Abstract

To study the phagocytic capacity of invasive malignant cells, fragments of the hypoblast from chick blastoderms were confronted in three-dimensional culture with spheroidal aggregates of 1) malignant virally transformed C3H mouse cells (MO4), 2) HeLa cells and 3) embryonic chick heart cells. The hypoblast was used because it contains yolk, a marker that is absent in the confronting cells and that can be identified histologically and ultrastructurally. The confronting tissues were incubated on semi-solid agar-agar medium or in fluid medium on a gyrotory shaker. Cultures were followed for 1 to 7 days by stereomicroscopy, cinemicrophotography, light and transmission electron microscopy. Confrontation with MO4 cells of HeLa cells, known to be invasive in vitro, led to complete disappearance of the hypoblast. The fragments of hypoblast were well conserved when cultured alone or confronted with aggregates of chick heart cells. Degeneration of the hypoblast is shown at the area of contact with MO4-cell or HeLa-cell aggregates, in contrast to heart cells. Filopodia-like extensions from the MO4 or HeLa cells penetrate intercellularly, transcellularly and intracellularly into the hypoblast. Phagosomes, containing yolk and unidentified de...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.
