The heterogeneity of cell morphology characteristics of some colonies of human fetal kidney and amniotic fluid cells has been analyzed by biochemical and cell-cloning techniques. All the presumed subclones derived from dimorphic colonies were initially epithelioid, but some cells became fibroblastlike as the cell density increased. To determine if the observed heterogeneity occurred within clon...

AlCoCrFeNiTi high-entropy alloys (HEAs) have attracted much attention because of their excellent mechanical properties. Here, we systemically studied the effects elements on microstructure and properties HEAs. The results showed that phase composition morphology are significantly affected by elements. With increasing Ti addition, lattice parameters solid solution increased slightly, distortion ...

Introduction: Chondrocytes within articular cartilage are surrounded by a complex pericellular microenvironment which, together with the cell, is termed the chondron. The mechanical and physicochemical properties of the chondron matrix will undoubtedly influence the metabolism of the chondrocytes and their response to joint loading. The aim of the present study was to examine cell morphology in...
