In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Deep Transfer Learning Methods for Colon Cancer Classification in Confocal Laser Microscopy Images
Purpose: The gold standard for colorectal cancer metastases detection in the peritoneum is histological evaluation of a removed tissue sample. For feedback during interventions, real-time in-vivo imaging with confocal laser microscopy has been proposed ...

Non-invasive depth profiling of the stratum corneum in vivo using confocal Raman microscopy considering the non-homogeneous distribution of keratin [PDF]
Confocal Raman microscopy has a number of advantages in investigating the human stratum corneum (SC) in vivo and ex vivo. The penetration profiles of xenobiotics in the SC, as well as depth profiles of the physiological parameters of the SC, such as the ...

Dystonia: sparse synapses for D2 receptors in striatum of a DYT1 knock-out mouse model [PDF]
Dystonia pathophysiology has been partly linked to downregulation and dysfunction of dopamine D2 receptors in striatum. We aimed to investigate the possible morpho-structural correlates of D2 receptor downregulation in the striatum of a DYT1 Tor1a mouse ...

Biomolecular condensates formed by fused in sarcoma (FUS) are dissolved by high ATP concentrations yet persist in cells. Using a reconstituted system, we demonstrate that valosin‐containing protein (VCP), an AAA+ ATPase, counteracts ATP‐driven dissolution of FUS condensates through its D2 ATPase activity.

Super-resolution microscopy reveals glioma cell footprints and exosome deposits
Gliomas are aggressive brain tumors whose infiltrative growth is mediated by intercellular crosstalk. Exosomes, small extracellular vesicles, play a key role in cell–cell communication but are difficult to visualize using conventional microscopy ...

Intratumoral Cancer Cell Intravasation Can Occur Independent of Invasion into the Adjacent Stroma
Summary: Intravasation, active entry of cancer cells into the circulation, is often considered to be a relatively late event in tumor development occurring after stromal invasion. Here, we provide evidence that intravasation can be initiated early during

Deconvolution of confocal microscopy images using proximal iteration and sparse representations [PDF]
We propose a deconvolution algorithm for images blurred and degraded by a Poisson noise. The algorithm uses a fast proximal backward-forward splitting iteration.

Aggressive prostate cancer is associated with pericyte dysfunction
Tumor‐produced TGF‐β drives pericyte dysfunction in prostate cancer. This dysfunction is characterized by downregulation of some canonical pericyte markers (i.e., DES, CSPG4, and ACTA2) while maintaining the expression of others (i.e., PDGFRB, NOTCH3, and RGS5).

Coherent Backscatter Enhances Reflection Confocal Microscopy
When thin optically transparent specimens are grown on reflective substrates, contrast in reflection confocal microscopy is markedly enhanced. This enhanced contrast allows for the visualization of the thin filopodia and organelles contained within the ...
