Necrotic Core

A necrotic core is a central region of dead or irreversibly injured cells within a tissue, lesion, or mass, and its presence can indicate severe cellular stress and disease progression. It forms when blood supply cannot meet metabolic demands, causing oxygen and nutrient deprivation, loss of membrane integrity, and accumulation of cellular debris; inflammation may intensify the damage at its margins. Necrotic cores occur in solid tumors, ischemic injuries, and atherosclerotic plaques. Pathologists and clinicians assess them using histology and medical imaging to characterize disease, evaluate tissue viability, predict complications, and guide treatment decisions.

The Nucleosome Core Particle

Nucleosomes are the DNA-histone complex, where the DNA strand is wound around the histone core. The histone core is an octamer containing two copies of H2A, H2B, H3, and H4 histone proteins. The paradox Nucleosomes, paradoxically, perform two opposite functions simultaneously. On the one hand, their main responsibility is to protect the delicate DNA strands from physical damage and help achieve a higher compaction ratio. While on the other hand, they must allow polymerase enzymes to access DNA...

Necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) is the most severe gastrointestinal (GI) disease that often occurs in premature infants, especially very low birth weight infants, with high mortality and unclear pathogenesis. The cause of NEC may be related to inflammatory immune regulatory system abnormalities. An NEC animal model is an indispensable tool for NEC disease immune research. NEC animal models usually use C57BL/6J neonatal mice; BALB/c neonatal mice are rarely used. Related studies have shown that...
