Development of nucleolar apparatus in the chick primitive erythroid cells

Abstract

The primitive erythroid line cells of chick embryos were studied during embryonic days 2-14 by means of a cytochemical method to investigate the appearance and frequency of the main nucleolar types. The populations of erythroblasts and erythrocytes were classified according to the presence of functionally dominant nucleoli in their nuclei. In the course of primitive erythroid cell differentiation and maturation, compact nucleoli and nucleoli with nucleolonemas (both supposed to be RNA biosynthetically active) were gradually replaced by ring-shaped nucleoli and finally by micronucleoli reflecting the reversible and irreversible inhibition of RNA synthesis, respectively. The occurrence of the main nucleolar types and their values in primitive erythroid cells of the developing chick depend not only on the maturation stage of the blood cells, but also on the developmental stage of the chick embryo. In comparison with the definitive erythroid line of the post-hatching chick and hen, the cells of the chick embryonic primitive erythroid line possess relatively high values of "active" nucleolar types. These are still present in advanced maturation stages, and occur also as definitive erythroid lines of lower vertebrates.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
