TLDR
This brief overview will illustrate current ideas about cellular proliferation and its regulation and the advantages and disadvantages of the better known methods for assessing cellular proliferation in histopathological material.Abstract:
Introduction There can be little dispute that cellular proliferation is one of the most fundamental of biological processes.' Nor can there be disagreement over the importance of assessing cellular proliferation in the study of many biological processes: indeed, Leblond2 used such assessment for identifying the three major functional types of cellular populationnamely, static, conditional renewal, and continually renewing. The practice of histopathology involves direct or, more usually, indirect assessment of cellular proliferation (and related phenomena such as differentiation) in many situations.3 It is intended that this brief overview will illustrate current ideas about cellular proliferation and its regulation and the advantages and disadvantages of the better known methods for assessing cellular proliferation in histopathological materialread more

TL;DR: In this article, light microscopic and immunohistochemical examination was undertaken of intracranial arteriovenous malformations surgically resected from 18 patients, each of whom had undergone preoperative angiographic embolization with multiple agents.

Contrast-enhanced MR imaging as a prognostic indicator of breast cancer.
TL;DR: There was significant correlation between contrast enhancement at MR imaging of breast cancer and both tumor angiogenesis and proliferative cellular activity as shown by PCNA immunoreactivity, suggesting that contrast enhancement in MR imaging may be influenced by factors that have prognostic value.

TL;DR: Although conventional histopathology is likely to remain the mainstay of diagnosis and patient management, further advances in the understanding, diagnosis, and therapy of gut lymphomas will require a greater knowledge of the cells and molecules that regulate the lymphoid milieu of the gut.

Histopathologic Characteristics of a Chronic Arteriovenous Malformation in a Swine Model: Preliminary Study
TL;DR: This preliminary feasibility study suggests that the realistic histologic characteristics of this chronic AVM model are an attractive feature, and if confirmed in future, more comprehensive studies would be of benefit in accurate histopathologic interpretation of the effects of superimposed experimental embolotherapy or radiosurgery.

Cell cycle analysis of a cell proliferation-associated human nuclear antigen defined by the monoclonal antibody Ki-67.
TL;DR: The data suggest that the early stages of mitogen stimulation represent initial sequences of proliferation and not parts of the cell cycle, and immunostaining with monoclonal antibody Ki-67 provides a reliable means of rapidly evaluating the growth fraction of normal and neoplastic human cell populations.

Monoclonal antibody to 5-bromo- and 5-iododeoxyuridine: A new reagent for detection of DNA replication
TL;DR: Monoclonal antibodies specific for 5-bromodeoxyuridine have been produced and applied in detecting low levels of DNA replication on a cell-by-cell basis in vitro and do not cross-react with thymidine.
Journal ArticleDOI
Production of a mouse monoclonal antibody reactive with a human nuclear antigen associated with cell proliferation
TL;DR: A first series of immunostainings of tumour biopsies indicated that Ki‐67 may be a potent tool for easy and quick evaluation of the proportion of proliferating cells in a tumour.
Journal ArticleDOI
Method for analysis of cellular DNA content of paraffin-embedded pathological material using flow cytometry
TL;DR: There was a good correlation between the DNA histograms produced using this method and those obtained using unfixed tissue from the same tumor stained with ethidium bromide plus mithramycin.

Cyclin/PCNA is the auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase-delta.
TL;DR: Cyclin and the auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase-δ are identical, and it is reported here that these two are identical.
