Pericytes and renal mesangial cells are some examples of modified myofibroblast-like cells. Myofibroblasts may interfere with the propagation of electrical signals [5] controlling heart rhythm, [6] leading to arrhythmia in both patients who have suffered a heart attack and in foetuses. Ursodiol is a promising drug for this condition. [7]
Histopathologically, FMTs consist of neoplastic connective tissue cells which have differented into cells that have microscopic appearances resembling fibroblasts and/or myofibroblasts. The fibroblastic cells are characterized as spindle-shaped cells with inconspicuous nucleoli that express vimentin , an intracellular protein typically found in ...
IMT lesions typically consist of, and are defined by, myofibrolastic spindle cells, [7] i.e. specialized cells that are longer than wide, have a microscopic appearance that merges the appearances of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells (see myofibroblast), occur in normal as well as tumor tissues, and in normal tissues are commonly designated ...
Low-grade myofibroblastic sarcoma (LGMS) is a subtype of the malignant sarcomas. [1] As it is currently recognized, LGMS was first described as a rare, atypical myofibroblastic tumor (i.e. a tumor consisting of cells with the microscopic features of fibroblasts and smooth muscle cells) by Mentzel et al. in 1998. [2]
Meningeal cells are specialized fibroblast-like cells that surround the CNS and major blood vessels. They have been found to co-operate with astrocytes in the initial formation of the glia limitans during development and participate in its continued maintenance throughout life.
In total, the researchers found 16 plastic fibers and particles in the tissues. The smallest were slimmer than the diameter of a human red blood cell, which measures about 8 micrometers. The most ...
Parietal epithelial cell (PEC) Podocyte; Angioblast → Endothelial cell; Mesangial cell. Intraglomerular; Extraglomerular; Juxtaglomerular cell; Macula densa cell; Stromal cell → Interstitial cell → Telocytes; Kidney proximal tubule brush border cell; Kidney distal tubule cell; Connecting tubule cells; α-intercalated cell; β-intercalated ...
Additionally, over an 8-year period, from 2016 to 2024, the brain samples showed a 50% higher total of microplastics — which reflected a similar increase in the rate of microplastics found in ...
