Hummeler, Klaus (The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, Philadelphia, Pa.), Natale Tomassini, and Leonard Hayflick. Ultrastructure of a mycoplasma (Negroni) isolated from human leukemia. J. Bacteriol. 90:517-523. 1965.-A strain of mycoplasma isolated in tissue cultures from human leukemic bone marrow was cultivated in cell-free media for 23 passages. Concentrates of broth cultures were invest...

T HE GROWING BODY of research into the ultrastructure of the myocardial cell and the function of subcellular systems in the heart has reached proportions that make it both useful and pertinent to bring important new concepts in this area to the attention of the clinical cardiologist. Work on myocardial ultrastructure is no longer the province of the cellular anatomist and physiologist; increasi...

Mitochondria are cellular powerhouses that produce ATP, lipids, and metabolites, as well as regulate calcium homeostasis and cell death. The unique cristae-rich double membrane ultrastructure of this organelle is elegantly arranged to carry out multiple functions by partitioning biomolecules. Mitochondrial ultrastructure is intimately linked with various functions; however, the fine details of ...

Objective(s): The aim of this study was to explore the effects of Squid ink polysaccharide (SIP) on prevention of autophagy and oxidative stress induced by cyclophosphamide (CP) in Leydig cells of mice. Materials and Methods: Examination of reproductive organ exponents, abnormal sperm rate, activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase (CAT), contents of malondialdehyde (MDA), and histolog...

background: tamoxifen treatment induced cell death in the hippocampus formation of the prenatal and postnatal rat. the present study delineates the effect of tamoxifen on developing hippocampus in prenatal, postnatal and full term neonate rats received certain doses of the partial antagonist tamoxifen. methods: after perfusion and fixation, the brains were removed and processed for light and el...
