Published: November 2024

Introduction: The World Health Organization 2021 lung cancer classification highlights the central role of immunohistochemistry (IHC) in diagnostic pathology. Despite traditional IHC being essential, its limitation to one marker per tissue section brings challenges, particularly when facing cytological limitedly sized samples. To overcome these challenges, multiplex immunocytochemistry (mICC) techniques offer the simultaneous detection of multiple markers from a single section. These advances complement the highly complex imaging techniques that enable additional analyses of cellular interactions.

Methods: The present study outlines a comprehensive mICC methodology of an automated multiplex immunoperoxidase staining method and multiple tissue hybrid controls for ICC/mICC. Protocols are presented in detail and demonstrate a careful approach to optimizing various markers for diagnostic workup including immunotherapy.

Conclusion: Multiplex IHC/ICC emerges as a transformative force in biomedical diagnostics and research. Beyond simultaneous marker detection, it unravels complexities within tissues - unveiling co-localization nuances, deciphering expression patterns, and enhancing understanding of cellular populations. As personalized treatments gain prominence, the study emphasizes the heightened importance of diagnostic tools and sample adequacy. The present methodological study, encapsulating an automated multiplex immunoperoxidase staining method, symbolizes a stride towards precision in pulmonary carcinoma diagnosis. Multi-tissue controls represent a key element in quality assurance in pathology laboratories.

Recent developments in mass spectrometry-based proteomics have established it as a robust tool for system-wide analyses essential for pathophysiological research. While post-mortem samples are a critical source for these studies, our understanding of how body decomposition influences the proteome remains limited. Here, we have revisited published data and conducted a clinically relevant time-course experiment in mice, revealing organ-specific proteome regulation after death, with only a fraction of these changes linked to protein autolysis.

Background: Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) and its more severe form steatohepatitis (MASH) contribute to rising morbidity and mortality rates. The storage of fat in humans is closely associated with these diseases' progression. Thus, adipose tissue metabolic homeostasis could be key in both the onset and progression of MASH.

Converting a three-dimensional medical image into a 3D mesh that satisfies both the quality and fidelity constraints of predictive simulations and image-guided surgical procedures remains a critical problem. Presented is an image-to-mesh conversion method called CBC3D. It first discretizes a segmented image by generating an adaptive Body-Centered Cubic (BCC) mesh of high-quality elements.

Article Synopsis
  • Endurance exercise training (ExT) leads to significant changes in lipid composition across various tissues, highlighting the need for a deeper understanding of these alterations.
  • In a study involving Fischer-344 rats, it was found that both male and female rats show distinct lipid remodeling in tissues like the heart, liver, and skeletal muscle after different durations of ExT.
  • Exercise resulted in lower body fat and better cardiorespiratory fitness, with important changes in types of lipids (like phospholipids and ceramides) that could help explain how exercise benefits overall health.

Female zebrafish are more affected than males under polystyrene microplastics exposure.

Microplastics are ubiquitous in freshwater and can be absorbed into fish skin and gills, accumulate in the gut, and be transported to other tissues, thus posing a risk to fish health. Further studies are needed, however, to investigate effects such as endocrine disruption and multi-tissue toxicity. In this study, zebrafish were exposed to polystyrene (PS) microplastics and health-related indicators were measured, including skin mucus, gut damage, oxidative stress, stable isotope composition and reproduction as well as an assessment of changes to metabolites using a metabolomics approach.
