...Carolyn K. Novaleski; Masanobu Mizuta; Bernard Rousseau Cell death is a regulated mechanism of eliminating cells to maintain tissue homeostasis. This study described 2 methodological procedures for evaluating cell death in the epithelium of immobilized, approximated and vibrated vocal folds from 12...

... for further morphological characterization. The integrity and tightness of the artificial epithelium were determined by measuring TEER. Results: The cultured epithelial cells were immunoreactive for cytokeratin and ZO-1. They showed dense microvilli on their apical membranes and expression of Na + /K...

... published transmission electron-microscopic paper [Cells Tissues Organs 2002;172:276–296]. During the estrous cycle the vaginal epithelium undergoes dramatic changes from a nonkeratinized to a highly keratinized epithelium. The predominant feature of proestrus with the beginning of keratinization...

... the estrous cycle the vaginal epithelium undergoes a number of specified morphological changes. This paper is the first to describe these changes on an ultrastructural level in a marsupial. Investigations in Monodelphis vagina reveal that a cyclic switch exists between a keratinized and a stratified...

...T. Osawa; X.-Y. Feng; T. Abe; H. Hori; Y. Nozaka The process of degeneration and regeneration of the lip mucosal epithelium after cryo treatment was observed by transmission electron microscopy. The epithelial cells were degenerated by the formation of ice crystals and subsequently detached from...

...Badia M. Abughrien; Michael A.P. Dore; Thomas A. McGeady; Eamonn Fitzpatrick The epithelium of the uterine tube consists of ciliated cells and secretory cells. Basal cells are a third cell type observed in tubal epithelium and they are located principally in the basal part of the epithelium...

.... The genital tubercles were trypsinized and microdissected to remove the epidermis and urethra from the mesenchyme. Recombinant specimens were created by combining genital tubercle mesenchyme with genital tubercle epithelium, bladder epithelium or tail epidermis. Tissues were grafted under the renal capsule...
