Uteri from four patients with endometrial adenocarcinoma and concomitant "functioning" endometrium were examined by a whole-organ sectioning technique. All showed one or several "progesterone-refractory" mucosal areas or polyps, mainly in the tubal recesses. In one patient the adenocarcinoma obviously originated in a fundal polyp, and in the others the tumors could have arisen in mucosal areas not adequately responding to progesterone. These findings do not in fact contradict the "unopposed estrogen" theory of the genesis of endometrial carcinoma.

Possible inhibition effects of resveratrol on pancreatic tumorigenesis in the azaserine-rat model.

Resveratrol, which is thought to have a preventive effect on the formation of different types of cancer, is abundant in grapes and other foods. Resveratrol has been shown to have anti-cancer effects by in vitro andin vivo studies, however this is the first time its effect on atypical acinar cell foci (AACF), known as precursor forms of pancreatic carcinoma, has been experimentally investigated. Male Sprague Dawley rats, each consisting of 5 experimental groups (Cont, AzCont, AzRes10, AzRes15, and AzRes20), 10 of which were 14 days old, were used in the study.

Background: The thymus, responsible for T cell-mediated adaptive immune system, has a structural and functional complexity that is not yet fully understood. Until now, thymic anatomy has been studied using histological thin sections or confocal microscopy 3D reconstruction, necessarily for limited volumes.
Methods: We used Phase Contrast X-Ray Computed Tomography to address the lack of whole-organ volumetric information on the microarchitecture of its structural components.
Evolution of Epiglottis and Preepiglottic Space of Primate Larynx as the Vocal Tract Is Acquired.

Article Synopsis
- The study examines how the epiglottis and preepiglottic space (PES) have evolved in primates, particularly focusing on their roles in vocal function and swallowing.
- It compares the larynges of various nonhuman primates (lemurs, galagos, macaques, gorillas, and chimpanzees) with humans, using detailed anatomical techniques to analyze differences.
- The findings suggest that changes in the structure of the epiglottis and PES over evolution have allowed for a longer pharyngeal space, which enhances speech production in humans and improves swallowing mechanics.
Click3D: Click reaction across deep tissues for whole-organ 3D fluorescence imaging.

Click chemistry offers various applications through efficient bioorthogonal reactions. In bioimaging, pretargeting strategies have often been used, using click reactions between molecular probes with a click handle and reporter molecules that make them observable. Recent efforts have integrated tissue-clearing techniques with fluorescent labeling through click chemistry, allowing high-resolution three-dimensional fluorescence imaging.

Laryngoscope Investig Otolaryngol
June 2024
Objectives: The growth and development of the epiglottis and preepiglottic space (PES) of the human larynx as it acquires the vocal tract were investigated.
Methods: Three newborns, one infant, four children (2, 7, 8, and 12 years old), and two adult normal larynges were investigated and compared using the whole organ serial section technique.
Results: The newborn PES occupied a small area just anterior to the epiglottis.
