Medical records 

Hospital records​ are valuable sources of clinical data that can support research on the effects of chemotherapy on neurogenesis. These records provide detailed patient information, including chemotherapy regimens, dosages, treatment durations, and clinical outcomes. By reviewing patient histories, researchers can identify individuals who have undergone specific chemotherapy treatments and correlate these data with neurological outcomes or biomarkers related to neurogenesis.

Using hospital records ensures access to real-world clinical information, enhances the relevance of the research findings, and allows comparison between treated and control groups. Strict ethical standards and patient confidentiality must be maintained, with appropriate approvals obtained from institutional review boards or ethics committees before accessing or using patient data.

Histopathology Lab 
Tissue processing, histological staining, and immunohistochemistry were carried out in the Histopathology Laboratory, Faculty of Medicine, University of Jordan. The laboratory is equipped with standard histological equipment including tissue processors, paraffin embedding stations, microtomes, and staining units. Processed tissue sections were examined under a light microscope equipped with a high-resolution digital camera for documentation and image analysis.

Automated tissue proceesing 
Automated tissue processing is a crucial step in histopathology that prepares biological tissue samples for microscopic examination. The process involves a series of chemical treatments performed automatically by a tissue processor to preserve tissue structure and prepare it for sectioning and staining. Proper tissue processing is essential for producing thin, well-preserved tissue sections that allow accurate histological diagnosis.

 Electron Microscope 
An electron microscope is an advanced imaging instrument that uses a beam of electrons instead of light to produce highly magnified and detailed images of biological and material specimens.​Electron microscopes are essential tools in histology, pathology, cell biology, and materials science for studying ultrastructural details that cannot be seen with a light microscope.

Water bath and microtone for tissue processing 

Water Bath:
A water bath is an essential tool used during the sectioning stage of tissue processing.​​​
Microtome:
A microtome is a precision instrument used to cut extremely thin sections of paraffin-embedded tissue, typically 3–5 µm thick.
Together, the microtome and water bath play a vital role in preparing high-quality tissue sections for histopathological analysis.​
