Thefibrous capis made up of intimal smooth muscle cells and connective tissue. Fibrous tissue has short T1, which results in bright signal on T1-weighted images and contrast enhancement. Rupture-prone plaques are very thin (65 to 150 µm), which is below the spatial resolution of MRI. In...
FD is a hamartomatous, non-neoplastic developmental defect of unknown origin in which normal bone is replaced by an aberrant proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with varying bony trabeculae [4, 5]. Von Recklinghausen first discovered “osteitis fibrosa generalisata” in 1891...
Previously, we showed that embryonic deletion of TGF-β type 2 receptor in mouse sclerotome resulted in defects in fibrous connective tissues in the spine. Here we investigated how TGF-β regulates expression of fibrous markers: Scleraxis, Fibromodulin and Adamtsl2. We showed that TGF-β stimul...
The function of the fibrous capsule, which encases the various internal organs, is the same for each individual organ or pair of organs. In the case of the kidneys for example, this strong capsule is composed of connective tissue and tightly contains each of the body's two kidneys. The fi...
The vascular channels in SFT lack a connective tissue layer and the endothelial cells merge with surrounding tumor cells. Fibrotic background and perivascular fibrosis are not seen [20]. HPC-like vasculature can be seen in other mesenchymal tumors including various soft tissue sarcomas [5,10]. Th...
There is a pattern of irregular woven bone intermixed with a connective tissue stroma. View LargeDownload A pathologic variant of fibrous dysplasia characterized by a distinct histologic pattern of "cementicles," small bony spicules resembling pieces of a puzzle, interspersed throughout the lesion (...
Radiographic imagesFibrous dysplasia is a developmental condition which normal bone is replaced by excessive proliferation of cellular fibrous connective tissue intermixed with irregular bony trabeculae. The predilection age is in the second decade. The radiographic characteristic is ground-glass pattern, no...
Collagen and elastin are the major constituents of connective tissue, both are crucial for locomotion. Collagen is the main constituent of bones, tendons and skin. Ligaments, lungs and aorta have elastin in a strong network with collagen (Ferraro, V. et al., 2016; Liu, D. et al., 2015;...
The unique feature of the cardiac aortic valve, compared to most other connective tissue, is that it does not require any metabolic activity or self-repair to provide good service life. Substitute requirements are then reduced to high mechanical fatigue resistance, with no imperative for cell ingro...
