We studied morphological changes in the myocardium during experimental myocardial infarction in rats with different resistance to hypoxia. Microscopic examination showed that morphological changes in the ischemic zone and adjacent tissues are different in rats with high and low resistance to acute ischemia. In highly resistant rats, necrotic changes in cardiomyocytes included focal contracture and loosening. These changes were followed by the formation of focal necroses with well-defined boundaries, dense demarcation infiltrates, and pronounced hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes in the adjacent tissue. In low resistant rats, pronounced edema in the ischemia zone and numerous hemorrhages in the interstitial tissue developed in the early stage after coronary occlusion. These changes were followed by the formation of more extensive necrotic areas with diffuse boundaries, less pronounced demarcation, and irregular hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes in the surrounding tissue.

Gallbladder cancer is the most prevalent malignancy of the biliary tract and has a dismal overall survival even in the present day. The development of new drugs holds promise for improving the prognosis of this lethal disease. The possible anti-neoplastic role of morusin was investigated both in vitro and in vivo.

Breast cancer patients experience more severe emotional distress and depression compared to those with other cancers. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), like citalopram, are commonly used to treat depression. However, the link between SSRI use and breast cancer progression is debated.

Background: Emerging evidence suggests that there are morphological and physiological changes to the vastus lateralis after an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tear. However, it is unclear whether these alterations are limited to just the vastus lateralis or are more representative of widespread changes across the thigh musculature and/or if these changes precede reconstruction. The purpose of this study was to determine T1ρ relaxation time, a measure of extracellular matrix organization in muscle, and physiological cross-sectional area (PCSA) for muscles of the quadriceps and hamstrings of the ACL-deficient and contralateral limbs soon after ACL injury.

Microglia-resident immune cells in the central nervous system-undergo morphological and functional changes in response to signals from the local environment and mature into various homeostatic states. However, niche signals underlying microglial differentiation and maturation remain unknown. Here, we show that neuronal micronuclei (MN) transfer to microglia, which is followed by changing microglial characteristics during the postnatal period.

The effect of different feeding habits on gut morphology and digestive function has been intensively studied during the last decades but sympatric closely related fishes are relatively rare objects of such studies. In the present study, we have identified both morphological and physiological changes in the digestive system of a sympatric pair of whitefish represented by "normal" Coregonus lavaretus pidschian (benthivorous) and "dwarf" C. l.
