Despite advancements in precision medicine, many cancer patients globally, particularly those in resource-constrained environments, face significant challenges in accessing high-quality molecular testing and targeted therapies. The considerable heterogeneity in molecular testing highlights the urgent need to harmonize practices across Europe and beyond, establishing a more standardized and consistent approach in MP laboratories. Professionals, especially molecular pathologists, must move beyond traditional education to cope with this heterogeneity.

In the late 19th century, formalin fixation with paraffin-embedding (FFPE) of tissues was developed as a fixation and conservation method and is still used to this day in routine clinical and pathological practice. The implementation of state-of-the-art nucleic acid sequencing technologies has sparked much interest for using historical FFPE samples stored in biobanks as they hold promise in extracting new information from these valuable samples. However, formalin fixation chemically modifies DNA, which potentially leads to incorrect sequences or misinterpretations in downstream processing and data analysis.

As a social species, ready exchange with peers is a pivotal asset - our "social capital". Yet, single-person households have come to pervade metropolitan cities worldwide, with unknown consequences in the long run. Here, we systematically explore the morphological manifestations associated with singular living in ∼40,000 UK Biobank participants.

Precision medicine requires a deep understanding of complex biomedical and healthcare data, which is being generated at exponential rates and increasingly made available through public biobanks, electronic medical record systems and biomedical databases and knowledgebases. The complexity and sheer amount of data prohibit manual manipulation. Instead, the field depends on artificial intelligence approaches to parse, annotate, evaluate and interpret the data to enable applications to patient healthcare At the 2023 Pacific Symposium on Biocomputing (PSB) session entitled "Precision Medicine: Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) to improve diagnostics and healthcare", we spotlight research that develops and applies computational methodologies to solve biomedical problems.
