The most important reef of the Mediterranean is Coralligène (Coralligenous = C), including several types calcareous algal-invertebrate build-ups growing in normal open marine conditions. We analyzed and compared two C samples from Ligurian Sea developed different environmental settings: 1) off Portofino on a rocky cliff, at depth about 40 m 2) front Bogliasco, sub-horizontal substrate 10 m. max...

Glomerular structure has been studied in tissues derived from normal living and cadaver kidney donors. Values obtained in such subjects were considered interchangeable and have been used to define the normal parameters when evaluating the effects of various renal diseases. The present study evaluated glomerular structure by light and electron microscopy in 83 living and 53 cadaver kidney donors...
