Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the ultrastructure of leukoplakia and lichen planus. The light and examine electron-microscopical observations were made in the specimens of leukoplakia and lichen planus as dyskeratosis in oral mucosa which were diagnosed as benign lesions clinically and histopathologically. The results were as follows: 1. Light microscopical findings: Leukoplakia exhibited orthokeratinization and the thickening of prickle and corneal cell layers was seen. The clear and unclear granular layers were seen. Lichen planus was classified as the type of parakeratinizing region or the mixed type of orthokeratinizing and parakeratinizing region, but the former was more abundant. The thickened prickle and corneal cell layers were seen and the granular layer was unclear in the parakeratinized cell regions. Various cells were observed in expanded intercellular spaces of basal cell and prickle cell layers. The infiltration of inflammatory cells in the lamina propria was more marked in lichen planus than in leukoplakia. 2. Electron microscopical findings: 1) The melanocyte and histiocyte-like cell were seen in the expanded intercellular spaces of basal and prickle cell layers in lichen planus, while they were not obs...Continue Reading

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.
