The marginal zone, in pregastrulating chick blastoderms, has been defined as the intermediate ring between the epiblast proper and the most external region, the area opaca (Spratt & Haas, 1960). Azar & Eyal-Giladi (1979) have shown that the marginal zone of a stage XIII blastoderm has the capacity of regenerating an inductive layer which when in contact with a competent stage XIII epiblast can ...

A remarkable number of microbial cells have been enumerated within subseafloor sediments, suggesting a biological impact on geochemical processes in the subseafloor habitat. However, the metabolically active fraction of these populations is largely uncharacterized. In this study, an RNA-based molecular approach was used to determine the diversity and community structure of metabolically active ...

Migrating neurons are thought to travel from their origin near the ventricle to distant territories along stereotypical pathways by detecting environmental cues in the extracellular milieu. Here, we report a novel mode of neuronal migration that challenges this view. We performed long-term, time-lapse imaging of medial ganglionic eminence (MGE)-derived cortical interneurons tangentially migrati...

Extranodal marginal zone lymphoma of mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue (MALT lymphoma) is an extranodal lymphoma composed of morphologically heterogeneous small B-cells including marginal zone (centrocyte-like) cells, cells resembling monocytoid cells, small lymphocytes, and scattered immunoblasts and centroblast-like cells. There is plasma cell differentiation in a proportion of the cases. The...

We present seven cases of mantle cell lymphoma with morphological features of marginal-zone lymphoma. Of particular interest, four of the patients had predominant involvement of the gastrointestinal tract. All cases displayed the translocation t(11;14)(q13;q32) and expressed cyclin D1. Cytogenetic analysis revealed trisomy 3 in one case and somatic hypermutation of immunoglobulin heavy genes co...

The splenic marginal zone is a unique compartment that separates the lymphoid white pulp from the surrounding red pulp. Due to the orchestration of specialized macrophages and B cells flanking a marginal sinus, this compartment plays an important role in uptake of blood-borne Ags and it gives the spleen its specialized function in antibacterial immunity. In this study, we demonstrate that both ...

Primary cutaneous marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (PCMZL) is included as one of the major types of primary cutaneous B-cell lymphoma in the revised World Health Organization-European Organization for Research and Treatment of Cancer classification. Clinically, PCMZL is an indolent disease and has an excellent prognosis. PCMZL is composed of a polymorphous infiltrate that includes centrocyte-like,...

The region of sea ice near the edge of the sea ice pack is known as the marginal ice zone (MIZ), and its dynamics are complicated by ocean wave interaction with the ice cover, strong gradients in the atmosphere and ocean and variations in sea ice rheology. This paper focuses on the role of sea ice rheology in determining the dynamics of the MIZ. Here, sea ice is treated as a granular material w...

OBJECTIVES Splenic marginal zone lymphoma (SMZL) is a rare indolent B-cell lymphoma with variable prognosis. As a result, there is sparse knowledge on the role of splenectomy and best management approaches. We aim to explore management strategies and outcomes amongst the cohort of SMZL patients at our centre. METHOD A retrospective review of all splenectomies performed at a tertiary referral ...
