Hematoxylin, fancy name for a natural dye derived from tropical trees logwood and Brazilwood. It binds to acids (ie.DNA & RNA), turning them a lovely shade of blue or purple. It's a daily go-to in pathology labs! Check out PMID: 30001639 for a great read on its history and usage.
Eosin? More like "Oh, so pink!" This synthetic dye binds to all things positive in cells and ECM, highlighting muscles and connective tissues in shades of pink and red. It's a routine go-to in pathology labs along with hematoxylin! #PathMemes #LabLife
Standard cancer detection tests are done with #tissuebiopsies.🧫
These are invasive, risky, and expensive as they require an endoscope and open surgery.
An alternative approach to this is Liquid Biopsy which is performed by drawing blood.🩸

Liquid biopsy is an innovative solution to #cancerdetection.
▪️They use a much smaller sample and have a quicker turnaround for results compared to tissue biopsies.
▪️They are more advantageous in detecting a metastasized tumor - when cancer has spread to multiple sites.

I was probably 5 or 6 years old when I first came across the reality of death. My aunt (mother’s elder sister) came to visit for the first time in my memory. Married to struggling artists the sisters, thick as thieves in their childhood, hardly met now #livingwithcancer #Cancer
I was too young to know at that time but she was dying. And she was in Delhi in the hope of delaying the eventuality. Mother of a young girl with special needs, she would, over the next few years, try everything she could to live. #livingwithcancer #Cancer #CancerAwareness
It’s at this time that I first heard how my grandfather — a man whose life, work and love for arts I had heard a lot about — died. Of #cancer in the colon in his late fifties. #livingwithcancer #CancerAwareness
