Invasive lobular breast cancer (ILC) is the most common special histological type of (BC). This review recapitulates developments in histomorphologic assessment ILC from its beginnings with seminal work Foote and Stewart, which was published 1941, until today. We discuss different concepts their implications. These include (i) BC arising mammary lobules, (ii) growing dissociated cells single fi...

Knowledge of sex differences in the histomorphology of the human carotid body (HCB) is important in explaining the differences in respiratory function, responses and disease predisposition.1,2 Functionally, there are sex differences in the ventilatory response to hypoxia (VRH) and hypercapnia,1,3‒5 response in ventilatory control under acute or chronic hypoxic stimulation;6 morphine induced ven...

BACKGROUND/AIM Plumbago indica (PI) L. and its active constituent, plumbagin, has been traditionally claimed for several pharmacological activities; however, there is little information regarding their toxicity. The present study aims to examine the effects of plumbagin and PI extract (PI) on hepatic histomorphology and antioxidative system in mice. MATERIALS AND METHODS Adult male intelligen...

A novel chitosan-γPGA polyelectrolyte complex hydrogel (C-PGA) has been developed and proven to be an effective dressing for wound healing. The purpose of this study was to evaluate if C-PGA could promote new bone formation in the alveolar socket following tooth extraction. An animal model was proposed using radiography and histomorphology simultaneously to analyze the symmetrical sections of W...
