New transplantable rat mammary tumor lines derived from 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracence (DMBA)- and N-methyl-N-nitrosourea (MNU)-induced carcinogenesis were established and characterized for biological and morphological criteria in the course of multiple tumor generations growing in female or male Wistar rats. DMBA-derived tumors RMT-1, RMT-2 and RMT-3 converted from adenocarcinoma to fibrosarcoma in the early passages. Conversion proceeded earlier in tumors with a well differentiated epithelial component compared to less differentiated ones, providing evidence for clonal spindle cell selection as the most probable mechanism responsible. On the other hand, MNU-derived tumor lines--RMT-4 and RMT-5--maintained histological patterns of parent tumors for a long time, exceeding 20 passages. Analysis of stromal cell tumor component and its interference with developmental sequences of transplantable tumor progression contributes to the explanation of some recent divergent findings (1, 2, 3, 4, 5).

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) adversely affects various organs, including the brain and its blood barrier. In addition to the brain, hyperglycemia damages the testes. The testes possess blood-tissue barriers that share common characteristics and proteins with the blood-brain barrier (BBB), including breast cancer-resistant protein (BCRP).

With the increasing incidence of thyroid cancer worldwide and the increasing demand for surgery, the risk of parathyroid injury is also increasing, which will lead to postoperative hypoparathyroidism (HP) and hypocalcemia. In order to improve the quality of life of patients after surgery, there is an urgent need to develop a novel platform that can identify the parathyroid gland immediately during surgery. The parathyroid gland promotes the increase of blood calcium concentration by secreting parathyroid hormone (PTH).

Unlabelled: Echocardiographic myocardial strain is crucial for early detection of anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity, particularly in patients at moderate or high risk.
Background/objectives: This study investigates changes in global longitudinal strain (GLS) in breast cancer patients with low baseline risk for cardiotoxicity during cancer therapy. We also examined the relationship between echocardiographic strain, structural myocardial changes, and microRNA (miRNA) dysregulation associated with cancer treatment using an animal model.

Despite recent advances in imaging- and antibody-based methods, achieving in-depth, high-resolution protein mapping across entire tissues remains a significant challenge in spatial proteomics. Here, we present parallel-flow projection and transfer learning across omics data (PLATO), an integrated framework combining microfluidics with deep learning to enable high-resolution mapping of thousands of proteins in whole tissue sections. We validated the PLATO framework by profiling the spatial proteome of the mouse cerebellum, identifying 2,564 protein groups in a single run.

Diffuse optical tomography (DOT) enables the in vivo quantification of tissue chromophores, specifically the discernment of oxy- and deoxy-hemoglobin (HbO and HbR, correspondingly). This specific criterion is useful in detecting and predicting early-stage neoadjuvant breast cancer treatment response. To address the issues of the limited channels in the fiber-dependent breast DOT system and limited signal-to-noise ratio in the camera-dependent systems, we hereby present a camera-based lock-in detection scheme to achieve dynamic DOT with improved SNR, which adopted orthogonal frequency division multiplexing technology.
