The two principal functions of ovarian follicles are developmental and endocrine. The cumulus cells surrounding the oocyte are specialized to serve the development of the oocyte and steroidogenesis is a principal role of mural granulosa cells that line the follicle wall. The findings in this report demonstrate that oocytectomy or treatment with an inhibitor of SMAD2/3 activation results in decr...

AIMS To report further cases of solitary necrotic nodule of the liver and to study its nature. METHODS Seven nodules were retrieved from 4000 necropsy and surgical liver specimens coming to light over the past five years. All of them satisfied the diagnostic criteria of solitary necrotic nodule: a solid lesion with a central necrotic core and a hyalinised fibrotic capsule containing elastic f...

Defective paracrine Transforming Growth Factor-β (TGF-β) signaling between endothelial cells and the neighboring mural cells have been thought to lead to the development of vascular lesions that are characteristic of Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia (HHT). This review highlights recent progress in our understanding of TGF-β signaling in mural cell recruitment and vessel stabilization and h...

Increase in cell number has been compared with mitotic activity in the polar and mural trophectoderm and in the inner cell mass (ICM) of mouse blastocysts. The results indicate that whereas ICM cells divide at a rate which is compatible with the rate of increase of ICM cell number, polar trophectoderm cells divide faster and mural trophectoderm cells slower than can account for their own rates ...

A 46-year-old man was referred to our hospital for treatment, complaining of swelling on the right mandibular molar region. Radiographic examination revealed a well defined multilocular radiolucent lesion with root resorption of right lower anteriors and molars. Following biopsy, a diagnosis of unicystic ameloblastoma of mural type was made and hemimandibulectomy was performed under general ane...

A Prehistoric Mural in Spain Depicting Neurotropic Psilocybe Mushrooms?
