The effects of splenectomy on tumor growth following inoculation with a relatively large number of cells (1 X 10(7) ) and a smaller number of cells (5 X 10(5) ) of Meth I tumor were studied. When 1 X 10(7) tumor cells were inoculated, tumor growth in splenectomized mice was depressed, while tumor in sham-operated mice grew progressively. On the contrary, when 5 X 10(5) tumor cells were inoculated, the tumor take was lower in sham-operated than in splenectomized mice. The spleen cells from mice inoculated with either a large or small number of tumor cells, showed an equally potent cytotoxic activity, but no detectable suppressor cell activity. On the other hand, the activity of immunosuppressive factor was detected in sera from mice inoculated with 1 X 10(7) tumor cells, but not in those given 5 X 10(5) cells. The effect of splenectomy on tumor growth is, thus, bidirectional, depending on the dose of tumor cells inoculated.

Objective: Gliomas are a general designation for neuroepithelial tumors derived from the glial cells of the central nervous system. According to the histopathological and immunohistochemical features, the World Health Organization classifies gliomas into four grades. Bevacizumab is a monoclonal antibody targeting vascular endothelial growth factor that has been approved for the treatment of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) as a second-line therapy.

Superficial CD34+ fibroblastic tumor (SCD34FT) is a relatively recently described borderline mesenchymal neoplasm. Owing to a relative lack of specificity in clinical presentation, radiopathologic findings, and immunohistochemical staining, the diagnoses of SCD34FT can be challenging. In this study, we present a case of a 55-year-old woman with an indolent painless nodule on the right shin.

This work established the cytotoxic, antioxidant and anticancer effects of copper nanoparticles (CuNPs) manufactured with fennel extract, especially on non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) as well. CuNPs caused cytotoxicity in a dose-dependent manner for two NSCLC cell lines, A549 and H1650. At 100 μg/ml, CuNPs reduced cell viability to 70% in A549 cells and 65% in H1650 cells.

Elucidating the interaction between membrane proteins and antibodies requires whole-cell imaging at high spatiotemporal resolution. Lattice light-sheet (LLS) microscopy offers fast volumetric imaging but suffers from limited spatial resolution. DNA-based point accumulation for imaging in nanoscale topography (DNA-PAINT) achieves molecular resolution but is restricted to two-dimensional imaging owing to long acquisition times.
