Hypothalamically-Induced Insulin Release and its Potentiation During Oral and Intravenous Glucose Loads [PDF]

, 1984
Male Wistar rats were provided with bilateral cannulas in the lateral hypothalamic area (LHA) and cannulas in the left and right jugular vein. Freely moving rats provided in this way with cannulas were infused with transmitters in the LHA and with ...

Common clonal origin of an acute B-lymphoblastic leukemia and a Langerhans’ cell sarcoma: evidence for hematopoietic plasticity

Haematologica, 2010
Background The hierarchical organization of hematopoiesis with unidirectional lineage determination has become a questionable tenet in view of the experimental evidence of reprogramming and transdifferentiation of lineage-determined cells.

Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis with Extensive Spinal and Thyroid Gland Involvement Presenting with Quadriparesis: An Unusual Case in an Adult Patient [PDF]

Malaysian Orthopaedic Journal, 2011
Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the spine frequently presents as a solitary lesion and rarely results in neurological deficit. Involvement of thyroid tissue is also rare, even in multifocal disease presentations.

Cancer-associated epithelial cell adhesion molecule (EpCAM; CD326) enables epidermal Langerhans cell motility and migration in vivo

, 2012
After activation, Langerhans cells (LC), a distinct subpopulation of epidermis-resident dendritic cells, migrate from skin to lymph nodes where they regulate the magnitude and quality of immune responses initiated by epicutaneously applied antigens ...

Pathophysiology of Langerhans cells

Journal of Oral and Maxillofacial Pathology, 2012
Langerhans cells (LCs) were first described by Paul Langerhans, in 1868, as dendritically shaped cells, which were located in the squamous epithelia of epidermis. Later on, these cells were identified in all stratified squamous epithelium of mammals. Dendritic cells (DCs) play an important role in local defense mechanisms in the epithelium.
