Track1:  Cytology

Cytology is a branch of Science that deals with the structure, functioning and the Chemistry of Cell, a basic unit of the living organism. It is also employed in Cytodiagnosis, disease diagnosis and conditions through the examination of tissue samples from the body. Cytologists examine the slides and cytological examinations may be performed on body fluids such as blood, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid or on material that is aspirated from the body through syringe. Cytology also can involve examinations of preparations that are scraped or washed from specific areas of the body. Cytology 2016 is the best platform to know much about research in cytology.

Track 2: Cancer Cytology & Cancer Histology

Cancer is nearly always diagnosed by an expert who has looked at cell or tissue samples under a microscope. In some cases, tests done on the cells’ proteins, DNA, and RNA can help tell doctors if there’s cancer. These test results are very important when choosing the best treatment options.Tests of cells and tissues can find many other kinds of diseases, too. For instance, if doctors are not sure a lump is cancer, they may take out a small piece of it and have it tested for cancer by Cancer Diagnosis and for infections or other problems that can cause growths that may look like cancer.Cancer types can be grouped into histological categories, which include carcinoma, leukemia, lymphoma, myeloma, Sarcoma, mesothelioma.Cancer prevention is possible by the early detection of cancer through  cancer screening. Cytology 2016 is the best platform to know much about research in Cancer cytology and Cancer Histology.

Track 3: Stem Cell Cytology

Stem cells are characterized by their ability to differentiate and mature into other type of cells with specialized functions, they are identical cells found in the body which have the ability to continuously divide, self-renew themselves and differentiate into various kinds of cells. With the capacity of self-renewal, and differentiation, stem cells have been believed to be useful for treatment of a wide variety of diseases in the future, including stroke, traumatic brain injury, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, spinal cord injury, baldness, blindness, deafness, wound healing, amyotrophic lateral-sclerosis, myocardial infarction, muscular dystrophy, In general stem cell transplantation of specific stem cells into the injured tissue to replace the lost cells is an adequate way to repair the tissue. In fact, organ transplantation has been successfully practiced in clinics for liver or kidney failure. However, the severe shortage of donor organs has been a major obstacle for the expansion of organ transplantation programs. Toward that direction, generation of transplantable organs using stem cells is a desirable approach for organ replacement and would be of great interest for both basic and clinical scientists. Recently various methods came into existence; single adult tissue stem cells, a blastocyst complementation, tissue decellularization or recellularization and a combination of stem cells and tissue engineering and stem cell transplant is a procedure to replace damaged cells with healthy stem cells of the same person or in another compatible person to restore the normal production of cells. It can either be autologous or allogeneic. Bone marrow HSCs are generally used for the transplantation. Cytology 2016 is the best platform to know much about research in cytology.

Track 4:  Fine needle aspiration cytology

Fine needle aspiration cytology is the most frequently used technique in cytology and is typically used to sample lumps found on the body. It involves using a thin, hollow needle to remove samples of tissue or fluid from an organ of the body or a lump found under the skin. Once the samples of cells have been removed, they are sent to the laboratory for further testing. Fine needle aspiration is usually done to identify the type of cells inside a lump or to see how well treatment of an existing lump is working. It is commonly used to investigate lumps found in the breast or thyroid gland but it can also be used in other parts of the body. It is a very useful way of detecting cancer.However, it is also used to evaluate: internal organs such as the liver, lung, lymph node, or kidney body fluids such as urine or joint fluid abnormal accumulations of fluid usually found in the chest and abdomen, and sometimes around the heart.Cytology 2016 is the best platform to know much about research in cytology.

Track 6: Cytology Screening

Cytology screening is the ability to screen a predominantly negative cytology slide and notice occasional abnormalities among many thousands of cells. It is a method in which screening is done for the detection of early disease, through microscopic examination of a cellular specimen by inspecting each cell and structure present, usually at ×100 magnification with a mechanical stage, so that all areas are screened; the findings are evaluated and significant abnormalities are flagged for further evaluation by a cytopathologist. There are several methods in cytological screening: rapid rescreening, rapid pre-screening, automated screening, Cancer Diagnosis,cancer screening, assessing personal and laboratory performance of primary screening.

Track 7: Clinical Cytology

Clinical Cytology is the diagnosis of disease through the microscopic examination of cells that are collected by various means. In clinical cytology cells are loosened from the tissue mass and transferred to a cytological slide, examined and evaluated. Cytological testing presupposes a high degree of expertise. Clinical Cytology has the advantage that collection of material can be undertaken without serious inconvenience to the patient; time and equipment requirements are modest and, where necessary, repeat testing is nearly always possible.

