Diagnostics World | There is a lack of reliable predictive methods that can determine how a patient will respond to certain immunotherapies and understanding how immune cells communicate with each other may be the key to understanding the differences. A team of researchers have created a new technology called Interact-omics that can “listen in” on this immune cell dialogue.

Diagnostics World | A clinical case study from Qure.ai and Hacettepe University, Turkey, delivered at the IASLC World Conference on Lung Cancer 2025 in Barcelona, shows that Artificial Intelligence (AI) can detect potentially malignant pulmonary nodules on routine chest X-rays, even when the imaging was ordered for unrelated, non-respiratory conditions.

Diagnostics World | In a lively matchup between clinical microbiology experts at the recent Next-Generation Dx Summit, onlookers already predisposed to believing artificial intelligence (AI) would not be replacing conventional microbiology and infectious disease testing in the next 10 years were further swayed toward dismissing the possibility. It perhaps helped that the deciding vote on the debate came immediately after the person arguing mightily about the inevitability of an AI takeover himself switched from the affirmative to the negative position.

Diagnostics World | An assortment of “hot-button issues” in point-of-care testing (POCT) remain to be sorted out amid rising patient demand for access to rapid and reliable tests results, mounting financial pressures on healthcare systems, and ongoing concerns about the setting and timing of testing to reap the most clinical benefits. Having actionable results, improving connections to care, and balancing patient anonymity with public health reporting in sexually transmitted infection (STI) testing are among the current topics of dialogue, as highlighted during the Next-Generation Dx Summit held last month.

Diagnostics World | When it comes to disease diagnostics, every missed genetic variant represents a delay in diagnosis—and often in treatment. Researchers at Pacific Biosciences (PacBio) developed a new genomic benchmark that could help close those diagnostic gaps, offering more accurate detection of genetic variants.
