Background: This study aims to investigate: (a) the putative association between the presence of microcalcifications and the expression of both epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition and bone biomarkers, (b) the role of microcalcifications in the breast osteoblast-like cells (BOLCs) formation, and (c) the association between microcalcification composition and breast cancer progression.
Methods: We collected 174 biopsies on which we performed immunohistochemical and ultrastructural analysis. In vitro experiments were performed to demonstrate the relationship among microcalcification, BOLCs development, and breast cancer occurrence.
Article Synopsis
- * The study focuses on two cases of C. ulcerans infection in pet dogs in Italy, where strains were isolated from dogs with skin lesions; these strains produced a specific toxin but did not carry the typical diphtheria toxin genes.
- * The findings suggest that infections by C. ulcerans in pets may be more common than previously recognized, emphasizing the need for better identification in veterinary labs to prevent further spread and potential transmission to humans.
