Voiding symptoms aggravate with decreasing stromal/epithelial ratio and increasing glandular-epithelial content in patients undergoing laser enucleation for benign prostatic hyperplasia, independently from prostate size.

PLoS ONE
IntroductionBenign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) includes epithelial, stromal and mixed hyperplasia, but their specific contributions to voiding symptoms and prostate volume (PV) are unknown.

Cellular expansion of hepatocellular carcinoma organoids using decellularized liver scaffolds

Clinical Transplantation and Research
Background : A decellularized liver scaffold (DLS) is a three-dimensional acellular extracellular matrix created by removing cellular components from liver tissue. Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) organoids represent a useful experimental model.

Age and the means of bypassing stasis are determinants of the intrinsic subtypes of immortalized human mammary epithelial cells

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2015
Based on molecular features, breast cancers are grouped into intrinsic subtypes that have different prognoses and therapeutic response profiles. With increasing age, breast cancer incidence increases, with hormone receptor-positive and other luminal-like

Synergistic Effects of Cosolvents on the Dissolution of Wool Keratin Using Ionic Liquids

, 2016
Keratin, regenerated from wool fibers, is widely used in the textile and medicine fields. In this work, a series of synthesized 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium-based ionic liquids (IL) were used to dissolve wool keratin.

Back to Basaloid: Revisiting the Diagnostic Dilemma of Basaloid Squamous Carcinoma Versus Small Cell Carcinoma on Lung Fine Needle Aspiration Biopsy Cytology

Diagnostic Cytopathology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Basaloid Squamous cell carcinoma (BSCC) is a rare subtype of squamous cell carcinoma whose cytomorphologic features on lung fine needle aspiration (FNAB) can mimic small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC), creating a diagnostic dilemma. As the distinction is critical for patient management and prognosis, this study aimed to determine if ...
