Although liver morphology has been studied for more than 350 years, 1 in this essay we explore historical contributions by Frances Glisson, Ewald Hering, Franklin Mall, and Aron M. Rappaport, the champions of liver microanatomy, as well as recent refinements of their discoveries.
In general, the reproduction and transmission of fungi can be carried out via asexual (or mitospores) and/or sexual spores (or meiotic spores), which can be haploid, diploid or polyploid, with each one having their own characteristics in terms of morphology, size and ornamentation color.
10 lip 2019 · We have established a human liver cell atlas, revealing heterogeneity within major liver cell populations and the existence of an epithelial progenitor in the adult human liver.
Discoveries regarding the functional heterogeneity of the various liver cell types, including hepatocytes, hepatic stellate cells, sinusoidal endothelia, and Kupffer cells, are providing new insights into our understanding of the development, prevention and treatment of liver disease.
25 lut 2022 · Summary. This chapter offers diverse images that provide an overview of the anatomy, microscopic structure, and cell types of liver and aims to provide a synopsis through pictures and illustrations rather than through text. Embryologically, the primordial liver first appears toward the end of gestational week 3.
