Both astroglia and microglia show region-specific distribution in CNS and often maladapt to age-associated alterations within their niche. Studies on autopsied substantia nigra (SN) of Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and experimental models propose gliosis as a trigger for neuronal loss. Epidemiological studies propose an ethnic bias in PD prevalence, since Caucasians are more susceptible than non-whites.

Alveolar epithelial type II cells (AEII) synthesize, store, and recycle surfactant. Lipids and primarily hydrophobic surfactant proteins (SPs) are stored in lamellar bodies (Lbs) while the hydrophilic SPs and the precursors of hydrophobic SPs are stored in multivesicular bodies (mvb). ErbB4-receptor and its ligand neuregulin (NRG) are important regulators of fetal lung development and fetal surfactant synthesis.

Peripheral nerve injuries are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Peripheral nerve injuries most commonly result in serious problems affecting quality of life. The present study is designed to research the possible neuroprotective effects of Ankaferd blood stopper (ABS), platelet-rich plasma (PRP), and Momordica charantia (MC) on regeneration using unbiased stereological techniques.

Stereological study of organelle distribution in human mature oocytes.

Sci Rep

October 2024

Laboratory of Cell Biology, Department of Microscopy, ICBAS-Instituto de Ciências Biomédicas Abel Salazar, Universidade Do Porto, Rua Jorge Viterbo Ferreira, 228, 4050-313, Porto, Portugal.

The ultrastructure of human oocytes has been described only qualitatively. To offer a precise organelle spatial distribution and organelle volume during the main maturation stages, we previously conducted stereological studies on prophase-I (GV) and metaphase-I (MI) oocytes, and here we present results on metaphase-II (MII) oocytes. Five donor oocytes from different donors were processed for transmission electron microscopy, and quantification of organelle distribution was performed using point-counting stereology.

Objective: At the histological and ultramicroscopic level, compare biopsy specimens of donor heart under standard (up to 240 min) and extended (more than 240 min) periods of pharmaco-cold preservation.

Material And Methods: Biopsy specimens of the left atrium of donor hearts: group 1 - 8 samples after transportation with pharmaco-cold preservation of the graft in Bretschneider solution (Dr. Franz Köhler Chemie GmbH, Germany) up to 240 min, (Me 140), and group 2 - 5 samples after an extended pharmaco-cold period (more than 240 min; Me 375) were examined using light microscopy of semi-thin sections and transmission electron microscopy, followed by stereological and statistical analysis.
