The luminal surface ofepithelial cells lining the ductuli efferentes, ductus epididymidis and first portion of the vas deferens were studied with the scanning electron microscope. In ductuli efferentes obvious ciliated cells are identified and it is shown that on non-ciliated cells the short ...

The establishment of contacts between reaggregating, dissociated, bovine, odontogenic epithelial cells was studied in vitro using time-lapse cinephotomicrography and transmission and scanning electron microscopy. Brief contacts between fine cell processes were noted by cinephotomicrography when the cells we...
In other tissues, epithelial cells exhibit distinctive squamous, cuboidal, or columnar morphologies, and are polarized (with respect to a basement membrane) in either a single simple layer or in multiple stratified layers12. In the thymus, with the exception of a small proportion of conventional ...
Myoepithelial cells, which occur in many but not all exocrine glands, are usually quite conspicuous in salivary glands. Their contractile nature seems established beyond doubt, and the morphological similarities to smooth muscle cells are close enough to suggest that they contract by a similar, if ...
Fibroblasts and epithelial cell lines can be good choices for cell structure staining If you are studying thecytoskeleton, or other cellular structures in the cytoplasm like theGolgi complex,ER, ormitochondria, pick a cell line in which the ...
Histology is a branch of science that studies cells under a microscope. The use of histology is to study the morphology of the cells under a normal microscope as well as to understand the abnormalities in case of a disease. Answer and Explanation:1 ...
The epithelial nature of cultured cells was demonstrated by immunocytochemical staining for cytokeratin. Light and electron microscopy confirmed that morphology and polarity of the original epithelial cells were maintained in culture. Cultured efferent ductal epithelium was cuboidal in shape and maintained ...
1 reagents referenced in Junctional adhesion molecule 1 regulates epithelial cell morphology through effects on beta1 integrins and Rap1 activity.
Non-transformed, rat intestinal epithelial cells (IEC-6), and human intestinal colonic carcinoma cells (CACO-2) have both been used to study processes of epithelial cell differentiation. However, only CACO-2 cells have been described as spontaneously expressing phenotypic changes of differentiation in...
