Age and diabetes related changes of the retinal capillaries: an ultrastructural and immunohistochemical study [PDF]
Normal human aging and diabetes are associated with a gradual decrease of cerebral flow in the brain with changes in vascular architecture. Thickening of the capillary basement membrane and microvascular fibrosis are evident in the central nervous system

Basement membrane and cell integrity of self-tissues in maintaining Drosophila immunological tolerance. [PDF]
The mechanism underlying immune system recognition of different types of pathogens has been extensively studied over the past few decades; however, the mechanism by which healthy self-tissue evades an attack by its own immune system is less well ...
