An electron-dense capsule has been postulated to be present around F. tularensis based primarily on electron microscopy, but this specific antigen has not been isolated or characterized.
Contrary to SCs, GCs lack a synovial cell lining and are constituted by a dense collagenous capsule surrounding a mucopolysaccharide-rich gelatinous fluid [1, 2, 3, 6], similar to that of SC but at a higher concentration [1].
In this case, a contractile force may be exhibited early by stimulated myofibroblasts resulting in contracture, which is then physically maintained by virtue of the deposition of a dense collagen capsule which retains the physically contracted state.
Many bacteria, such as S. pneumoniae, N. meningitidis and H. influenzae produce a dense carbohydrate capsule, which represents an optimal natural supply of polysaccharides needed for eliciting specific antibodies able to confer protection against those bacteria.
My homes have been improbably information-dense, like capsules for survival of nuclear war, or models of the interior of my own skull.
The outer surface of the red nucleus is formed by densely packed cells and furthermore is covered by a dense, myelinated fiber capsule; the inner surface of the rolled sheet is formed by loosely and irregularly arranged cells and is penetrated by large collateral fiber bundles of the superior cerebellar peduncle.
It is covered by a dense connective-tissue capsule, which sends fibres into the body of the thymus for support.
The kidney affected by CAN looks pale and fibrotic with a dense, thickened, adherent capsule.
The cosmonauts climb the stairs into their capsule, a dense early-morning mist hanging thick and lighted by dreamy yellow lamps.
Noninfected spleen was composed of white and red pulps surrounded by a capsule of dense connective tissue).
Visualised masses may be radiolucent with a thin, well-defined capsule, both radiolucent and dense with encapsulation, dense and circumscribed, or may have indistinct or spiculated margins.
