objective: confocal laser scanning microscopy (clsm) is relatively a new light microscopical imaging technique with a wide range of applications in biological sciences. primary value of clsm for the biologist is its ability to provide optical sections from three-dimensional specimen. the present study was designed to assess the thickness content of in vivo accumulated dental plaque using clsm a...

Desmosomes are major components of the intercellular junctional complex in epithelia. They consist of at least eight different cytoplasmic and integral membrane proteins that are organized into two biochemically and structurally distinct domains: the cytoplasmic plaque and membrane core. We showed previously that in MDCK epithelial cells major components of the cytoplasmic plaque (desmoplakin I...

Cells. HeLa cells (American Type Culture Collection, Rockville, Md.) were grown in 80 ml culture medium in Roux bottles. Cells were grown in Eagle's medium (7) which contained Hanks' balanced salt solution (1 1), 10% bovine serum, 100 @zg/mlstreptomycin sulfate, and 100 units/ml penicillin G. Bottles were incubated at 36°in an humidified atmosphere of 5% CO2 , and the cells were passed by tryp...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Women are at lower risk of stroke, and appear to benefit less from carotid endarterectomy (CEA) than men. We hypothesised that this is due to more benign carotid disease in women mediating a lower risk of recurrent cerebrovascular events. To test this, we investigated sex differences in the prevalence of MRI detectable plaque hemorrhage (MRI PH) as an index of plaque inst...
