The E3 ubiquitin ligase TRIP12 is required for pancreatic acinar cell plasticity and pancreatic carcinogenesis.

The E3 ubiquitin ligase thyroid hormone receptor interacting protein 12 (TRIP12) has been implicated in pancreatic adenocarcinoma (PDAC) through its role in mediating the degradation of pancreas transcription factor 1a (PTF1a). PTF1a is a transcription factor essential for the acinar differentiation state that is notably diminished during the early steps of pancreatic carcinogenesis. Despite these findings, the direct involvement of TRIP12 in the onset of pancreatic cancer has yet to be established.

Gingival Orofacial Granulomatosis Clinical and 2D/3D Microscopy Features after Orthodontic Therapy: A Pediatric Case Report.

Orofacial granulomatosis (OFG) represents a heterogeneous group of rare orofacial diseases. When affecting gingiva, it appears as a chronic soft tissue inflammation, sometimes combined with the enlargement and swelling of other intraoral sites, including the lips. Gingival biopsy highlights noncaseating granulomatous inflammation, similar to that observed in Crohn's disease and sarcoidosis.

A Spectral Principal Component Analysis-Based Framework for Composite Hard/Soft Tissue Fluorescence Image Investigation.

Traditional thin sectioning microscopy of large bone and dental tissue samples using demineralization may disrupt structure morphologies and even damage soft tissues, thus compromising the histopathological investigation. Here, we developed a synergistic and original framework on thick sections based on wide-field multi-fluorescence imaging and spectral Principal Component Analysis (sPCA) as an alternative, fast, versatile, and reliable solution, suitable for highly mineralized tissue structure sustain and visualization. Periodontal 2-mm thick sections were stained with a solution containing five fluorescent dyes chosen for their ability to discriminate close tissues, and acquisitions were performed with a multi-zoom macroscope for blue, green, red, and NIR (near-infrared) emissions.

3D Model Characterization by 2D and 3D Imaging in t(14;18)-Positive B-NHL: Perspectives for In Vitro Drug Screens in Follicular Lymphoma.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) is an indolent B cell lymphoproliferative disorder of transformed follicular center B cells, which accounts for 20-30 percent of all non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) cases. Great advances have been made to identify the most relevant targets for precision therapy. However, no relevant models for in vitro studies have been developed or characterized in depth.
