The aim of this study was to develop protocols for computer imaging of the thoraco-abdominal ganglion of Drosophila from serial semi-thin sections, in which specific neurons were stained and related to neuropilar structures. The central projections of a subset of transgenically labelled sensory neurons were revealed by immunohistochemistry, while Nomarski optics were used to show motor neuron targets in the neuropil. Digital photomicrographs of each section were aligned and the resultant image stacks rendered into three-dimensional (3D) images that can be rotated in real time. The result is a detailed, in-depth visualization of labelled neurons at a resolution comparable with that in confocal reconstructions, which also allows investigation of their relationships with other components of the neuropil.

Objective: This study utilized three cell lines: normal prostate epithelial RWPE-1, androgen-dependent LNCaP, and androgen-independent PC3. We investigated the inhibitory effects of phenylboronic acid (PBA)'s inhibitory effect on cellular proliferation due to its ability to disrupt microtubule formation in prostate cancer cell lines. Additionally, this study aimed to assess the cytotoxic effects of PBA on prostate cancer cells using twodimensional (2D) and three-dimensional (3D) cell culture models.

Background: Many plants, including those commonly found in the Fagaceae family, produce more flowers and ovules than mature fruits and seeds. In , an ovary contains 16-24 ovules, but only one develops into a seed. The other ovules abort or otherwise fail to fully develop, but the reason for this is unknown.

root regeneration is the process by which adventitious roots form around the wound site from wounded or detached plant organs. The root regeneration process has been widely exploited in cutting technology used for vegetative propagation. Here, we employed detached leaf explants from to form adventitious roots for studying the process of root regeneration.

Material And Methods: Biopsy specimens of the left atrium of donor hearts: group 1 - 8 samples after transportation with pharmaco-cold preservation of the graft in Bretschneider solution (Dr. Franz Köhler Chemie GmbH, Germany) up to 240 min, (Me 140), and group 2 - 5 samples after an extended pharmaco-cold period (more than 240 min; Me 375) were examined using light microscopy of semi-thin sections and transmission electron microscopy, followed by stereological and statistical analysis.

Background: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a widely used chemical with a harmful effect on animal and human. The neonatal and juvenile period is a highly risky neurodevelopmental period.
Aim: This study aimed to determine how male albino rat pups' cerebral cortex was altered by low doses of BPA given to mothers and the role of the oxidative stress.
