A new pathology tool created at Yale harnesses barcode technology and shows potential for use in cancer diagnoses. The technology, Patho-DBiT (pathology-compatible deterministic barcoding in tissue), was discussed in a new study that published Sept. 30 in the journal Cell. Co-corresponding author Dr. Mina Xu, a Yale Cancer Center (YCC) member, professor of pathology at Yale School of Medicine (YSM), and the YSM director of hematopathology, shared her enthusiasm for the new tool.

Cancer cells appear to hijack a genetic pathway involved in DNA repair to drive malignancy and overcome treatment, a study led by UT Southwestern Medical Center researchers shows. Their findings, published in Cell, explain how chromosomes in some tumors undergo massive rearrangements and could lead to new strategies to avoid cancer drug resistance.

Rutgers University-New Brunswick scientists have discovered a virus that caused a nationwide die-off of superworms, a common food for birds, reptiles, other pets and, more and more so, even for humans as an alternative protein source. In doing so, they pioneered a different way to search for and identify emerging viruses and pathogens in humans, plants and animals.
