Clinical manifestations of SARS-CoV-2 infection range from mild to critically severe. The aim of the study was to highlight the immunological events associated with the severity of SARS-CoV-2 infection, with an emphasis on cells of innate immunity. Thirty COVID-19 patients with mild/moderate symptoms and 27 patients with severe/critically severe symptoms were recruited from the Clinical Center of Kragujevac during April 2020.

Those morphological features are not described in detail yet from immunohistochemical and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) aspects, so the aim of this study was to investigate the smooth muscle cells (SMCs) phenotype in aortic intimal thickening, presence of inflammatory cells and contents of intimal and medial, and adventitial connective tissue. We examined samples of coarctation segments excised at surgery after end-to-end anastomosis from 30 patients, ages from 14 days to three months, histochemicaly, immunocytochemically and by TEM.

Study Design: Kidney specimens from 10 rats were processed for confocal microscopy. Nerve fibers were stained with anti-CGRP and anti-TH antibodies and image stacks were collected.
Background/aim: Nucleus accumbens is a part of the ventral striatum also known as a drug active brain region, especially related with drug addiction. The aim of the study was to investigate the Golgi morphology of the nucleus accumbens neurons.
Methods: The study was performed on the frontal and sagittal sections of 15 human brains by the Golgi Kopsch method.
