The traditional silver staining technique that identifies nucleolar organizer region-associated proteins has recently been adapted and applied to paraffin sections, and used to examine changes in nucleolar organizer region numbers in a variety of benign and malignant conditions. We describe herein the enumeration of nucleolar organizer regions in a variety of benign and malignant conditions of the transitional epithelium of the urinary bladder. While there is a statistical separation between normal and neoplastic groups, there is a degree of overlap between normal, inflammatory, dysplastic, and neoplastic urothelium.

The nucleolus is a major subnuclear compartment where ribosomal DNA (rDNA) is transcribed and ribosomes are assembled. In addition, recent studies have shown that the nucleolus is a dynamic organizer of chromatin architecture that modulates developmental gene expression. rDNA gene units are assembled into arrays located in the p-arms of five human acrocentric chromosomes.

Article Synopsis
- This study presents a novel in vitro muscle-derived cell line from a stranded male Cuvier's Beaked whale, facilitating research on its myogenic cells.
- The characterization involved various assays that assessed growth rate, fusion index, and chromosomal analysis, showing the cells' capability to fuse into multinucleated myotubes over time.
- The findings highlight the potential of this whale cell line for understanding cetacean muscle physiology and assessing the impacts of water pollutants through in vitro models.
Anti-NOR90 antibodies and their clinical significance: a multicenter experience in southern Spain.

Introduction: Anti-NOR90 antibodies were initially described in patients with autoimmune diseases based on staining of a nucleolar region known as the nucleolar organizer region (NOR). This study aims to explore the clinical aspects of anti-NOR90 antibodies in patients with systemic autoimmune diseases.
Methods: Observational study of patients with positive anti-NOR90 antibodies using the EUROLINE Systemic Sclerosis profile (IgG) kit (Euroimmun, Germany).
