Hello everyone! To pathologists here, what is the best whole slide image viewer (like Aperio ImageScope) for Mac? It seems we can only install ImageScope on Windows, and we are looking for an equivalent. Thank you! 😊

EWSR1-NFATC2—associated sarcoma. NB: a very rare neoplasm, predominating in bone; anatomizing cords-to-sheets of small-to-medium cells; abundant myxohyaline stroma; RNA-seq useful in differentiating from potential mimics (Ewing sarcoma, myoepithelial tumour, &c).

Hello, PathTwitter! I have not been posting going here recently because of new work responsibilities last year, but this year one of the goals is to get back to doing things I actually like doing, such as learning from everyone here. Hope we have a good year ahead! 😊

Sonic Hedgehog (SHH) signaling pathway... SHH binds PTCH1, leading to release of SMO (Smoothened), altering transcription and cell growth. Mutations in the pathway are involved in birth defects, basal cell carcinoma, Gorlin Syndrome, medulloblastoma, & other tumors.

Who knew blueberries could teach us about healthy cells? 🫐😲. Today’s #IntroToPath, I use 'em to explain metaplasia (🖤 blackberries), hyperplasia, and hypertrophy 💪🏽. It's like a berry-licious journey through the world of pathology! 🌎#Path4People #BerriesForEducation 🍓🍒🔬
