Neural Regulation

Digestion begins with a cephalic phase that prepares the digestive system to receive food. When our brain processes visual or olfactory information about food, it triggers impulses in the cranial nerves innervating the salivary glands and stomach to prepare for food.

Chromatin Position Affects Gene Expression

24.7K
Chromatin is the massive complex of DNA and proteins packaged inside the nucleus. The complexity of chromatin folding and how it is packaged inside the nucleus greatly influences  access to genetic information. Generally, the nucleus' periphery is considered transcriptionally repressive, while the cell's interior is considered a transcriptionally active area. 
Topologically Associated Domains (TADs)
The 3-dimensional positioning of chromatin in the nucleus influences the...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Dermatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Carcinoma en cuirasse (CeC) is a rare manifestation of cutaneous breast cancer metastasis.
  • Limited guidelines exist for CeC diagnosis and treatment due to infrequent cases.
  • Distinguishing CeC from benign skin conditions can be challenging initially, but histopathology provides clear differentiation.

Observation:

  • A 62-year-old woman with recurrent triple-negative breast cancer presented with CeC on the chest wall.
  • The clinical presentation mimicked benign dermatological conditions, necessitating further investigation.

Findings:

  • Histopathological examination confirmed Carcinoma en cuirasse.
  • The patient's condition was recurrent triple-negative breast cancer with extensive chest wall involvement.

Implications:

  • This case underscores the importance of histopathological confirmation for diagnosing CeC.
  • Current treatment strategies for CeC focus on palliation, with ongoing research into effective modalities.
  • Further research is needed to establish consensus guidelines for CeC management.
