LeLISA: A New Lectin-Based Immunoassay for Evaluation of Mucinous and Serous Content in Pancreatic Cystic Neoplasms

Researchers developed a new laboratory test called LeLISA that uses special proteins called lectins to distinguish between different types of pancreatic cysts. By testing cyst fluid samples against eight different lectins, they found that dangerous mucinous cysts showed strong binding patterns while safer serous cysts showed much weaker signals. This test could help doctors identify which pancreatic cysts need surgery and which ones are safe to monitor over time.

Fungal infection monitoring on corneal epithelium ex vivo model and its collection over polyethersulfone membrane for detecting Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus

This research develops a new, faster way to diagnose fungal eye infections caused by Candida or Aspergillus fungi. Instead of waiting days for traditional culture tests, doctors can now use specially designed membranes to collect fungal material from the eye surface and identify the infection within hours using a simple fluorescent staining technique. This faster diagnosis allows doctors to choose the most effective treatment immediately, potentially improving vision outcomes for patients with fungal eye infections.
