Validation of digital pathology imaging for primary histopathological diagnosis.

Aims: Digital pathology (DP) offers advantages over glass slide microscopy (GS), but data demonstrating a statistically valid equivalent (i.e. non-inferior) performance of DP against GS are required to permit its use in diagnosis.

Differing responses of human follicular and nonfollicular scalp cells in an in vitro wound healing assay: effects of estrogen on vascular endothelial growth factor secretion.

Improved wound healing of hairy skin may involve mesenchymal hair follicle cells with stem cell potential and enhancement by estrogen therapy. How estrogen affects follicular dermal papilla (DP) and dermal sheath (DS) cells in wound healing is unknown. Therefore, a comparison of estradiol action on DP, DS, and corresponding interfollicular dermal fibroblasts (DF) in a scratch-wound assay was performed using matching primary cultures established from female temporo-occipital scalp.
