Another study has shown that including kinetic data on dynamic contrast-enhanced imaging and diffusion-weighted MRI imaging in addition to morphological characteristics showed a high diagnostic accuracy in the characterization of these lesions[16].
The established lines exhibited an overlapping spectrum of biochemical and morphological characteristics, and showed a tendency to change from one cell type to another, in keeping with the concept of a common endodermal cell of origin.
Simple correlation coefficient analysis showed the existence of significant positive or negative correlations among morphological characteristics (data not shown).
In agreement with prior studies showing that Atg7 is not happloinsufficient for autophagy deficiency or other phenotypes, we found that MGs from Atg7 +/+ and Atg7 F/+; Krt14- Cre mice displayed similar morphological characteristics (data not shown).
Many research groups have studied morphological characteristics of chalky grains, showing that abnormal starch granules were loosely packed in the chalky grains (Evers and Juliano 1976; Tashiro and Wardlaw 1991; Kim et al. 2000; Lisle et al. 2000; Singh et al. 2003; Ishimaru et al. 2009).
The number of nuclei showing morphological characteristics of apoptosis, were counted as positive in a Zeiss immunofluorescence microscope at 40× magnification.
In contrast to the neonatal models, hypoxia-ischemia in progressively older rats results in markedly reduced caspase-3 activation with fewer cells showing morphological characteristics of apoptosis, indicating that apoptosis becomes more restricted with developmental age.
Unlike NP from wild-type mice, NP from Caveolin-1 KO mice showed relatively few healthy NC clusters; most NP cells lacked the morphological characteristics of NCs and showed signs of apoptosis, and the NP contained an abundance of intercellular chondroid matrix, similar to the CLC-rich NP.
It has been shown that in OGD-treated cortical cultures, at least 50% of dying cells showed morphological characteristics of apoptosis and the activation of caspase-3, -7 and -9 in neurons and microglial cells.
In Supplementary video 1, human MoDCs were observed actively capturing bacteria within the first 2 3 h of co-culture, then showed morphological characteristics of maturing DCs, formation of dendrites.
