Studying breast cancer lung metastasis using a multi-compartment microfluidic device with a mimetic tumor-stroma interaction model by Bahareh Zarin, Laleh Rafiee, Sorosh Abdollahi, Maryam Vatani, Mohsen Hassani, Amir Sanati-Nezhad, Shaghayegh Haghjooy Javanmard

“…Background: Understanding the mechanisms underlying the metastasis of breast cancer cells to the lungs is challenging, and appropriate simulation of the tumor microenvironment with mimetic cancer-stroma crosstalk is essential. β4 integrin is known to contribute to triggering a variety of different signaling cues involved in the malignant phenotype of cancer but its role in organ-specific metastasis needs further study. …”

Evaluation of morphological changes and level of light scattering of the cornea in glaucoma patients by confocal corneal microscopy by G.B. Egorova, V.V. Averich

“…<br> <b>Results</b>: the examination of a group of patients with newly diagnosed glaucoma and uncompensated IOP revealed an increase in the intensity of light scattering in the epithelium and in all layers of the corneal stroma as compared with the norm (P &lt;0.05). The largest deviations in the maximum intensity of light scattering (69.5%) were observed in the posterior layers of the corneal stroma, in the epithelium (33.5%) and in the anterior stroma (38.7%).…”
