Purpose of the study. Is to describe the experience of creating a collection of biological images of tumor tissues and biomaterials, which are control samples, for scientific research in morphology and molecular oncology.Materials and methods. We studied the molecular markers of cell cycle regulation, apoptosis, oncogenesis and angiogenesis, the expression of proteins that regulate inflammation and tumor infiltrate cells in biocollections of verified tumors of common localizations: e. g. thyroid cancer, colorectal cancer, breast cancer, prostate adenocarcinoma, endometrioid adenocarcinoma. Also, tissue fragments with normal structure or non-tumor pathology (autoimmune thyroiditis, adenomatous and thyrotoxic goiter, benign formations of the colon, fibrocystic disease of the mammary glands, benign prostatic hyperplasia, endometrial hyperplasia) were used as control samples or comparison groups. The total number of tissue samples is n = 7000.Results. It is reasonable to gather the collection in a pathomorphological laboratory according to the profile of the medical institutions, which has a sufficient volume of incoming target material and specialized morphologists to verify tumors of a given localization. It is necessary to consider the regional and ethnic specifics of the population, which determines the sampling and mutational load. The laboratory must initiate an addition to the informed consent of patients about the possibility of conducting morphological and molecular genetic studies for scientific purposes and publishing their results in a depersonalized form for the development of new elaborations, when signing the contracts with legal entities and individuals and when serving patients within an institution. When working with biocollections, it has to consider having registers of tissue biomaterials of target disorder groups of main localizations with downloading by year from an accessible information system, consider external factors affecting the database (changes in clinical recommendations and classifications, the population of patients served, pandemics and other significant events). The standard of the preanalytical stage, data collection, development of protocols for analytical molecular genetic studies and their evaluation, the utilization of the capabilities of working with reagents for scientific tasks and modeling experiments on laboratory animals are crucial.Conclusion. The formed biocollection made it possible to carry out a number of initiative and funded domestic and international scientific projects at the request of clinicians and fundamental researchers, as well as to improve the quality standards of morphological and molecular genetic oncology diagnostics. Biobanking makes the pathological archive more accessible for review and use, significantly expanding its scientific and practical potential. Scientific and medical research do not conflict and can be used within the same laboratory.

During its existence, electron microscopy has become one of the reference methods for assessing the structural and functional state of cells, tissues and organs, and an extensive evidence base has been formed that allows its use in the creation and formation of a biobank. The selection of sources for the literature review was carried out using keywords based on publications over the past 20 years. The publications presented in the review were selected by searching the eLIBRARY.RU, PubMed and Scopus databases. Based on foreign and domestic experience in the work of biobanks, we can distinguish four areas that determine the effectiveness of the use of electron microscopy studies as a component of its work. Firstly, it is control of microbiological contamination of a biological sample. The effectiveness of electron microscopy in detecting contamination of a biological sample with bacteria, fungi and viruses is comparable to the effectiveness of classical microbiological techniques. Secondly, it is a diagnostic tool that allows you to identify or confirm the presence in a sample of a pathogenetic process that is of interest for biobanking: tumor growth, atherosclerotic vessel damage, etc. Thirdly, it is quality control for cryopreservation of samples. A wide range of morphological characteristics of the ultramicroscopic structure of cells and microanatomical formations makes it possible to characterize the quality of cryopreservation and quantify the degree of damage, which contributes to the unification and standardization of biobanking. Transmission electron microscopy is the most informative in this matter. Fourthly, this is the basis for digitalization of the results obtained and the formation of an interdisciplinary biobank repository, which allows the use of “big date” technologies for fundamental research. The compliance of the biobank profile with the economic, scientific and industrial characteristics of the infrastructure of the industry or region is of great importance. Electron microscopy data are successfully combined with the results of molecular studies, which allows the formation of interdisciplinary metadata databases suitable for interregional and interdisciplinary scientific integrations. The latter makes it possible to use electron microscopy data to solve a wide range of applied and interdisciplinary problems. The above allows us to consider scanning and transmission microscopy methods as one of the key methods in the development of biobanking in the region.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
