An accessory spleen (AS), or splenunculus, is a small nodule of splenic tissue found outside of the spleen. Post-mortem examinations, also known as autopsies, are carried out to identify a cause of death, and to assess the state of the organs of the deceased. We present two incidental cases of splenunculi, one localized in greater omentum and a second one localized in the hilum of the spleen, d...

Introduction: Hematopoiesis is an on going process mammalian marrow system. A few cells from the nucleated cells of bone marrow are hematopoietic cells which include primary stem cells, precursor cells and progenitor cells. Primary stem cells and progenitor cells are able to produce colonies in culture medium (CFU-C) and irradiated mouse spleen (CFU-S). A hematopoietic cell is alive and act...

Sclerosing angiomatoid nodular transformation of the spleen: A case report and literature review

Background: The present study was designed to evaluate the homing potential of mouse embryonic stem cells (ESC) treated with erythropoietin (EPO) in hematopoietic organs such as spleen and liver after transplantation using morphological and immuno-histochemical techniques. Methods: Day-four embryoid body (EB)-derived cells were dissociated and re-plated in medium in the presence and absence of ...

dendritic cells (dcs) play an important role in induction of cellular immune responses. it seems that dcs that reside in different organs may be distinct in their ability to  induce immune responses. this study was done to address the differences between spleen and liver dcs in induction of immune response and/or tolerance. cd11c+  dcs were separated from the liver and spleen of c57bl/6 mice an...
