Abstract

The development of the gilthead sea bream, Sparus aurata, endocrine pancreas was studied from hatching to 114 days, using immunocytochemical techniques. Bonito insulin (INS)-, synthetic somatostatin-14 (SS-14)-, salmon somatostatin-25 (SS-25)-, mammalian somatostatin-28 (1-12) (SS-28)-, porcine glucagon (GLU)-, glucagon-like peptide-1 (1-19) (GLP-1)-, synthetic porcine peptide tyrosine tyrosine (PYY)-, and neuropeptide Y (NPY)-like immunoreactivities were demonstrated. The different types of endocrine cells appear at distinct stages of development and differ in their arrangement. The coexistence of INS and SS-25 immunoreactivities was demonstrated in the cells of one strand or primordial cord and a primordial islet that appeared close to the dorsal epithelium of the anterior region of the undifferentiated gut or next to the gut at hatching and one day after hatching, respectively. INS- and SS-25- immunoreactive (ir) cells were located in the core and at the periphery of the single islet found in 2-day-old larvae, while SS-28-ir cells were found in the single islet in 4- to 11-day-old larvae. GLU/GLP-1-ir cells were located next to the outer SS-25-ir cells in the single islet of 12- and 16-day-old larvae. SS-14/SS-25- and SS-14/...Continue Reading

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
