Postnatal development of the gerbil ventral cochlear nucleus (VCN) was studied quantitatively under the light microscope in Nissl-stained serial sections at postnatal day 0 (P0), P5, P7, P10, P12, P15, and P140. VCN boundaries were unambiguous at all ages, and nucleus volume was calculated planimetr

Programmed cell death, or apoptosis, occurs during the development of many tissues and organs in almost all multicellular organisms. Although apoptosis of salivary gland cells has been demonstrated in several pathological conditions, the role of apoptosis in the postnatal development of the salivary
Formation of the blood vessel wall depends on the recruitment, proliferation, and differentiation of smooth muscle cell (SMC) precursors. The temporal events associated with the onset of expression of several SMC proteins have been well characterized in mouse and avian species. However, the timing o
Myosin heavy chains (hcs) are the major determinant in the speed of contraction of skeletal muscle, and various isoforms are differentially expressed depending on the functional activity of the muscle. Using the rapid amplification of cDNA ends (3Ј RACE) method, we have characterised the 3Ј end of t
Tuft cells, a widespread cell type that is present in the mucosal epithelia of hollow organs, including the main excretory duct (MED) epithelia of the rat salivary gland, are well documented morphologically. However, studies of their development are few. The purpose of the present study was to exami
