand new building with state-of-the-art scientific facilities. The architect suggested that ultra-low temperature freezers housed in the Institute’s Core Facilities should be capable of being linked to a central water-cooling system, an integral part of […]
