Immunostaining of sinusoidal cells with Kupffer cell morphology may represent phagocytosis of serum proteins including IGFBP by these cells.
Stenosis, however, occurs in a later stage of coronary artery disease (CAD); consequently, the atherosclerotic plaque composition and morphology may represent a better predictor of plaque stability [ 7– 9].
Since the characteristics of 3D morphology may represent functional and genetic alteration of cancer cells as shown in altered E-cadherin expression [ 35, 36], the 3D morphological change of APP-kd cells would result in behavioral and functional conversion.
The effectiveness of conventional surveillance colonoscopy has been limited by a significant miss rate (>20%) for polypoid adenomas, as well as nonpolypoid lesions, with flat or depressed morphology, which may represent >25% of all premalignant disease, and may be particularly problematic on the right side of the colon.
Our results indicate that despite the widespread expression of key genes of pluripotency in WT and Prnp-KO ESC lines (e.g., Oct4) and their characteristic undifferentiated cell morphology, functional ESC may represent only a small fraction of the total number of cells grown under self-renewal conditions.
The differing morphologies may be associated with different survival strategies.
Soma location, dendrite morphology, and synaptic innervation may represent key determinants of functional responses of individual neurons, such as sensory-evoked spiking.
Fascin has known roles in cell morphology and migration and may represent a potential novel marker or therapeutic target for the identification and treatment of patients with aggressive forms of colorectal adenocarcinoma.
The enigmatic morphology of the mandible of Laonastes may represent one of those cases when morphology is more complex than language.
Many show morphology distinctive of tangentially migrating neurons and may represent neurons migrating into the neocortex from ventral locations.
