Pathology: The study of disease. Pathology has been defined as "that branch of medicine which treats of the essential nature of disease. As a field of general inquiry and research, pathology addresses four components of disease: cause, mechanisms of development (pathogenesis), structural alterations of cells (morphologic changes), and the consequences of changes (clinical manifestations). A pathological condition is one caused by disease, rather than occurring physiologically.
Advances in sequencing technology and increasing recognition of the importance of our microbial world have led to unprecedented discoveries in recent years with respect to the human microbiom...
The human race, like all macrobiological life, evolved in a sea of microbes. There was no way to keep the bacterial and archaeal hoards at bay, so instead life evolved mechanisms to live with...
This presentation will discuss fundamental physical, chemical, and biological concepts important to understanding control of detrimental biofilms. Four phenomena that are important in the act...
Managing microbial contaminants is critical during the manufacturing of biologics, food and beverage to ensure that products meet the high quality product standard as well as staying complian...
Human microbiome projects have delivered our first glimpse into the microbial communities that reside in and on our bodies. Building on these efforts the research community has begun to corre...
Among many surprising insights, the genomic revolution has helped us to realize that we're never alone and, in fact, barely human. For most of our lives, we share our bodies with some ten ti...
In the case of Breast Cancer, the patient's cancer is usually detected by a mammogram or palpitation of an experienced Physician. However, these first indications that something is wrong must...
Matching the mutational profile of a patient's tumor with appropriate targeted agents is a goal of personalized medicine in oncology. The number of FDA-approved targeted therapies, as well as...
When a patient presents with acute bloody diarrhea and tests negative for common causes such as campylobacter and salmonella, what's missing? Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) is increasin...
Centrifugal elutriation is a mature technology that has been used for purification of cell subsets such as monocytes based upon cell density and size, without the need for labeling. The techn...
