Blood biomarkers show risk for preeclampsia in pregnant women
The proof-of-concept study looked at the levels and ratio of the proteins FK506-binding protein like (FKBPL) and cluster of differentiation 44 (CD44) in plasma of pregnant women and matched normal controls at the Royal Jubilee Maternity Hospital in Belfast, U.K., and how they associated with risk for preeclampsia.

CAP survey: Labs are high on coronavirus test capacity, but still short of supplies
Shortages of COVID-19 tests themselves and supplies for testing have been big problems during the public health emergency. Officials in the White House Coronavirus Task Force have said that they would ensure labs had the products they needed amid disruptions in the supply chain.Image courtesy of CAP.Image courtesy of CAP.2021 Cuts to Medicare Pay: What #Pathologists Need to Know.

The case for a national COVID-19 testing strategy: A Q&A with Dr. Gary Procop
The initial failure of the diagnostic test developed by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and distributed to public labs was among the biggest problems with national management of the public health emergency to date. After policies by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) were loosened to allow labs to conduct their own tests and companies to introduce products with slight or no review, problems with supply shortages and quality of antibody tests quickly surfaced.

Machine learning could 'transform' cervical cancer screening, NCI researchers report
The NCI researchers described positive experiences with Cytoreader, an automated system for evaluating digital dual-stained whole-slide images for the protein biomarkers p16 and Ki-67, using data from three epidemiology studies of patients with cervical and anal cancers who were positive for human papillomavirus (HPV). The automated system assesses the number of dual-stained positive cells and flags the ones that exceed predefined cutoff points.

AI-driven DNA methylation liquid biopsy shows promise in brain and kidney cancer
The method -- called cell-free methylated DNA immunoprecipitation and high-throughput sequencing (cfMeDIP-seq) -- has been developed for blood and other kinds of liquid specimens. Testing screens for abnormal methylation, whereas liquid biopsy tests typically look for mutations, the researchers explained.

Broad genetic testing spots inherited mutations in young cancer patients
The study evaluated broad-panel genetic blood testing in 1,201 patients between the ages of 18 and 39 who had undergone next-generation sequencing and were treated at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Research Center. Of the total, 877 had early-onset cancer -- that is, they had tumor types that would normally occur later in life, such as in the breast and colon.
