In lobular capillary hemangioma (LCH), misnamed pyogenic granuloma, only sprouting angiogenesis (SA) has been considered. We assess the occurrence of intussusceptive angiogenesis (IA) in LCH and whether IA determines the specific and other focal patterns in the lesion. For this purpose, we study specimens of 120 cases of LCH, using semithin sections (in 10), immunohistochemistry, and confocal microscopy (in 20). In addition to SA, the results in LCH showed (1) intussusceptive phenomena, including pillars/folds and associated vessel loops, which encircled interstitial tissue structures (ITSs). (2) Two types of evolved loops depending on interendothelial contacts from opposite walls: (a) numerous interendothelial contacts, alternating with capillary-sized lumens (main capillary pattern of the lesion) and (b) few interendothelial contacts, wide open lumens, and intravascular transport of pillars/folds, which were arranged linearly, forming septa (focal sinusoidal-like pattern) or were irregularly grouped (focal intravascular papillary endothelial hyperplasia, IPEH-like pattern). In conclusion, we demonstrate that IA participates in synergistic interaction with SA in LCH development and that the prevalence of specific intussusceptive phenomena determines the predominant capillary pattern and associated sinusoidal hemangioma-like and IPEH-like patterns in the lesion, which suggest a role of IA as conditioner of vessel tumour/pseudo-tumour morphology.

The mechanisms responsible for the growth and development of vascular beds in intestinal villi during postnatal ontogenesis remain enigmatic. For instance, according to the current consensus, in the sprouting type of angiogenesis, there is no blood flow in the rising capillary sprout. However, it is known that biomechanical forces resulting from blood flow play a key role in these processes.

Objective: Ultrasound-targeted microbubble cavitation (UTMC)-mediated blood-brain barrier (BBB) opening is being explored as a method to increase drug delivery to the brain. This strategy has progressed to clinical trials for various neurological disorders, but the underlying cellular mechanisms are incompletely understood. In the study described here, a contact co-culture transwell model of the BBB was developed that can be used to determine the signaling cascade leading to increased BBB permeability.

Patients And Methods: Materials and methods: The scientific experiment was conducted on 20 white non-linear rats of reproductive age (4-5 months) weighing from 220 to 280 g, which were divided into two groups (10 rats each). Depending on the term of decapitation, the experimental animals were divided into two groups (10 rats in each group).

Being the largest lymphatic organ in the body, the spleen also constantly controls the quality of red blood cells (RBCs) in circulation through its two major filtration components, namely interendothelial slits (IES) and red pulp macrophages. In contrast to the extensive studies in understanding the filtration function of IES, fewer works investigate how the splenic macrophages retain the aged and diseased RBCs, i.e.

Article Synopsis
- The spleen plays a crucial role in filtering and managing the quality of red blood cells (RBCs) through components like interendothelial slits and red pulp macrophages, but less research has been done on how macrophages capture aged and diseased RBCs, especially in sickle cell disease (SCD).
- A computational study coupled with experiments was conducted to analyze how various factors, such as blood flow, RBC aggregation, oxygen levels, and RBC shape, affect the retention of sickle RBCs by macrophages.
- Results indicated that hypoxia significantly increases sickle RBC adhesion to macrophages, boosting retention by up to five times and could contribute to RBC congestion in the spleen; additionally, increased blood velocity
