In situ nick translation of human and mouse chromosome preparations has provided further evidence that DNase I sensitivity correlates with transcriptionally active chromatin. Chromosomes from differentiating cells and particular chromosome regions, known to differ in transcriptional activity, generally reveal predicted differences in relative DNase I sensitivity. The application of a biotinylated nucleotide in these studies provides a new level of cytological resolution and offers the potential for further refinement.

Uterine histomorphological and immunohistochemical investigation during the follicular phase of estrous cycle in Saidi sheep.

Background: Saidi sheep are one of the most important farm animals in Upper Egypt, particularly in the Assiut governorate. Since they can provide meat, milk, fiber, and skins from low-quality roughages, sheep are among the most economically valuable animals bred for food in Egypt. Regarding breeding, relatively little is known about the Saidi breed.

This study demonstrates the effectiveness of propidium iodide as a reliable marker for detecting dead or dying cells in frozen liver tissue sections. By comparing propidium iodide staining with the widely used Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay, both methods showed consistent results in disease models such as alcohol-induced fibrosis and Western diet-induced fatty liver. Additionally, propidium iodide was successfully co-stained with other fluorescent markers, like phalloidin (for actin filaments) and antibodies targeting collagen, enabling detailed spatial analysis of dying cells within tissue.

Purpose: Studies have suggested that photoreceptors (PR) are altered by diabetes, contributing to diabetic retinopathy (DR) pathology. Here, we explored the effect of diabetes on retinal ischemic injury.
Methods: Retinal ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury was caused by elevation of intraocular pressure in 10-week-old BKS db/db type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) mice or C57BL/6J mice at 4 or 12 weeks after streptozotocin (STZ)-induced type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM), and respective nondiabetic controls.

The planarian Schmidtea mediterranea shows nutrient-dependent whole-body plasticity. Starvation leads to body size reduction, while feeding triggers growth. The balance of cell proliferation and cell death controls cell number, driving organismal body size.

Introduction: Feeding via a misplaced nasogastric tube (NGT) is a common but preventable cause of patient harm. The aim of this study was to determine the accuracy of diagnostic radiographers' assessment of NGT position on chest radiographs (CXRs) and safe-to-feed decisions.
Methods: A multi-case, multi-reader study was conducted using an online image interpretation platform.
