AI Article Synopsis
- Cytoplasmic vacuoles in FAB L3-type lymphoblasts are uncommon in neuroblastoma.
- Three children with neuroblastoma exhibited vacuolated cells that resembled L3-type lymphoblasts.

Article Abstract
Cytoplasmic vacuoles that have been seen in FAB L3-type lymphoblasts are not usual in neuroblastoma. The authors report three children with neuroblastoma having vacuolated cells mimicking L3-type lymphoblasts on bone marrow aspiration smears.

A sustained blood-stage infection of the human malaria parasite P. falciparum relies on the active exit of merozoites from their host erythrocytes. During this process, named egress, the infected red blood cell undergoes sequential morphological events: the rounding-up of the surrounding parasitophorous vacuole, the disruption of the vacuole membrane and finally the rupture of the red blood cell membrane.

Photodynamic therapy is a highly promising method for cancer adjuvant treatment. However, the current research on the microscopic changes during the photodynamic therapy process is still quite limited, which seriously impedes the deep understanding of the procedure. For this purpose, a novel polarity-responsive probe, , with excellent mitochondrial targeting and anchoring capabilities has been rationally designed and synthesized.

VEXAS syndrome is a haemato-inflammatory disease caused by somatic UBA1 mutations and characterized by cytoplasmic vacuoles in myeloid and erythroid precursor cells. Although there is currently no standard treatment algorithm for VEXAS, patients are generally treated with anti-inflammatory therapies focused on symptom management, with only partial effectiveness. Hypomethylating agents (HMA) have shown promise in VEXAS patients with concomitant myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS), while the efficacy of HMA in VEXAS patients without MDS is largely unknown.

Fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) can be employed to investigate membrane lipid mixing of vacuoles in live budding yeast cells and distinguish the fused, hemi-fused or non-fused states of these organelles under physiological conditions. Here, we describe a protocol for labeling the outer and inner leaflets of vacuoles in live cells that allow to detect hemifusion intermediates and, thus, identify components necessary for fusion pore opening.

The representatives of the archamoebian genus Pelomyxa are amoeboid anaerobic protists that inhabit fresh-water anoxic sediments, and most of them are usually multinucleate. The cytoplasm of these unicellular organisms is highly complicated and contains numerous vacuoles of different types, as well as a wide range of prokaryotic endocytobionts, agglomerations of glycogen, lipids, etc. Among the great variety of cytoplasmic structures in P.
