  2. Liver cytology - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_cytology

    Cytology is the name given to the branch of biology that deals with the formation, structure and functionality of the cells. [1] Liver cytology specializes in the study of liver cells. The main liver cells are called hepatocytes; however, there are other cells that can be observed in a liver sample such as Kupffer cells (macrophages). [2]

  3. Hepatocyte - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepatocyte

    For these purposes, hepatocytes are usually isolated from animal or human [8] whole liver or liver tissue by collagenase digestion, which is a two-step process. In the first step, the liver is placed in an isotonic solution, in which calcium is removed to disrupt cell-cell tight junctions by the use of a calcium chelating agent .

  4. CD4+/CD8+ ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD4+/CD8+_ratio

    In COVID-19 B cell, natural killer cell, and total lymphocyte counts decline, but both CD4 + and CD8 + cells decline to a far greater extent. [12] Low CD4 + predicted greater likelihood of intensive care unit admission, and CD4 + cell count was the only parameter that predicted length of time for viral RNA clearance.

  5. Terminologia Histologica - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminologia_Histologica

    The Terminologia Histologica (TH) is the controlled vocabulary for use in cytology and histology. [1] [2] In April 2011, Terminologia Histologica was published online [3] by the Federative International Programme on Anatomical Terminologies (FIPAT), the successor of FCAT. It was intended to replace Nomina Histologica.

  6. Extramedullary hematopoiesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extramedullary_hematopoiesis

    During fetal development, hematopoiesis occurs mainly in the fetal liver and in the spleen followed by localization to the bone marrow. [4] Hematopoiesis also takes place in many other tissues or organs such as the yolk sac, the aorta-gonad mesonephros (AGM) region, and lymph nodes. During development, vertebrates go through a primitive and a ...

  7. Serum-ascites albumin gradient - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serum-ascites_albumin_gradient

    A high gradient (> 1.1 g/dL, >11 g/L) indicates the ascites is due to portal hypertension, either liver related or non-liver related, with approximately 97% accuracy. [2] This is due to increased hydrostatic pressure within the blood vessels of the hepatic portal system , which in turn forces water into the peritoneal cavity but leaves proteins ...

  8. Staining - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Staining

    Papanicolaou staining, or PAP staining, was developed to replace fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) in hopes of decreasing staining times and cost without compromising quality. This stain is a frequently used method for examining cell samples from a variety of tissue types in various organs.
