Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a term used to refer to several kidney diseases (usually affecting both kidneys). Many of the diseases are characterised by inflammation either of the glomeruli or of the small blood vessels in the kidneys, hence the name, [1] but not all diseases necessarily have an inflammatory component.
Crescentin was discovered in 2009 by Christine Jacobs-Wagner in Caulobacter crescentus (now vibrioides), an aquatic bacterium which uses its crescent-shaped cells for enhanced motility. [1] The crescentin protein is located on the concave face of these cells and appears to be necessary for their shape, as mutants lacking the protein form rod ...
When the glomeruli of the kidney from a patient with symptoms of proliferative nephritis are examined under the microscope, crescents will be normally observed. When these are subjected to immunofluorescence, three patterns can be observed: linear, granular and negative (pauci-immune). [ 1 ]
In 1903, Nikolai K. Koltsov proposed that the shape of cells was determined by a network of tubules that he termed the cytoskeleton. The concept of a protein mosaic that dynamically coordinated cytoplasmic biochemistry was proposed by Rudolph Peters in 1929 [12] while the term (cytosquelette, in French) was first introduced by French embryologist Paul Wintrebert in 1931.
Fibrosis is similar to the process of scarring, in that both involve stimulated fibroblasts laying down connective tissue, including collagen and glycosaminoglycans.The process is initiated when immune cells such as macrophages release soluble factors that stimulate fibroblasts.
The hot dogs are then placed in cold water to cool completely, and in the case of skinless hot dogs, separate the cellulose casing from the finished frankfurter.
Serous demilunes, also known as Crescents of Giannuzzi or Demilunes of Heidenhain, are cellular formations in the shape of a half-moon (hence the name "demilune") on the mixed submandibular and sublingual salivary glands. [1] Serous demilunes are the serous cells at the distal end of mucous acini, the secretory endpieces of certain salivary ...