Track 8: Advanced Techniques in Cytology and Histology

New developments in the field of Cytology and Histology have challenged the way cytopathologists and histopathologists approach the diagnosis of a particular disease. The vast majority diseases are diagnosed in advanced clinical stages and are diagniosed by advanced cytological techniques. These include methods used in cell biology to culture, track, phenotype, sort and screen cells in populations or tissues, and molecular methods to understand cellular function. Advanced techniques in cytology and histology include fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), digital image analysis (DIA), immunohistochemistry, histomorphometry etc. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a technique that uses fluorescently labeled DNA probes to detect chromosomal alterations in cells. Through this advanced method one can detect various types of cytogenetic alterations, chromosomal abnormalities consistent with neoplasia in exfoliative and aspiration cytology specimens. Immunohistochemistry is a method that visualizes distribution and localization of specific antigen or cellular components in separated tissues, or tissue sections.

Track 9: Human Histology

Human histology is the scientific study of the fine detail of biological cells and tissues of humans using microscopes to look at specimens of tissues that have been carefully prepared using special processes called "histological techniques". It is often carried out by examining a thin slice called a "section" of tissue under a light microscope or an electron microscope. In order to distinguish different biological structures more easily and accurately histological stains are often used to add colours to or enhance the colours of certain types of biological structures differently from other types of structures that may be located next to and/or in contact with each other.

Track 10: Histological Diagnosis

Histological diagnosis can be defined as the microscopic examination of a biopsy or surgical specimen to study the manifestations of disease. In histological diagnosis, the tissue is taken off from the body by surgery, autopsy or biopsy then it is fixed over the glass slide as a method of stabilization and stained with dyes followed by examination under the microscope. The fixation is done to prevent tissue decay. Trained physicians, frequently licensed pathologists, are the personnel who perform histological diagnosis and provide diagnostic information based on their observations. Fixation, processing, and sectioning are the first three steps towards getting a diagnosis.

 Track 13:Cell Differentiation

Cell differentiation is a continuous process where the less specialized or a primitive sell gets transformed into a more specialized one to carry complex processes of the cell. Differentiation occurs numerous times during the development of a multicellular organism as it changes from a simple zygote to a complex system of tissues and cell types. Differentiation continues in adulthood as adult stem cells divide and create fully differentiated daughter cells during tissue repair and during normal cell turnover.

 Track 14: Cell Signalling

Cell signaling is detection of the stimulus on the surface of the plasma membrane and transfer of the signal to the cytoplasmic side. Transmission of the signal to effector molecules and down a signaling pathway where every protein typically changes the conformation of the next down the path, most commonly by phosphorylation or dephosphorylation. The final effect is to trigger a cell’s response, such as the activation of gene transcription. Cells communicate by means of extracellular signaling molecules that are produced and released by signaling cells. These molecules recognize and bind to receptors on the surface of target cells where they cause a cellular response by means of a signal transduction pathway.

Global Market Analysis :

Based on geography, the global cell analysis market is segmented into North America, Europe, Asia, and the Rest of the World .North America accounted for the largest share of the market in 2013.

Enhanced accuracy of cell imaging and analysis systems helps in reducing the time and costs involved in the drug discovery process. This is a major factor driving the growth of the cell analysis market. In addition to it the market is witnessing significant technological innovations and continuous improvements in cell analysis instruments and consumables for applications such as cell identification, cell proliferation, and target toxicity studies. This is another factor propelling the growth of this market. Corporate and government support for the growth of innovative technologies and rising demand for outsourcing of drug discovery services. Based on cell analysis products, the consumables market commanded the largest share of ~65.5% in 2013. However, the cell analysis instruments market is poised to grow at the highest CAGR from 2013 to 2018. UK regulators have already rejected cancer treatments because they failed rules that no drug should cost more than £30,000 per extra year of a patient's life.

Geographically, North America holds a leading position in the histology and cytology market followed by the European market. The factor responsible for the growth of histology and cytology market is increasing cancer incidence rates in these regions. Asia-Pacific is growing at a very rapid pace and is considered to be as one of the most developing regions across geographies.

The histology and cytology market will benefit the Asia-Pacific region to a great extent. The prime factors driving the growth of this market are huge population density in countries like India and China which make them vulnerable to various infectious diseases, efficient testing of samples can result in cost saving and faster outcomes to patients and increasing awareness of individuals about their health. The diagnosis will help the patients to detect the type of cancer, the cell of origin and their extent of spread which will in turn drive the market growth.

Market Growth:

The global cell analysis market was valued at an estimated $16.7 billion in 2013 and is expected to reach $23.0 billion by 2018, growing at a CAGR of 6.6% from 2013 to 2018.The market for the treatment in the US, Europe and Japan is expected to be worth nearly $9 billion by 2022 against $1.1 billion in 2012.
