Article Abstract
Histology or microanatomy is the science of the structure and function of tissues and organs in metazoic organisms at the cellular level. By definition, histology is dependent on a variety of microscope techniques, usually light or more recently virtual, as well as electron microscopy. Since its inception more than two centuries ago, histology has been an integral component of biomedical education, specifically for medical, dental, and veterinary students. Traditionally, histology has been taught in two sequential phases, first a didactic transfer of information to learners and secondly a laboratory segment in which students develop the skill of analyzing micrographic images. In this chapter, the authors provide an overview of how histology is currently taught in different global regions. This overview also outlines which educational strategies and technologies are used, and how the local and cultural environment influences the histology education of medical and other students in different countries and continents. Also discussed are current trends that change the teaching of this basic science subject.

Immunoelectron Microscopy (IEM) is a technique that combines specific immunolabeling with high-resolution electron microscopic imaging to achieve precise spatial localization of biomolecules at the subcellular scale (< 10 nm) by using high-electron-density markers such as colloidal gold and quantum dots. As a core tool for analyzing the distribution of proteins, organelle interactions, and localization of disease pathology markers, it has irreplaceable value, especially in synapse research, pathogen-host interaction mechanism, and tumor microenvironment analysis. According to the differences in labeling sequence and sample processing, the IEM technology system can be divided into two categories: the first is pre-embedding labeling, which optimizes the labeling efficiency through the pre-exposure of antigenic epitopes and is especially suitable for the detection of low-abundance and sensitive antigens; the second is post-embedding labeling, which relies on the low-temperature resin embedding (e.

Circular RNA (circRNA) has been confirmed to be a regulator for septic acute kidney injury (AKI). It is reported that circ_0049271 has abnormal expression in AKI patients, but its role and mechanism in septic AKI remain unclear. Lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated HK-2 cells were served as the cellular model of sepsis-associated AKI (SAKI).

Background: Developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEEs) comprise a diverse range of disorders that can arise from both genetic and non-genetic causes. Genetic DEEs are linked to pathogenic variants in various genes with different molecular functions. The wide clinical and genetic variability found in DEEs poses a considerable challenge for accurate diagnosis even with the use of comprehensive diagnostic approaches such as whole genome sequencing (WGS).

Background: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is the most devastating disease and it necessitates therapeutic intervention for its effective management. Human Glucagon-like peptide-1 (HuGLP-1) is the potential candidate in the treatment of T2DM; however, it limits its utilization owing to its solubility and stability issues.
Aims: The current investigation aims to develop HuGLP-1-loaded bilosomes as a novel strategy for managing T2DM.
