Keloids were described by Egyptian surgeons around 1700 BCE, recorded in the Smith papyrus, regarding surgical techniques. [citation needed] Baron Jean-Louis Alibert (1768–1837) identified the keloid as an entity in 1806. [citation needed] He called them cancroïde, later changing the name to chéloïde to avoid

Picture of a granuloma (without necrosis) as seen through a microscope on a glass slide: The tissue on the slide is stained with two standard dyes (hematoxylin: blue, eosin: pink) to make it visible. The granuloma in this picture was found in a lymph node of a patient with a Mycobacterium avium infection. Specialty: Pathology
The symptoms of CJD are caused by the progressive death of the brain's nerve cells, which are associated with the build-up of abnormal prion proteins forming in the brain. When brain tissue from a person with CJD is examined under a microscope, many tiny holes can be seen where the nerve cells have died. Parts of the brain may resemble a sponge ...
A myeloid sarcoma (chloroma, granulocytic sarcoma, [1]: 744 extramedullary myeloid tumor) is a solid tumor composed of immature white blood cells [2] called myeloblasts. A chloroma is an extramedullary manifestation of acute myeloid leukemia ; in other words, it is a solid collection of leukemic cells occurring outside of the bone marrow .
The arachnoid mater is interposed between the two other meninges, the more superficial (closer to the surface) and much thicker dura mater and the deeper pia mater, from which it is separated by the subarachnoid space. The delicate arachnoid layer is not attached to the inside of the dura but against it, and surrounds the brain and spinal cord.
In contrast antibody to the close relative of NeuN/Fox-3, Fox-2, is shown in red. Fox-2 antibody stains Purkinje neurons and Golgi cell which are not recognized by the NeuN/Fox-3 antibody. The Purkinje cells form a layer above the much more abundant granule cells, and an occasional Golgi cell, also positive for Fox-2 but negative for NeuN/Fox-3 ...
They take various forms (with various names) throughout the body (e.g., histiocytes, Kupffer cells, alveolar macrophages, microglia, and others), but all are part of the mononuclear phagocyte system. Besides phagocytosis, they play a critical role in nonspecific defense ( innate immunity ) and also help initiate specific defense mechanisms ...
