A new pH fluorescent probe 2,8-bis(acridin-9-ylethynyl)-6,12-5,11-methanodibenzo[,][1,5]diazocine (TBN), which has two acridine moieties attached to Tröger's base, is a useful fluorescent probe for monitoring extreme acidic and alkaline pH. TBN displays an excellent pH dependent behavior and responds linearly to extreme conditions in the pH ranges of 1.4-3.4 and 12.5-15.0. TBN can represent a novel type of fluorescent probe with perfect emission properties in extreme acidic and alkaline conditions by utilizing only one functional group.

Since death is an inevitable phenomenon, exploring cell deaths holds importance. During this process, the cellular microenvironment within cells such as pH, polarity, viscosity etc alter. One such microenvironment, viscosity elevates during different cell deaths.

There has been previous research linking AD to the missense variants ABI3-rs616338-T and PLCG2-rs72824905-G, and the altered expression of these genes has been shown to disrupt microglial function. In our understanding of AD risk and resilience, limited research has been conducted on how these variants affect microglial subtypes and states in AD.

Tau lesions differ in their disease-specific morphological presentations, affected cell type, subcellular compartments and tau isoforms present in the inclusions. In addition, tau filaments isolated from different tauopathies have distinct fibrillar structures that potentially underlie the morphological diversity of tau lesions.

Objective: Stain normalization is a technique used to standardize the color appearance of digital whole slide images (WSIs). This study aimed to assess the impact of digital stain normalization on prostate cancer diagnosis by pathologists.
Methods: A multi-institutional board of four pathologists evaluated 407 hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) prostate WSIs before and after stain normalization.

Background: Since 2017, dermatophytosis caused by the newly introduced species Trichophyton indotineae has gained new interest worldwide due to the rise in terbinafine resistance and difficulty in the treatment of recalcitrant infections. Distinguishing T. indotineae from other Trichophyton species based on morphological features is impossible and DNA sequencing is necessary for accurate identification.
