Published: September 1995

In micrographic (Mohs') surgery, routine haematoxylin and eosin stains may present difficulties in interpretation of infiltrative (morphoeic) basal cell carcinoma. To supplement these routine stains rapid immunoperoxidase and immunofluorescence techniques are described using cytokeratin markers Dako LP34, MNF 116 or Novocastra NCL-Pan CK on frozen sections to help in the histological evaluation of these tumours.

Phytochemicals have been effectively used to enhance the growth and productivity of farm animals, while the potential roles of essential oils and their nano-emulsions are limited. This plan was proposed to investigate the impacts of orally administered moringa oil (MO) or its nano-emulsion (NMO) on the growth, physiological response, blood health, semen attributes, and sperm antioxidant-related genes in rams. A total of 15 growing Rahmani rams were enrolled in this study and allotted into three groups.

Failure to repair damaged NAD(P)H blocks de novo serine synthesis in human cells.

Background: Metabolism is error prone. For instance, the reduced forms of the central metabolic cofactors nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NADH) and nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH), can be converted into redox-inactive products, NADHX and NADPHX, through enzymatically catalyzed or spontaneous hydration. The metabolite repair enzymes NAXD and NAXE convert these damaged compounds back to the functional NAD(P)H cofactors.

This study assessed the novel concept that osteoclast-derived Grem1 has regulatory functions in the skeletal response to calcium stress using an osteoclastic Grem1 conditional knockout (cKO) mouse model. The calcium stress was initiated by feeding cKO mutants and wildtype (WT) littermates a calcium-deficient diet for 2 weeks. Deletion of Grem1 in mature osteoclasts did not affect developmental bone growth nor basal bone turnover.

Aims: WNT signalling pathway dysregulation is often a critical early component in colorectal neoplasia, particularly the chromosomal instability pathway. Using two WNT reporters, and , we sought to assess whether these polyps demonstrate predictable expression patterns and if these patterns show diagnostic value.

Methods: We evaluated 23 adenomas (TA), 23 sessile serrated lesions (SSLs), 14 SSL with dysplasia and 38 traditional serrated adenomas (TSA).

Objective: Loss of functional β-cell mass is a major cause of diabetes. Thus, identifying regulators of β-cell health is crucial for treating this disease. The In this study, we assessed the regulation of Lgr4 in islets, and the role of LGR4 and LGR4/RANK stoichiometry in β-cell health under basal and stress-induced conditions, in vitro and in vivo.
