A spatula for collecting cancer cells outside and within the cervix canal includes a scraper head having a laterally extending outer cervix engaging leg projecting from one side of the head. The head further includes a cervical canal entering finger-like portion projecting longitudinally beyond the ...
The epithelium is a type of tissue that covers many different surfaces on the inside and the outside of your body. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together and serve as a barrier between the interior and the exterior of your body. You have countless epithelial cells throughout your body t...
The female reproductive system consists of the ovaries,oviducts(fallopian tubes), uterus, cervix, and vagina (Figure 1). The ovary consists ofoocyteswithin follicles (containingthecal cellsjust outside andgranulosa cellsjust inside the follicle) where the oocytes are located and develop, and support...

A dietary compound found in herbal medicines such as holy basil, as well as in the natural waxy coating of fruits like apples, ursolic acid has extraordinary anti-cancer potential. Ursolic acid has been shown to treat cancers of the skin, colon, breast, lung, cervix, prostate, esophagus, an...
(Fig.3d). We compared the different cancer histologies and interestingly found a significant and progressive decrease of the WID-OC-index according to the longitudinal anatomy of the Müllerian Duct [i.e. fallopian tube (serous), endometrium (clear cell and endometrioid), and endocervix (...
But zur Hausen, who worked with the HeLa cell line, found that the genes of certain strains of the virus, including HPV16 and HPV18, maneuvered themselves inside the cells of the cervix and caused abnormal cell replication. Years before zur Hausen’s success, scientists had been working toward...
Main Outcome Measure Percentage of microchimeric cells expressing nonhematopoietic markers. Results A total of 701 male (XY+) microchimeric cells were identified (mean [SD], 227 [128] XY+ cells per million maternal cells). In maternal epithelial tissues (thyroid, cervix, intestine, and gallbladd...
Cervical (uterine cervix) cancer, an increasing threat to women worldwide, is considered as a heterogeneous group of neoplasms originating from cells in the cervix uteri. The clinical effects of cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiation therapy vary widely from one patient to the next [...
[131]. This finding suggests a possible role for pDCs in local IFN-I production and virus control during HPV infection of genital mucosae. However, this hypothesis remains to be formally tested. In the endocervix of SIV-infected macaques, pDCs were recruited very early after virus inoculation ...
