Tissue‐Resident Myeloid and Histiocytic Cells in Health and Disease: Novel Emerging Concepts
ABSTRACT Although all myeloid cells are considered to derive from hematopoietic stem cells, the cells in each myeloid lineage are heterogeneous populations, and their distribution and functions vary, depending on underlying physiologic and pathologic processes, age, sex, and genetic and epigenetic signatures.

Rho-associated kinase regulates Langerhans cell morphology and responsiveness to tissue damage
Summary: Skin damage requires efficient immune cell responses to restore organ function. Epidermal-resident immune cells known as Langerhans cells use dendritic protrusions to surveil the skin microenvironment, which contains keratinocytes and peripheral

ABSTRACT Non‐syndromic Retinitis Pigmentosa (NsRP) was well known as one of the causes of visual impairment already in the 19th century. Giuseppe Albertotti, Professor of Ophthalmology at the University of Modena (Italy) in 1893, described a high prevalence of NsRP in a geographic isolate, the small village of Colloro, in northwestern Italy.

Macrophages in endocrine glands, with emphasis on pancreatic islets [PDF]
We review here the macrophages found in endocrine tissues, placing emphasis on those residing in the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. The islets represent the endocrine organ where macrophages have been examined in great detail and where our own ...

BRAF V600E-Mutant Diffuse Pulmonary Langerhans Cell Histiocytosis Successfully Treated With Dabrafenib Plus Trametinib: A Case Report. [PDF]
We report the case of a 30‐year‐old woman diagnosed with BRAF V600E–mutant pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis who was treated with dabrafenib in combination with trametinib. Chest computed tomography performed 3 months after the initiation of therapy demonstrated improvement in pericystic opacities.

Fusion of secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver [PDF]
Secretory vesicles isolated from rat liver were found to fuse after exposure to Ca2+. Vescle fusion is characterized by the occurrence of twinned vesicles with a continuous cleavage plane between two vesicles in freeze-fracture electron microscopy.
