Microvascular growth, development, and remodeling in the embryonic avian kidney: the interplay between sprouting and intussusceptive angiogenic mechanisms
(Wiley, 2005)
Embryonic development is associated with extensive vascular growth and remodeling. We used immunohistochemical, light and electron microscopical techniques, as well as vascular casting methods to study the developing chick ...
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 ...
Morphofunctional adaptations of the olfactory mucosa in postnatally developing rabbits
(2012)
Rabbits are born blind and deaf and receive unusually limited maternal
care. Consequently, their suckling young heavily rely on the olfactory
cue for nipple attachment. However, the postnatal morphofunctional
adaptations ...
Take the Nature Publishing Group survey for the chance to win a MacBook Air

Development and Remodeling of the Vertebrate Blood-Gas Barrier
(BioMed Research International, 2013)
During vertebrate development, the lung inaugurates as an endodermal bud from the primitive foregut. Dichotomous subdivision of the bud results in arborizing airways that form the prospective gas exchanging chambers, where ...
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 ...
