Another impressive paper by Dr. Sara Cherry in @MolecularCell reveals a mechanism that allows cells to fine-tune their antiviral defenses and develop an “immune memory.”

NEW EPISODE of PRECISION PATHOLOGY PODCAST
Can Spatial Immune Profiling Improve Oncotype Dx Guidance of Chemotherapy in Breast Cancer?
My guest, @zak_kinsella PhD, from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland, with his team of co-authors, observed an association between higher stromal tumor-infiltrating CD8+ lymphocyte (sTIL CD8+) density and poor outcome.
The study suggests sTIL CD8+ density as a candidate biomarker for treatment decisions.

Meet our #PathVisions26 Plenary Speaker: Dr. Rajendra Singh!
We’re excited to welcome Dr. Rajendra Singh as this year’s plenary speaker. A recognized leader in digital pathology and founder of PathPresenter, Dr. Singh has helped transform pathology education and collaboration on a global scale, connecting more than 75,000 users across 180 countries. His work continues to shape how digital pathology and AI are implemented to improve patient care.
In his presentation, "Invisible Intelligence: Elevating Patient Care Through AI in Pathology," Dr. Singh will explore how artificial intelligence is becoming a seamless part of everyday pathology—supporting, rather than replacing, the pathologist. Through real-world diagnostic scenarios, attendees will see how AI can enhance each stage of the workflow, from case prioritization and quality control to image analysis, reporting and patient safety. See more: bit.ly/4zaPgnk
Early Bird Registration is available through August 14. Secure your spot today and be part of the conversations shaping the next generation of patient care.
