Article Synopsis
  • * Researchers created models using mice to study 115 cases of DCIS, helping them discover important signs that can indicate whether a case is high-risk.
  • * The study found that certain traits in DCIS, like being high grade or having specific genetic changes, suggest a higher chance of becoming invasive cancer, and they built a collection of 19 models for further research.

In the present study, 3D histochemistry and imaging methodology is described for human gingiva to analyze its vascular network. Fifteen human gingiva samples without signs of inflammation were cleared using a mixture of 2-parts benzyl benzoate and 1-part benzyl alcohol (BABB), after being immunofluorescently stained for CD31, marker of endothelial cells to visualize blood vessels in combination with fluorescent DNA dyes. Samples were imaged in 3D with the use of confocal microscopy and light-sheet microscopy and image processing.
