Electron microscopy combined with certain histochemical studies on thin sections of the human retina has provided additional information concerning the mucinous material that occupies the intercellular space between the outer limiting membrane and the retinal pigment epithelium. The myoid region of the inner segments of hotli rods and cones contains an abundance of organelles associated with th...

OBJECTIVE Electroporation can be a highly efficient method for introducing the foreign genetic materials into the targeted cells for transient and/or permanent genetic modification. Considering the application of this technique as a very efficient method for drug, oligonucleotide, antibody and plasmid delivery for clinical applications and production of transgenic animals, the present study aim...

Cajal in 1889 described a network of anastomosing interstitial cells in the gut muscle coat and hypothesized that they were accessory primitive neurons exerting a direct regulatory effect on smooth muscle contraction. Reticularists (among them Golgi) sustained that this net was not an assembly of individual cells but a true syncytium and the foremost dissidents, such as Kolliker and Dogiel, dec...

The purpose of this study was to characterize testicular development in D'Man ram lambs, focusing primarily on androgen receptors (ARs) immunolocalization in the adenohypophysis and testis that is not still known in the D'Man ram lamb. Lambs (n = 12) were divided into four groups (three lambs per group). Adenohypophysis and testis were fixed and paraffin embedded; cross-section (3 μm) were stai...

The aim of this case report is to depict the varied spectrum clinical presentation two cases solitary myofibromas, one which was intra-osseous whilst other presented as a soft tissue lesion. This highlights same pathology. In most recent World Health Organisation (WHO) 2022 classification tumours, myofibroma included under category myopericytomas. Myopericytoma distinctive perivascular myoid ne...

BACKGROUND The disorders comprising human 'testicular dysgenesis syndrome' (TDS) may be increasing in incidence. TDS originates in fetal life but the mechanisms are not known, and discerning them requires an animal model. METHODS AND RESULTS The study investigated whether male rats exposed in utero to dibutyl phthalate [DBP; 500 mg/kg on gestational days (GD) 13-21] would provide a suitable m...
