Gallbladder In Situ

Gallbladder in situ refers to examining the gallbladder in its native anatomical position, preserving its connections with the liver, bile ducts, surrounding tissues, and local microenvironment. Keeping the organ in place maintains tissue architecture, bile exposure, vascular relationships, and neighboring cell interactions that can be altered by excision or extensive processing. In cancer research, this approach supports analysis of tumor initiation, growth, invasion, and interactions with adjacent tissues under more physiologically relevant conditions. It can improve interpretation of histology, imaging, and molecular findings, helping researchers study how gallbladder tumors develop and spread within their natural anatomical context.

The gallbladder is a small, pear-shaped organ that plays a crucial role in our digestive system. Measuring about 10 cm in length, it is comparable in size to a kiwi fruit and is located in a hollow area on the lower surface of the liver. The gallbladder's primary function is to store and concentrate bile, a fluid produced by the liver that aids in digestion. The gallbladder's anatomy consists of three regions: the fundus, body, and neck. Extending from the neck, the cystic duct joins the common...

Diseases of the Liver and Gallbladder

2024

Liver and gallbladder diseases are a significant health concern, with prominent conditions including cirrhosis, hepatitis, non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), and gallstones. Jaundice is a common manifestation of liver and biliary disease. Cirrhosis is characterized by the scarring of hepatic lobules in the liver, which are replaced by fibrous tissue, affecting the liver's normal functioning. NAFLD, on the other hand, is caused by an excessive build-up of fat in the liver, not related to...

Whole-Mount In Situ Hybridization

Whole-mount in situ hybridization (WMISH) is a common technique used for visualizing the location of expressed RNAs in embryos. In this process, synthetically produced RNA probes are first complementarily bound, or "hybridized," to the transcripts of target genes. Immunohistochemistry or fluorescence is then used to detect these RNA hybrids, revealing spatial and temporal patterns of gene expression. Unlike traditional in situ hybridization techniques, which require thin tissue sections whose...

Methods of Ex Situ and In Situ Investigations of Structural Transformations: The Case of Crystallization of Metallic Glasses

0 Views •

2018

Here, we present a protocol to describe ex situ and in situ investigations of structural transformations in metallic glasses. We employed nuclear-based analytical methods which inspect hyperfine interactions. We demonstrate the applicability of Mössbauer spectrometry and nuclear forward scattering of synchrotron radiation during temperature-driven experiments.
