Endothelial fenestral diaphragms: a quick-freeze, deep-etch study
The route by which water, solutes, and macromolecules traverse the endothelial cell has long been a subject of study for both physiologists and cell biologists. Recent physiologic studies describe a slit-shaped pore (5.1-5.7-nm wide) as the communicating channel, although no channel of such dimensions has been visible in electron microscopic preparations. That this channel should be found withi...
متن کاملEndothelial stomatal and fenestral diaphragms in normal vessels and angiogenesis
Vascular endothelium lines the entire cardiovascular system where performs a series of vital functions including the control of microvascular permeability, coagulation inflammation, vascular tone as well as the formation of new vessels via vasculogenesis and angiogenesis in normal and disease states. Normal endothelium consists of heterogeneous populations of cells differentiated according to t...
متن کاملAge-related changes in human macular Bruch's membrane as seen by quick-freeze/deep-etch.
Lipid-containing inclusions have been observed in human Bruch's membrane (BrM) and are postulated to be associated with age-related maculopathy (ARM), a major cause of legal blindness in developed countries. The dehydration associated with specimen preparation for thin-section transmission electron microscopy causes loss of these inclusions. Better preservation of the ultrastructure of the incl...
متن کاملCytoskeletal reorganization of human platelets after stimulation revealed by the quick-freeze deep-etch technique
We studied the cytoskeletal reorganization of saponized human platelets after stimulation by using the quick-freeze deep-etch technique, and examined the localization of myosin in thrombin-treated platelets by immunocytochemistry at the electron microscopic level. In unstimulated saponized platelets we observed cross-bridges between: adjoining microtubules, adjoining actin filaments, microtubul...
متن کاملQuick-freeze, deep-etch rotary replication of Trypanosoma cruzi and Herpetomonas megaseliae.
The fine structure of epimastigotes of Trypanosoma cruzi and promastigotes of Herpetomonas megaseliae was analysed in replicas of quick-frozen, freeze-fractured, deeply etched and rotary-replicated cells. Using control cells and cells treated with Triton X-100 before glutaraldehyde fixation, images were obtained that showed connections of the sub-pellicular microtubules with each other, with th...
