Splenic cysts are rare medical conditions, and their incidence is dominated by parasitic types. Non-parasitic splenic cysts, whether true cysts (with a cellular lining of the cystic wall) or pseudocysts (without a cellular lining), are significantly rarer than parasitic ones. Their etiology is not fully established, with fetal remnant development, metaplasia, and mesothelial invagination being widely accepted possible mechanisms.

The milky spots are structures found in the omentum of humans and other vertebrates, representing a fraction of the lymphomyeloid tissue associated with the celom. They majorly consist of B lymphocytes, T lymphocytes, and macrophages. Also found in smaller quantities are mesothelial, stromal, dendritic, and rare mast cells.

Background: Mesothelioma is a rare, aggressive disease originating from mesothelial cells and carries a poor prognosis. Mesothelioma may arise from the pleura, pericardium, or peritoneum. Peritoneal mesothelioma (PM) usually spreads in a diffuse manner; however, a localized unifocal form of PM may occur.

Mesothelial and epicardial cells give rise to various types of mesenchymal cells via epithelial (mesothelial)-to-mesenchymal transition during development. However, the genes controlling the differentiation and diversification of mesothelial/epicardial cells remain unclear. Here, we examined Wnt2b expression in the embryonic mesothelium and epicardium and performed lineage tracing of Wnt2b-expressing cells by using novel Wnt2b-2A-CreERT2 knock-in and LacZ-reporter mice.

Peritoneal dialysis is a common treatment for end-stage renal disease, but complications often force its discontinuation. Preventive treatments for peritoneal inflammation and fibrosis are currently lacking. Cyclo(His-Pro) (CHP), a naturally occurring cyclic dipeptide, has demonstrated protective effects in various fibrotic diseases, yet its potential role in peritoneal fibrosis (PF) remains uncertain.
