The unusual morphological abnormality we found (long-side folding of sperm heads) had not been reported and the mechanism underneath became difficult to explain.
Lipofuscin deposits can also be found in human microglia [ 79], but in addition human cells show those morphological abnormalities that we call microglial dystrophy which may well be a reflection of ongoing pathology.
Golgi fragmentation in ALS and ALS mouse models also differs from the large variety of Golgi apparatus morphological abnormalities that we observed in motor neurons of a DNA-repair deficient mouse model [ 63].
For all Hsp and DNAj factors we observed morphological abnormalities.
We quantified morphological abnormalities of the head, midpiece and principal plus terminal piece.
Given the absence of overt morphological abnormalities in R552H heterozygous brains, we used electrophysiology to assess functional properties of striatal and cerebellar neurons from these animals.
We examined morphological abnormalities of the following structures: wing shape, including venation; color patterns of the ventral wings; appendages, including forelegs, midlegs, hindlegs, antennae, proboscis, and palpi; compound eyes; and other gross structures in the head, thorax, and abdomen.
The main findings of the original publication [ 1] can be summarised as follows: (1) We observed morphological abnormalities in the field-caught adult butterflies with respect to the wing shape, wing colour pattern, appendages, antennae, palpi, compound eyes, thorax, and abdomen.
We discovered various morphological abnormalities in the surviving adults.
