A new study has made a concerning discovery in one of Bangladesh's favorite fish. Researchers found that hilsa — a staple in kitchens across the country — is contaminated with not only toxic heavy ...

BEAUFORT, N.C. – Microscopic plastic particles have been found in the fats and lungs of two-thirds of the marine mammals in a graduate student’s study of ocean microplastics. The presence of polymer ...

Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has transformed genomic research and clinical diagnostics by enabling rapid, high-throughput analysis of genetic material. The application of NGS to formalin-fixed ...

Precise, tailored cancer diagnosis and treatment, known as precision oncology, is gaining steam. But most methods able to look deeply at the molecular characteristics of a patient’s tumor rely on ...

A prospective, non-interventional study among patients diagnosed with locally advanced or metastatic non–small-cell lung cancer to assess the adherence to oral antineoplastic therapy from data ...

Tissue microarrays combines tens to hundreds of paraffin-embedded tissue cores into a single paraffin block. It is a practical and highly effective technique for high-throughput analyses of various ...

Researchers have developed a method for mapping the orientation and organization of tissue fibers, furthering our ...

The two main fixation formats used by researchers are formalin fixation followed by paraffin embedding (FFPE) or snap-frozen in liquid nitrogen (referred to as Fresh Frozen or FF). There is less of a ...
