Neural and Neural Crest-Derived Stem Cell Distribution in the Adult Human Dental Pulp

Int. j. morphol; 42 (2), 2024
SUMMARY: Despite comprehensive studies and reports about the properties of dental pulp stem cells (DPSCs) in vitro, we still need to confirm whether these in vitro characteristics coincide with the nature of DPSCs in situ. The anatomical location of DPSCs populations in the dental pulp has yet to be inve...

Tumor neuroectodérmico maligno del tracto gastrointestinal: a propósito de un caso
Malignant neuroectodermal tumor of the gastrointestinal tract: case report

El tumor neuroectodérmico maligno del tracto gastrointestinal es una neoplasia rara con pocos casos reportados en la literatura, especialmente en América Latina. Descrito por primera vez en 2003, se trata de una entidad sin tratamiento estandarizado y de pobre pronóstico. Se presenta el caso de una pa...

Polypoid non-neural granular cell tumor of the oral cavity: case report and literature review

Braz. j. oral sci; 23 (), 2024
To report a case of non-neural granular cell tumor (NN-GCT), an uncommon neoplasm, with only six studies worldwide describing cases involving the oral cavity. Methods: A 26-year-old male patient with an erythematous, firm, polypoid nodule in the floor of the mouth that exhibited areas of ulceration and m...

Neurofibroma solitario en maxilar superior: reporte de caso inusual
Solitary neurofibroma in upper maxillary: an unusual case report

Rev. ADM; 80 (3), 2023
Los neurofibromas solitarios han sido reportados en la literatura, pero son casos muy raros; por definición se presentan en pacientes que no tienen enfermedad de Von Recklinghausen, que se hereda en forma autosómica dominante, y se presenta con mayor frecuencia en hombres. Es un tumor benigno que p...

S100 proteins and their implication in the thalamus: an integrative review

Int. j. morphol; 41 (2), 2023
SUMMARY: S100 proteins belong group of calcium-binding proteins and are present in physiological intracellular and extracellular regulatory activities, such as cell differentiation, and act in inflammatory and neoplastic pathological processes. Recently, its expressions in the nervous system have been ex...

Function of s100 protein in coronary atherosclerosis

Int. j. morphol; 40 (3), 2022
SUMMARY: Atherosclerosis is a complex disease whose pathogenesis includes endothelial activation, accumulation of lipids in the subendothelium, formation of foam cells, fat bands and formation of atherosclerotic plaque. These complex mechanisms involve different cell populations in the intimate sub-endot...

Why human prepuce is a valuable resource in science? Histological, ultrastructural, immunohistochemical and statistical analysis

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: This research was to examine the histological and ultrastructural characteristics of prepuce samples, as well as vimentin and S100 protein localization and statistical analysis. Urologists have long struggled with the prepuce, which is used to treat a variety of urethral problems. Skin biopsies ...

Effect of melatonin on peripheral nerve damage resulting from tibial defect in rats

Int. j. morphol; 40 (4), 2022
SUMMARY: Peripheral nerve damage (PNI) can cause demyelination, axonal degeneration and loss of motor and sensory function. Melatonin with its antioxidative effect, has been reported to reduce scar formation in nerve injury, take a role in repair process by suppressing fibroblast proliferation in the dam...

Immunohistochemical Markers in the Differential Diagnosis of Melanoma and Nevus in Humans

Int. j. morphol; 39 (5), 2021
SUMMARY: Immunohistochemistry allows in situ detection of cell and extracellular components through specific antibodies. The objective was to compare the immunohistochemical expression patterns of the S-100, HMB-45 and MART-1 proteins for differential diagnosis of malignant melanoma and melanocytic nevus...

Levels of the interleukins 17A, 22, and 23 and the S100 protein family in the gingival crevicular fluid of psoriatic patients with or without periodontitis,

An. bras. dermatol; 96 (2), 2021
Abstract Background: Psoriasis and periodontitis are immunologically mediated chronic inflammatory diseases. Epidemiologic evidence has linked both; however, the change of markers in gingival crevicular fluid has been poorly evaluated. Objective: To evaluate the levels of IL-17A, IL-22, IL-23, S100A7, ...
