Abstract
We identified an SP in the HL cell lines, KMH2 and L428. This SP almost entirely consists of distinct small mononuclear cells, whereas the non-SP is a mixture of relatively large cells with H or RS cell-like morphology. Culture of the small mononuclear cells in the SP from KMH2 generated a non-SP. S...

Abstract
We assessed quantitative (number of syncytial knots and number of syncytial nuclei per syncytial knot) and qualitative (density and surface area) characteristics of syncytial knots in each placental sample. Statistical significance was tested using chi(2)-test, Student's t-test and Mann-Whitney U-te...

Abstract
We investigated the pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) involved in phagocytosis by TG cells. PRRs such as Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and scavenger receptors play a critical role in the immune response to bacterial pathogens. Among these, we selected TLR2 and class B scavenger receptor type I (SR-B...

Abstract
We tried to investigate if solitary oral fibromas also share morphologic features with fibrous papules of the face. For this purpose, we designed a retrospective study retrieving 31 fibromas of the tongue from 30 different patients and studied a control group of 20 fibrous papules of the face from 2...

Abstract
We show that MGC formation was reduced when human macrophages were infected with nef-deleted HIV-1. Moreover, expression of Nef, an HIV-1 protein required in several aspects of AIDS, was sufficient to trigger the formation of MGCs in RAW264.7 macrophages. Among Nef molecular determinants, myristoyla...

Abstract
We developed a multiscale approach for the computationally efficient modeling of morphogen gradients in the syncytial Drosophila embryo, a single cell with multiple dividing nuclei. By using a homogenization technique, we derived a coarse-grained model with parameters that are explicitly related to...

Abstract
Five compounds, styraxjaponoside A (1), matairesinoside (2), egonol glucoside (3), dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol 9'-O-glucoside (4), and styraxjaponoside B (5) were isolated from the stem bark of Styrax japonica. Among them, compounds 1 and 5 showed significantly high virus-cell fusion inhibitor...

Abstract
We analyzed Aurora B expression in gcGB (n = 28) and GB (n = 54) patient tumor samples by immunohistochemistry; 17 gcGB and 22 GB samples were analyzed at the DNA and mRNA levels. No mutations in the Aurora B gene (AURKB) were found, but its mRNA and protein levels were significantly higher in gcGB...

The presence of osteoclast-like giant cells (OGC) has been reported as a rare and distinct feature in uterine leiomyosarcoma. To present knowledge, 11 cases have been described in the English literature. The authors report an additional example in a 35-year-old woman who presented with a pelvic mass...

We suggest that in CGCG and PGCG of the jaws, PTHrP-positive immature osteoblasts activate PTHR1-positive mature osteoblasts to produce RANKL which interacts with RANK on the PTHrP/PTHR1-positive osteoclast-precursor cells found in abundance in the stroma of giant cell lesions and induces osteoclast...

Abstract
We demonstrate that galectin-1 reduces NiV-F mediated fusion of endothelial cells, and that endogenous galectin-1 in endothelial cells is sufficient to inhibit syncytia formation. Galectin-1 regulates NiV-F mediated cell fusion at three distinct points, including retarding maturation of nascent NiV-...

To solve the problem of the possibility of syncytial connection in the nervous system, this paper for the first time presents the evidence of experimental syncytial fusion of neurons.

The paper discusses data on the existence of the syncytial interneuronal connections. Firstly, the discovery of synapses in principle is not a proof of the absence of syncytial connections in the nervous system. Secondly, there is a light microscopical evidence of the existence of the syncytial conne...
