In the feathers of any guillemot are a host of chemical compounds that reveal aspects of its physiology, and one such compound -- a naturally occurring carbon isotope called delta 13C -- gives, in effect, a snapshot of what that bird has eaten from the carbon-based food chain in the past six months, just as a human autopsy can reveal the deceased's last meal.
Paraffinembedded human autopsy tissue from the occipital lobe (National NeuroAIDS Tissue Consortium).
Human autopsy dura was studied by immunocytochemistry for mast cells and for the trigeminal neuropeptides, SP and CGRP.
Pathological studies of human autopsy or biopsy specimens have documented the importance of RAGE in atherosclerosis and peripheral artery disease.
Recent insights on macrophage phenotype and persistent inflammation in the brain in HIV-associated neurocognitive disorder from immunohistochemical studies on human autopsy tissue will be examined.
In animal and human autopsy studies of sepsis, CD4+ splenocytes either undergo apoptosis or are polarized to the Th2 effector subtype.
Evidence from multiple studies in experimental glaucoma models, human autopsy cases and neuroimaging studies point to the degeneration of neurons in the lateral geniculate nucleus, a subcortical hub of functional connectivity between the eye and the visual cortex.
In both human autopsy studies [15] and animal models [16], L. pneumophila spreads to multiple organs.
Moreover, when we used human autopsy CNS material, similar staining patterns were observed (Figure 4).
Along these lines, the feasibility of microCT has been used to assess atherosclerosis in 8 coronary arteries from human autopsy specimens [18] with excellent correlation to histological findings.
It therefore seems that in our study, PUUV RNA and antigen were detected in the monkey tissues in the same cell types and locations with focal distribution as in human autopsy tissue samples, confirming that Cynomolgus macaques infected with wt-PUUV mimic hantavirus disease in humans.
