Stimulation of coronary collateral growth: current developments in angiogenesis and future clinical applications.

TL;DR: An understanding of the mechanisms involved in initiating and controlling the growth of coronary collateral vessels in humans with coronary artery disease has opened up some exciting new areas of research with far-reaching potential applications in clinical cardiology.
Journal ArticleDOI

Fibrovascular proliferation and retinal detachment after intravitreal injection of activated macrophages in the rabbit eye.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the fibrovascular proliferation originates from the vessel complex of the optic disk and medullary rays in this experimental model of retinal detachment.

Culture and Study of Pericytes

TL;DR: The microvasculature consists of two cell types, the capillary endothelial cell and the pericyte (also called the Rouget cell or mural cell), which are frequently seen in human, dog, and guinea pig lungs, are rarer in rat lungs, and have not been found in shrew lungs.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Clinical and Morphologic Characteristics of Kaposi's Sarcoma of the Conjunctiva

TL;DR: There was complete regression of the eyelid tumor three years after the resection, and electron microscopic studies characterize this neoplasm as a proliferation of primitive endothelial cells and pericytes, the two cell lines that compose a capillary wall.
Journal ArticleDOI

Pericyte chemomechanics and the angiogenic switch: insights into the pathogenesis of proliferative diabetic retinopathy?

TL;DR: The results suggest that diabetes alters pericyte contractile phenotype and cytoskeletal signaling, which ultimately may serve as a key, initiating event required for retinal endothelial reproliferation, angiogenic activation, and the pathological neovascularization accompanying proliferative diabetic retinopathy.

THE USE OF LEAD CITRATE AT HIGH pH AS AN ELECTRON-OPAQUE STAIN IN ELECTRON MICROSCOPY

TL;DR: The stain reported here differs from previous alkaline lead stains in that the chelating agent, citrate, is in sufficient excess to sequester all lead present, and is less likely to contaminate sections.
Journal ArticleDOI

Staining of Tissue Sections for Electron Microscopy with Heavy Metals

TL;DR: Certain hitherto unobserved details are revealed and some sort of specificity exists, although the factors involved are not yet understood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cytochemistry and electron microscopy. The preservation of cellular ultrastructure and enzymatic activity by aldehyde fixation.

TL;DR: A postfixation in osmium tetroxide, even after long periods of storage, developed an image that—notable in the case of glutaraldehyde—was largely indistinguishable from that of tissues fixed under optimal conditions with osmia tetroxides alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

A method for staining epoxy sections for light microscopy.

TL;DR: A technique for staining sections of osmium-fixed, epoxy-embedded tissues for light microscopy using aqueous toluidine blue at pH 11.1 and does not require prior removal of embedding medium, which permits better utilization of the full resolving power of the light microscope.
Journal ArticleDOI

The initiation of cell division in a contact-inhibited mammalian cell line.

TL;DR: The sequence of event suggests that regulation of RNA synthesis is the means by which contact inhibition controls cell division, and therefore DNA synthesis and cell division are controlled.
