Lymphoid Neogenesis and Tertiary Lymphoid Organs in Transplanted Organs

The progressive organization of immune effectors into functional ectopic lymphoid structures, named tertiary lymphoid organs (TLO), has been observed in many conditions in which target antigens fail to be eliminated by the immune system. Not surprisingly, TLO have been recurrently identified in chronically rejected allografts. Although significant progress has been made over the last decades in...

Chordotonal organs

only human. Very recently, a senior research associate in my lab shared his experience of accidentally spilling a hazardous chemical on the floor and the small change he will make to contain such spills more safely in the future. I am grateful that he used his experience to help us all work smarter and safer. These two stories have been about lab mistakes, the last one will be about remembering...

Color Organs

The color organ is a musical instrument which produces visual stimuli such that it corresponds to the sound in a certain manner. Numerous attempts are known to have listeners experience synaesthetic effects. In these effects stimuli in one organ of sense are experienced in another. Several great names in history, such as Plato, Pythagoras and Aristotle have already been working on music-color c...

Polycystic Diseases in Visceral Organs

Primary cilia are nonmotile, microtubule-based, antenna-like organelles projecting from the apical surface of most mammalian cells. Elegant studies have established the importance of ciliary structure and function in signal transduction and the sensory roles of cilia in maintaining healthy cellular state. In particular, dysfunctional cilia have been implicated in a large number of diseases main...
