Mortuary Management using Matrix tracker case study
The Ashford and St Peter's NHS Trust in the UK has chosen Matrix Tracker to manage and track the transition of bodies through the hospital mortuary. Organisation Ashford and St. Peter's Hospitals NHS Trust was formed in April 1998 and manages two sites; Ashford Hospital in Middlesex and St. Peter's Hospital in Chertsey, Surrey. The mortuary at Ashford and St Peters Hospital (ASPH) is an ...

High-Spatial-Resolution Multi-Omics Sequencing via Deterministic Barcoding in Tissue
Highlights Deterministic barcoding in tissue enables NGS-based spatial multi-omics mapping DBiT-seq identified spatial patterning of major tissue types in mouse embryos Revealed retinal pigmented epithelium and microvascular endothelium at cellular level Direct integration with scRNA-seq data allows for rapid cell type identification Summary We present ...

Vaccine-induced antibodies target sequestered viral antigens to prevent ocular HSV-1 pathogenesis, preserve vision, and preempt productive neuronal infection
The cornea is essential for vision yet highly sensitive to immune-mediated damage following infection. Generating vaccines that provide sterile immunity against ocular surface pathogens without evoking vision loss is therefore clinically challenging. Here, we tested a prophylactic live-attenuated vaccine against herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1), a widespread human pathogen that can cause ...

Tips & Tricks to Optimize Your Tissue Processing
Since the 19th century, the practice of tissue processing has remained largely unchanged, resulting in solidified, paraffin-embedded tissue blocks for sectioning. As staining procedures have advanced and immunohistochemistry is becoming more widely used, high-quality tissue sections are paramount for accurate interpretation of disease ...

Used in large-scale ventilation systems worldwide, bipolar ionization could be a secret weapon in the war against COVID-19
Companies are scrambling to test bipolar ion systems against the coronavirus. Bipolar ionization technology releases charged atoms that attach to and deactivate harmful substances like bacteria, mold, allergens, and viruses. It first arrived in the US in the 1970s as a tool to control pathogens in food manufacturing. Bipolar ionization has already proven effective against SARS, ...

Adaptive MRD Chief Commercial Officer Nitin Sood Shares How His Personal Journey Has Shaped His Career Path
Here at Adaptive, putting the patient first is a core value—a philosophy that deeply resonates with me. Similar to many of my fellow Adapters, my inspiration is personal and I’m excited by the tremendous potential impact we can have on human lives through the work we’re doing in our Immune Medicine and MRD businesses. Growing up in New Delhi, India, my father worked for a ...

RNA Sequencing Increases the Chance of RNA Biomarker Discovery
Biomarkers are defined as measurable biological characteristics that are associated with normal or pathological conditions. They possess clinical relevance, including diagnostic, prognostic, and predictive values. RNA, not only an essential part of the central dogma, is certainly a relatively untapped resource for biomarker discovery of various diseases. Cumulating data shows that RNA ...

The Power of Digital Pathology: Why Labs Everywhere Should Make the Switch
Pathology as it is practiced today in labs around the world is not all that different from the pathology of the 19th century. The microscope has changed relatively little since then, and Hematoxylin and Eosin (H&E) stained slides remain the bread and butter of the pathologist. Yet it is not for lack of technological development; in recent years, digital pathology whole slide scanners, digital ...

Spatial profiling of chromatin accessibility in mouse and human tissues
Abstract Cellular function in tissue is dependent on the local environment, requiring new methods for spatial mapping of biomolecules and cells in the tissue context1. The emergence of spatial transcriptomics has enabled genome-scale gene expression mapping2,3,4,5, but the ability to capture spatial epigenetic information of tissue at the cellular level and genome scale is lacking. Here we ...

LimFlow Percutaneous Deep Venous Arterialization
What interested you in LimFlow, and how did you get involved in the PROMISE I trial? Dr. Clair: Practicing vascular surgery, where a number of patients are evaluated for chronic limb-threatening ischemia (CLTI), you are guaranteed to have patients who are not candidates for percutaneous or surgical revascularization. These patients often have arterial systems open or identifiable to the ankle, ...
