Comparative quantitative and qualitative attributes of the surface respiratory macrophages in the domestic duck and the rabbit
(2011)
In mammals, surface respiratory macrophages (SM) are known to play a foremost role in protecting the respiratory
system by providing first line of defense through engulfing pathogens and particulate matter respired with ...
Anticancer drug vinblastine sulphate induces transient morphological changes on the olfactory mucosa of the rabbit
(2012)
Vinblastine sulphate (VBS) is an anticancer drug that acts by disrupting microtubule
dynamics of highly mitotic tissue cells. The consequences of VBS on the
olfactory mucosa (OM), a tissue with high mitotic numbers, are ...
Intussusceptive angiogenesis and its role in vascular morphogenesis, patterning, and remodeling
(Springer Netherlands, 2009)
New blood vessels arise initially as blood islands in the process known as vasculogenesis or as new capillary segments produced through angiogenesis. Angiogenesis itself encompasses two broad processes, namely sprouting ...

Development and spatial organization of the air conduits in the lung of the domestic fowl, Gallus gallus variant domesticus.
(University of Nairobi,, 2008-09)
We employed macroscopic and ultrastructural techniques as well as intratracheal casting methods to investigate the pattern of development, categories, and arrangement of the air conduits in the chicken lung. The secondary ...

Effects of Neonatal High-Dose Short-Term Glucocorticoid Treatment on the Lung: A Morphologic and Morphometric Study in the Rat
(2003)
Glucocorticoids are often applied in neonatology and perinatology to fight the problems of respiratory distress and chronic lung disease. There are, however, many controversies regarding the adverse side effects and long-term ...
Current Stereological Methods and Tools for Simple Quantification of Biological Structure: A short Review
(Univesity of Nairobi, 2004)
A statement like “the cells were more numerous” conveys little meaning unless numbers are attached to the observations. Fortunately, a set of general methods, known as stereology, may be used to quantify tissue structural ...
