Background: Apoptosis was initially identified through transmission electron microscopy. Subsequent advances in morphological techniques for apoptosis detection have revealed its involvement in multiple pathological conditions in various tissues. This review summarizes previous experimental studies on apoptotic cell death during regressive changes in the salivary glands, with a focus on morphological observations.

- Pediatric patients with gastrointestinal (GI) polyposis and cancer often have hereditary cancer risk syndromes that necessitate ongoing cancer screening.
- Recognizing at-risk individuals through family history and clinical features aids in effective cancer risk assessment and management from childhood onward.
- The 2024 updates to hereditary GI cancer screening guidelines emphasize collaboration between pediatric and adult gastroenterology to enhance management practices, focusing on conditions like familial adenomatous polyposis, Peutz-Jeghers syndrome, and juvenile polyposis syndrome.
Background: Although feeding with a liquid diet does not affect the growth of rat submandibular glands, it inhibits the growth of rat parotid glands during growth periods. In these growth-inhibited parotid glands, the growth of parasympathetic nerves is also suppressed. Meanwhile, the mature parotid glands of animals maintained on a liquid diet become morphologically and functionally atrophic, however, there is no effect of a liquid diet on mature submandibular glands.

During EHT, the morphology of hemogenic endothelial cells (HECs) changes from flat and adherent to spherical hematopoietic cells, which detach from the dorsal aorta. HECs attain a rounded shape in a mitosis-independent manner before cell adhesion termination, suggesting an atypical cell-rounding mechanism.

Case Presentation: An 80-year-old man underwent radical prostatectomy for prostate cancer, followed by radiotherapy after the operation because of increased serum prostate-specific antigen levels of 0.
