Uterine leiomyomas are the most common tumors found in the female genital tract. Leiomyomas have been reported to grow under the influence of ovarian steroids (estrogen and progesterone). Aberrations of wnt signaling, as well as SFRPs, can contribute to the neoplastic process. This led Fukuhara et al. to investigate...

Neurons in the olfactory system are unmyelinated and densely packed and thus the often small effects of ephaptic coupling are more easily seen.
