Article Abstract
Objective: Standardization of the pre-analytical phases of bone marrow trephine biopsy (BM) has yet to be achieved. In particular, several fixative and decalcifying reagents with specific benefits and drawbacks are described, but only a few direct comparisons are available. This study aims to test the most used fixation and decalcification protocols and evaluate their effect on tissue antigenicity via immunohistochemistry (IHC).
Methods: To avoid damaging and exhausting diagnostic BMs, we used "surrogate" BMs obtained from dedicated grossing of a non-pathologic spleen. Eleven fixation and decalcification protocols were tested, and their performances were evaluated via IHC protein expression of 25 biomarkers.
Results: The IHC yield varied based on the fixative and decalcifying reagents, but the overall quality is mainly related to the fixative rather than the decalcifying phases. The protocol with the lowest number of inadequate IHC stains (5 out of 25) combined commercially available B5-based fixative and EDTA-based decalcifying reagents. The worst metrics (8 inadequate IHC stains out of 25) were obtained with a protocol based on "in-house" B5-based and EDTA-based reagents.
Conclusions: We compared different protocols and found the best combination of fixative and decalcifying reagents for accurate IHC staining. These findings can improve bone marrow sample handling and standardization in pathology laboratories.

The dental pulp undergoes several histological changes with age. These include a reduction in the number of cells and blood vessels, resulting in a decreased capacity for regeneration and repair. Furthermore, there is an increase in collagen fiber density and the formation of secondary dentin, which reduces the volume of the pulp chamber.

This chapter is a revised version of the first Edition which aims to describe a method used to evaluate gene expression and microRNAs (miRNAs) in bone cells or bone tissue using Reverse transcription and quantitative Polymerase Chain Reaction (RT-qPCR), and methods to assess chromogenic in situ hybridization (CISH) on Formalin Fixed Paraffin Embedded (FFPE) mouse bone tissue to detect both DNA and mRNA transcripts using the double digoxigenin (DIG) locked nucleic acid (LNA™) probes or using RNAscope technology.

Recent developments in spatial omics are revolutionizing our understanding of tissue structure organization and their deregulation in disease. Here, we present a strategy for capturing chromatin histone modification signatures across tissue sections by taking advantage of a double-barcoded DNA arrays design compatible with in situ Protein A-transposase Tn5 tagmentation. This approach has been validated in presence of fresh-frozen mouse brain tissues but also in decalcified formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) mouse paw samples, in which either the histone modification H3K4 trimethylation or H3K27 acetylation has been used as proxy for interrogating active promoter signatures.

Aims: Demonstration of clonality is important in the diagnosis of a T cell neoplasm. Allelic exclusion of T cell receptor beta constant chains (TRBC) ensures restricted TRBC1 or 2 expression in T cells. Here, we extend the applicability of TRBC1 immunohistochemistry (IHC) in assessing T cell clonality in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) tissue sections, with a particular focus on peripheral T cell lymphoma and lymphoblastic lymphoma/leukaemia.
