Morphometry and allometry of the postnatal lung development in the quokka wallaby (< i> Setonix brachyurus</i>): a light microscopic study
(University of Nairobi,, 2003)
The postnatally developing lungs of the quokka wallaby, Setonix brachyurus, were investigated macroscopically and by light microscopic morphometry. Lung, parenchymal and non-parenchymal volumes as well as the components ...
Decrease in VEGF expression induces intussusceptive vascular pruning
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
OBJECTIVE:
The concept of vascular pruning, the "cuting-off" of vessels, is gaining importance due to expansion of angio-modulating therapies. The proangiogenic effects of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are ...

The pulmonary blood-gas barrier in the avian embryo: inauguration, development and refinement
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
In vertebrates, efficient gas exchange depends primarily on establishment of a thin blood-gas barrier (BGB). The primordial air conduits of the developing avian lung are lined with a cuboidal epithelium that is ultimately ...
Escape mechanisms after antiangiogenic treatment, or why are the tumors growing again?
(University of Nairobi,, 2011)
Inhibitors of angiogenesis and radiation induce compensatory changes in the tumor vasculature both during and after cessation of treatment. In numerous preclinical studies, angiogenesis inhibitors were shown to be efficient ...
Morphometry and allometry of the postnatal marsupial lung development: an ultrastructural study
(ScienceDirect, 2003)
An utrastructural morphometric study of the postnatally remodelling lungs of the quokka wallaby (Setonix brachyurus) was undertaken. Allometric scaling of the volumes of the parenchymal components against body mass was ...
Gut Morphology And Morphometry In The Epauletted Wahlberg™ S Fruit Bat (Epomophorus Wahlbergi, Sundevall, 1846)
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2005-07)
The morphological adaptations of the fruit bat small intestine to which the high functional efficiency could be related and the possible landmarks delineating the various parts of the gut were examined. The stomach was the ...
Pre-hatch lung development in the ostrich.
(University of Nairobi,, 2012)
We studied development of the ostrich lung using light microscopy as well as electron microscopy techniques. At E24, the lung comprised a few epithelial tubes, interspersed with abundant mesenchyme with scattered profiles ...
The Functional Morphology and Adaptations of the Epididymis in a Testicndid Mammal, The Rufous Sengi (Elephantulus rufescens).
(2011)
Sengis are testicondid African mammals that constitute
Order Macroscelidae. The epididymal mo
rphology in the
rufous sengis (
Elephantulus rufescens
) was studied with
focus on features and adaptations that make
it ...
