Apocrine carcinoma of the breast is a rare, primary breast cancer characterized by the apocrine morphology, estrogen receptor-negative and androgen receptor-positive profile with a frequent overexpression of Her-2/neu protein. The frequent presence of PIK3CA mutations […]
Trefoil factor family (TFF) peptides have been investigated for the last 35 years, mostly in the context of gastrointestinal mucosa, where they are secreted the most. They exert a protective role in the mucosa by […]
Evidence from animal and human research suggests that the encephalic opioid system is involved in drug addiction. In this study, we recruited 763 unrelated people (465 women, 298 men). Participants filled a 35-item questionnaire on […]
This article reviews in detail the superficial brachiomedian artery (arteria brachiomediana superficialis), a very rare variant of the main arterial trunks of the upper limb. It branches either from the axillary artery or the brachial […]
We are pleased to present you a new tool in our communication toolbox: the BJBMS Blog (https://blog.bjbms.org). The Blog is intended to enrich the communication between the authors, editors, broad biomedical and non-biomedical community and […]
Biomaterials and biotechnology are increasing becoming an important area in modern medicine. The main aim in this area is the development of materials, which are biocompatible to normal tissue. Tissue-implant interactions with molecular, biological and […]
![Gross view of mouse male urogenital organs. (A) Anterior and (C) posterior aspects of the urogenital tract dissected from an adult male mouse, as seen under the dissecting microscope. Urethra (U), Seminal vesicles (SV); (B) and (D) show the same images with dashed and dotted lines delineating the ventral (VP), lateral (LP), anterior (AP), and dorsal (DP) prostate lobes; (E) Anterolateral view (left side) of the prostate lobes relative to the bladder, seminal vesicles, and urethra (Modified from: Sugimura, Y., et al.

Despite substantial similarities in embryological, cellular and molecular biology features, human and mouse prostates differ in organ morphology and tissue architecture. Thus, a clear understanding of the anatomy and histology of the mouse prostate is […]
Pancreatic islet α-cell tumours that overexpress proglucagon are typically associated with the glucagonoma syndrome, a rare disease entity characterised by necrolytic migratory erythema, impaired glucose tolerance, thromboembolic complications and psychiatric disturbances. Paraneoplastic phenomena associated with […]
Cerebral autosomal dominant arteriopathy with subcortical infarcts and leucoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is an autosomal dominant vascular disorder. Diagnosis and follow-up in patients with CADASIL are based mainly on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI shows white matter […]
Reactive stromal changes that occur in different human cancers might play a role in local tumor spreading and progression. Studies done on various human cancers have shown activated stromal cell phenotypes, modified extracellular matrix (ECM) […]
