In December 2018 the patient over 60 years old sought medical help with complaints of persistent cough. Based on computed tomography data there were identified the sings (symptoms) of right lung lower lobe atelectasis. To run this patient diagnostics there were performed 6 bronchoscopies narrowed down by bronchi checks up only and described the right lung central cancer picture.

To study the spatiotemporal patterning of pluripotent stem cells of different origins, we developed a three-dimensional embryoid body (EB) differentiation model quantifying volumetric parameters and investigated how the EB architecture formation, patterning, and scaling depend on the proliferation, cavitation, and differentiation dynamics, external environmental factors, and cell numbers. We identified three similar spatiotemporal patterns in the EB architectures, regardless of cell origin, which constitute the EB archetype and mimick the pre-gastrulation embryonic patterns.

This 3D cell model allows for analyzing spatiotemporal changes during morphogenesis and differentiation. A combination of confocal microscopy with high content image analysis (HCIA) can significantly improve the study of spatiotemporal patterns of early embryonic lineages and compound efficacy and toxicity testing by enhancing the identification and quantification of various cell types.

Current international guidelines on the treatment of uterine carcinomas predominantly cover cancer with endometrioid histology, and clinicians tend to use the same approach for patients with non-endometrioid histology due to the absence of separate guidelines for these rare tumor types. At present, molecular analysis enables the assessment of novel and non-standard treatment options based on the individual characteristics of a tumor.

To investigate the consistency between adverse drug effects on early development and the early stages of embryonic stem cell differentiation in three-dimensional (3D) in vitro culture, the toxic responses to 5-hydroxytryptophan (5-HTP; 0.5-2 mM) were evaluated in early mouse embryos and the embryoid body (EB) differentiation model.
