TLDR
In this histopathologic study of retinoblastomas exhibiting an unusual form of dif­ ferentiation, it seemed apparent that these tumors were producing structures resem­ bling elements of the photoreceptor cell.

Newly established human retinoblastoma cell lines exhibit an "immortalized" but not an invasive phenotype in vitro.

TL;DR: It was found that RB tumors consist of phenotypically heterogeneous cell subpopulations with varying nutrient requirements and differentiation potential in vitro and all cell lines showed the typical characteristics of established (immortalized) cells.

Immunocytochemistry of neuronal and glial markers in retinoblastoma

TL;DR: The results of this study indicate that the retinoblastoma may arise from a pluripotential primitive cell partially retaining neuronal and glial characteristics.
Journal Article

The Wilms' tumor suppressor Wt1 is associated with the differentiation of retinoblastoma cells.

TL;DR: A role for Wt1 in the differentiation of retinoblastoma cells is suggested, which may reflect the potential of these tumors to initiate the early steps of neuronal differentiation.

Glycine Uptake by Cultured Human Y79 Retinoblastoma Cells: Effect of Changes in Phospholipid Fatty Acid Unsaturation

TL;DR: One of the effects of the high polyunsaturated fatty acid content normally present in neural cell membranes may be a modulation of thehigh‐affinity transport system so that it functions more efficiently in regulating glycine uptake.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histopathologic Grading of Anaplasia in Retinoblastoma

TL;DR: Grading of anaplasia may be a useful adjunct to standard histopathologic criteria in identifying retinoblastoma patients who do not have high-risk histologic features but still have an increased risk of metastasis and may need adjuvant therapy.

Cilia and Flagella

Don Fawcett
TL;DR: Cilia are motile, hairlike appendages on the free surface of cells that play an important role in such diverse physiological processes as locomotion, alimentation, circulation, respiration, reproduction, and sensory reception.
