Characterization of Progenitor Cells during Canine Retinal Development by Mallely Ávila-García, Gustavo García-Sánchez, Esmeralda Lira-Romero, Norma Moreno-Mendoza

“…We identify the presence of progenitor cells during retinal development in the dog, as this species represents a natural model for studying several breed-specific degenerative retinal disorders. Antibodies to detected progenitor cells (Pax6, C-kit, and nestin) and ganglion cells (BDNF, Brn3a, and Thy1) were used in combination with H3 for the purpose of identifying proliferating cells. …”

Regulated Spatial Distribution of Cyclooxygenases and Lipoxygenases in Crohn's Ulcer

“…Seventeen specimens of Crohn's disease dated between 2003/1/1 and 2005/1/1 were collected and underwent immunohistochemical analyses with cylcooxygenase 1, cyclooxygenase 2, 5-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase-1 antibodies. <emph>Results</emph>. (1) The spatial distribution of the three leading enzymes in arachidonic acid pathway&#8212;cyclooxygenase 2, 5-lipoxygenase, and 15-lipoxygenase-1&#8212;followed sequential arrangement in Crohn's ulcer: neutrophils highly expressing 5-lipoxygenase were in the utmost surface which bordered the band of cyclooxygenase-2 expression that is located just beneath it, and in the lower layers and below the granulation region were eosinophils carrying 15-lipoxygeanse-1. (2) Cyclooxygenase-2 and 15-Lipoxygenase-1-positive cells formed two barrier-like structures that possibly inhibited neutrophil infiltration. …”
