A modified Papanicolaou staining procedure using diluted Harris' hematoxylin with potassium alum is described. Nucleolar staining varies from blue to bright red. This technique has been applied to mammary tumor cell lines in vitro under several conditions of hormonal stimulation known to induce protein synthesis and cell differentiation. Blue nucleoli are observed in control resting cells, while bright red nucleoli are seen after hormonal stimulation.

Spinal cord injury (SCI) is one of the devastating neurological disorders that leads to a loss of motor and sensory functions. Long non-coding RNA small nucleolar RNA host gene 6 (lncRNA SNHG6) plays a crucial role in inflammatory regulation across various diseases. This study investigates the role of SNHG6 in SCI development and its underlying regulatory mechanisms.

Melanoma antigen gene-A2 (MAGE-A2) is one of the most cancer-testis antigens overexpressed in a variety of malignancies. However, the expression of MAGE-A2 for clinical values in the pathophysiology of renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is unknown. For the first time, the present study was conducted to examine the expression and prognostic significance of MAGE-A2 expression in clear cell RCC (ccRCC).

Background: The dysregulation of ribosome biogenesis has been extensively identified in various cancers, making it emerge as a hallmark of malignant cells. This highlights the potential of targeting ribosome biogenesis as an effective approach for treating cancer patients. Although chemotherapy drugs including doxorubicin and cisplatin often target ribosome biogenesis to induce DNA damage or inhibit tumor cell proliferation, they are associated with significant side effects.

Aim: This study investigates the impact of sub-toxic cisplatin levels on nuclear and nucleolar abnormalities and chromosome instability in HeLa cells since our current knowledge of cisplatin effects on these parameters is based on studies with high concentrations of cisplatin.

Materials And Methods: HeLa cells were exposed to gradually increasing sub-toxic doses of cisplatin (0.01 to 0.
