Successful adaption of a forensic toxicological screening workflow employing nontargeted liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry to water analysis
Forensic toxicology and environmental water analysis share the common interest and responsibility in ensuring comprehensive and reliable confirmation of drugs and pharmaceutical compounds in samples analyzed. Dealing with similar analytes, detection and identification techniques should be exchangeable between scientific disciplines. Herein, we demonstrate the successful adaption of a forensic toxicological screening workflow employing nontargeted LC/MS/MS under data‐dependent acquisition control and subsequent database search to water analysis. The main modification involved processing of an increased sample volume with ...

Hologic to retain CEO MacMillan | Personnel Moves – November 3, 2017
Hologic (NSDQ:HOLX) said this week its current prez and CEO Stephen MacMillan will stay on with the company, resolving rumors that he may depart it to take up the corner office at Zimmer Biomet (NYSE:ZBH). In an SEC filing, the Marlborough, Mass.-based company’s board said it approved a special “performance-based retention equity grant” to MacMillan after he had begun to receive interest from other medical device firms. “Mr. MacMillan has led a dramatic turnaround of Hologic since joining in December 2013. The company’s performance has increased significantly under his leadership and he perso...

Making Sense of the Health Care Merger Scene    
By JEFF GOLDSMITH In the past 12 months, there has been a raft of multi-billion-dollar mergers in health care. What do these deals tell us about the emerging health care landscape, and what will they mean for patients/consumers and the incumbent actors in the health system? Health Systems There have been a few large health system mergers in the past year, notably the $11 billion multi-market combinations of Aurora Health Care and Advocate Health Care Network in Milwaukee and suburban Chicago, as well as the proposed (but not yet consummated) $28 billion merger of Catholic Health Initiatives and Dignity Health. However, the...

Tech Giants in Healthcare: New E-Book with a COVID-19 Special Edition
Considering that the healthcare industry is expected to exceed  $11 trillion by 2022, it might not come as a surprise that big tech companies like Google, Apple, Facebook or even Uber want a share of this cake. Even if their business is flourishing elsewhere, these companies stand more to gain than green bills. More importantly, investing in healthcare is an adequate way to build user trust. Our latest e-book analyzing those endeavours and more is available here. Tech Giants in Healthcare This comprehensive guide, Tech Giants in Healthcare, clarifies how and wh...

Google ’ s Masterplan for Healthcare
With 7% of Google searches – or 70,000 per minute – being health-related, it was only a matter of time before the search giant aimed to be a healthcare giant. Google hasn’t been particularly shy at expressing these ambitions either. It purchased Fitbit for $2.1 billion and had a dedicated healthcare offshoot from its A.I. branch, Deepmind. In this new article series exploring the latest moves by tech giants into healthcare, we will look at recent developments coming from Google. Previous entries looked at the moves of Google’s competitors Amazon and Apple, and provided insights into the trends that those companies ...

The EMT Phenotype Confers Resistance to CTLs
In this study, we investigated the functional consequences of this mode of epithelial cell plasticity on targeted cell lysis by cytotoxic T lymphocytes (CTL). Acquisition of the EMT phenotype in various derivatives of MCF-7 human breast cancer cells was associated with dramatic morphologic changes and actin cytoskeleton remodeling, with CD24−/CD44+/ALDH+ stem cell populations present exhibiting a higher degree of EMT relative to parental cells. Strikingly, acquisition of this phenotype also associated with an inhibition of CTL-mediated tumor cell lysis. Resistant cells exhibited attenuation in the formation of an immunol...

Rab14 Regulates Maturation of Macrophage Phagosomes Containing the Fungal Pathogen Candida albicans and Outcome of the Host-Pathogen Interaction Cellular Microbiology: Pathogen-Host Cell Molecular Interactions
Avoidance of innate immune defense is an important mechanism contributing to the pathogenicity of microorganisms. The fungal pathogen Candida albicans undergoes morphogenetic switching from the yeast to the filamentous hyphal form following phagocytosis by macrophages, facilitating its escape from the phagosome, which can result in host cell lysis. We show that the intracellular host trafficking GTPase Rab14 plays an important role in protecting macrophages from lysis mediated by C. albicans hyphae. Live-cell imaging of macrophages expressing green fluorescent protein (GFP)-tagged Rab14 or dominant negative Rab14, or with ...

DUSP4-mediated accelerated T-cell senescence in idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia
Idiopathic CD4 lymphopenia (ICL) is a rare heterogeneous immunological syndrome of unclear etiology. ICL predisposes patients to severe opportunistic infections and frequently leads to poor vaccination effectiveness. Chronic immune activation, expansion of memory T cells, and impaired T-cell receptor (TCR) signaling have been reported in ICL, but the mechanistic and causative links remain unclear. We show that late-differentiated T cells in 20 patients with ICL displayed defective TCR responses and aging markers similar to those found in T cells from elderly subjects. Intrinsic T-cell defects were caused by increased expre...
