Microbialite-like structures in Cladophora sp. (Ulvophyceae) mats from a subtropical Andean basin: ecological implications

Rev. biol. trop; 67 (1), 2019
Abstract The solubility equilibrium of calcite is influenced by physicochemical, climatic and biological factors. Annual cycles of exceptionally prolonged drought, in conjunction with naturally occurring diffuse organic pollution, generate the unique conditions for the precipitation of lithified carbonat...

Morphology and infection process of Olivea neotectonae in teak leaves

Arq. Inst. Biol; 86 (), 2019
Rust, caused by the biotrophic fungus Olivea neotectonae, stands out as an important disease in teak plantations in Brazil. Considering the current importance of this rust and the need to obtain additional basic information about its causal agent to better disease management, the present study aimed to a...

Morphology and ultrastructure of the hypophysis in bactrian camels ( Camelus bactrianus )

Int. j. morphol; 36 (4), 2018
The morphology of the hypophysis in Bactrian camel has not been described in the literature, despite it being the master of endocrine organs in vertebrates. In the present study, we examined the morphological features of the hypophysis in Bactrian camel by means of gross anatomy, light and electron micro...

Adhesion and Initial Colonization of Streptococcus mutans is Influenced by Time and Composition of Different Composites

ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to evaluate the adhesion and initial colonization of S. mutans on the surface of novel composite resins during three experimental periods. Biofilms were formed on specimens of Enamel Plus HRI (Hri), FiltekTM Silorane (Si), Tetric EvoCeram® Bulk Fill (Te), KaloreTM (K)...

Ultraestructura del inmunofenotipo CD44+/CD24- de una línea de células de cáncer de mama triple negativo

Int. j. morphol; 36 (3), 2018
RESUMEN: El cáncer de mama es la principal causa de muerte debido al cáncer en mujeres. La microscopía electrónica permite establecer características constitutivas de las células entre diferentes poblaciones celulares. Las células madre del cáncer mamario con inmunofenotipo CD44alta/CD24baja son ...

Nuclei ultrastructural changes of C6/36 cells infected with virus dengue type 2

Biomédica (Bogotá); 38 (supl.2), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Dengue virus replication has been considered mainly cytoplasmic, however, studies indicate that some flaviviruses may use the intranuclear pathway as part of the machinery that the virus uses to increase infection capacity in the host cell. This paper describes alterations at nucl...

Assessment of ovarian follicles and serum reproductive hormones in molybdenum trioxide nanoparticles treated rats

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Special features of nanoparticles have resulted in their widespread use. Small molybdenum trioxide (MoO 3) nanoparticles can translocate from the entry portals into the circulatory and lymphatic systems and ultimately to body tissues and organs depending on their composition and size. In this re...

Pollen morphology and viability in Bromeliaceae

An. acad. bras. ciênc; 89 (4), 2017
ABSTRACT Pollen morphology characterization is important in taxonomy, conservation and plant breeding, and pollen viability studies can support breeding programs. This study investigated pollen morphology and male fertility in 18 species of Bromeliaceae with ornamental potential. For morphological charac...

Development of a rat model of knee osteoarthritis by a combination of monoiodoacetate and streptozotocin

Int. j. morphol; 35 (4), 2017
SUMMARY: Osteoarthritis (OA) caused by ageing joints or as a secondary complication of diabetes is a common health problem. We sought to develop an animal model of OA induced by a combination of the chondrocyte glycolytic inhibitor mono-iodoacetate (MIA) and streptozotocin (STZ), the agent that induces d...
