The Physiology of Connective Tissue

Annual Review of Physiology, 1956
The. realization that the connective tissues may be of importance in a number of physiological and pathological reactions has stimulated increasing investigative effort. The connective tissues are widely dispersed and exhibit marked structural and functional specialization.

Serotonin and Connective Tissue

Nature, 1956
SEROTONIN (= 5-hydroxytryptamine = enter -amine) has been demonstrated in carcinoids of the small intestine as well as in the blood and urine of patients suffering from this disease1. The symptoms of these conditions are ascribed to the release of serotonin to the blood and tissues2.

Aging of connective tissues

Experientia, 1980
The purpose of this paper is to review and to illustrate some of the themes underlying recent research on the aging of connective tissues. The systematic variation with age of the relative rates of biosynthesis (and of degradation) of the macromolecules of the intercellular matrix (collagens, elastin, proteoglycans and structural glycoproteins) is ...

Connective Tissue Nevus

Dermatologica, 2009
An 8-year-old girl presented with a two-year history of a progressive ‘wrinkling’ of her cheeks. Examination revealed the skin of both cheeks appeared irregularly furrowed with a linear pattern radiating outward from the nose and mouth. A biopsy showed changes consistent with a connective tissue nevus.

Bone and Connective Tissue

Clinics in Laboratory Medicine, 2005
Bone grafts are an essential component of many orthopedic, sports medicine, neurosurgical, faciomaxillary, and oral surgeries. Bone grafts are used for a variety of purposes: to fill bone cysts, for spinal (cervical and lumbar) fusion, facial and limb reconstruction after resection of tumors, hip and knee revision surgery, and for nonunion fractures [1]

Fibrogenesis in Connective Tissues

Nature, 1954
WHILE it is now generally accepted that the cell plays a dominant part in the fibrogenesis in connective tissues, the mechanism of the formation of the fibrils of collagen and those of elastic tissue and cartilage is completely unknown. The object of this communication is to direct attention to the presence of sub-microscopical filaments in the ...

Connective tissue and inflammation

Orvosi Hetilap, 2014
The author summarizes the structure of the connective tissues, the increasing motion of the constituents, which determine the role in establishing the structure and function of that. The structure and function of the connective tissue are related to each other in the resting as well as inflammatory states.

The Carbohydrate of Connective Tissue

Nature, 1954
IN a recent paper1 on the mucopolysaccharides of bovine cornea, Meyer, Linker, Davidson and Weissmann conclude that “keratosulphate is the only sulphated polysaccharide of animal origin which does not contain a uronic acid as one of its main constituents”, and they showed that it contained N-acetylglucosamine and galactose in equimolecular proportions ...

Histamine and Connective Tissue

Acta Rheumatologica Scandinavica, 1957
SummaryHistamine has been reported to act as an important factor in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis. The influence of histamine and histamine liberator substances on tissue mast cells was studied. The degranulation observed was interpreted as a release of water-binding mucopolysaccharides in a response to increased tissue water provoked by ...
