| | RedOrbit - Science - A Two-Photon FRAP Analysis of the Cytoskeleton Dynamics in the Microvilli of Intestinal Cells |
 | | This method was applied to two-photon FRAP experiments to study the dynamics of the brush border at the apical surface of enterocytes. | | | A Two-Photon FRAP Analysis of the Cytoskeleton Dynamics in the Microvilli of Intestinal Cells | | | Our earlier work provided the first example of this kind of approach in a study of the dynamics of ezrin in the microvilli of renal epithelial cells (Coscoy et al., 2002). |

| | The study represents the first quantitative characterization of lymphocyte microvilli, according to Higgs, and indicates that microvilli are dynamic structures that rapidly alternate between states of assembly and disassembly. | | | This means that if researchers could biochemically dissect mechanisms by which microvilli assemble and segregate, they would be able to develop immunosuppressive or anti-metastatic agents to enhance treatment of cancer and other diseases. | | | The researchers hope to identify the proteins that assemble lymphocyte microvilli to provide a specific target for drug therapy. |

| | The comparison of apical membrane of all groups showed that the microvilli were present in the all groups although the number of these structures had some changes but on the hyperstimulated and progesterone injected groups, the microvilli disappeared and other projections were seen without any glycocalyx on their surfaces. | | | Also our results showed that the glycocalyx developed on the surface of the control and the hyperstimulated groups at the implantation time and there were no carbohydrates in the progesterone injected groups. | | | Both of these surfaces undergo specific morphological and ultrastructural changes, which are mediated by ovarian hormones (1, 2). |

| | Introduction to the Choanoflagellata |
| | Choanoflagellate-like cells are also found in other animal phyla; in organisms such as flatworms and rotifers, for instance, choanoflagellate-like cells are found in flame bulbs that act as excretory organs. | | | The flagellum may push the cell forward, in the case of free-swimming choanoflagellates; many species, however, are attached to a substrate by a thin stalk for part or all of their life cycles. | | | Choanoflagellates are almost identical in shape and function with the choanocytes, or collar cells, of sponges; these cells generate a current that draws water and food particles through the body of a sponge, and they filter out food particles with their microvilli. |

| | Microvilli are most frequently found on the apical surface of cells. | | | Hence, microvilli are particularly numerous on the luminal side of the small intestinal epithelium - the layer of microvilli is termed the brush border. | | | The number and density of microvilli bears direct relation to the absorptive role of the cell, as they increase surface area of the membrane. |

| | Usually microvilli are closely stretching parallel to each other in so called brush seams of resorbing epithelial cells. | | | Microvilli strongly increase the cell surface area and thus raise resorption significantly (about 300 times). | | | Lots of different proteins often connected to enzymes are located in the outer cell membrane of microvilli of the epithelial cell of the gut. |

| | The morphology of macrophages varies among different tissues and between normal and pathologic states, and not all macrophages can be identified by morphology alone. | | | Among the cells now recognized as macrophages are histiocytes, Kupffer cells, osteoclasts, microglial cells, synovial type A cells, interdigitating cells, and Langerhans cells (in normal tissues) and epithelioid cells and Langerhans-type and foreign-body-type multinucleated giant cells (in inflamed tissues). | | | However, most macrophages are large cells with a round or indented nucleus, a well-developed Golgi apparatus, abundant endocytotic vacuoles, lysosomes, and phagolysosomes, and a plasma membrane covered with ruffles or microvilli. |
