In this webinar, we will examine how immune recognition after allogeneic HCT can influence leukemia relapse and disease progression. The session will highlight the clinical relevance of HLA loss of heterozygosity (LOH), approaches used for its detection, and how LOH findings may support transplant strategies, including considerations for donor selection in subsequent transplantation.

Webinar presenter Alberto Cardoso Martins Lima, PhD, Clinical consulting scientist in histocompatibility,
specializing in allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (HCT) at IGEN/AFIP São Paulo and CHC/UFPR in Curitiba, Brazil

BioMérieux acquires Day Zero Diagnostics

July 2025—BioMérieux has agreed to acquire Day Zero Diagnostics, an infectious disease diagnostics company, with the aim of enhancing BioMérieux’s capabilities in next-generation sequencing and rapid diagnostics. Day Zero Diagnostics, based in Watertown, Mass., has developed technologies that integrate direct from whole blood sample preparation, sequencing, and advanced infectious disease and antimicrobial susceptibility testing analytics. The sequencing-based rapid diagnostic in development can identify the species and antibiotic resistance profile of a bacterial pathogen within hours.

FDA clears Liaison Plex Gram-positive blood culture assay

July 2025—Diasorin has received 510(k) clearance from the FDA for its Liaison Plex Gram-positive blood culture assay. The assay detects 17 targets (13 Gram-positive bacteria and four relevant resistance gene targets) in less than two hours and features Diasorin’s proprietary NanoGrid technology, which allows the detection of nucleic acids without the need for conventional amplification reactions.

Study validates Ibex Breast solution

July 2025—Ibex Medical Analytics reports that a study conducted at Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center confirms that Ibex Breast, an AI-powered diagnostic support solution, significantly improves accuracy and efficiency in evaluating breast pathology cases (Tahir M, et al. Clin Breast Cancer. Published online March 26, 2025). The study analyzed 104 real-world breast biopsies, including invasive and microinvasive carcinomas, ductal carcinoma in situ, atypical lobular hyperplasia, and other benign lesions. Three breast pathologists independently reviewed each case digitally, with and without the support of Ibex Breast. Results demonstrated that when using AI, diagnostic accuracy improved from 97.1 percent to 100 percent, with previously missed precancerous lesions, such as lobular neoplasia and microcalcifications, correctly identified.

FDA clears Sysmex CN-6000 automated blood coag analyzer

July 2025—Sysmex America has received FDA clearance for its CN-6000 automated blood coagulation analyzer.
