Design-based stereological methods for estimating numbers of glomerular podocytes

, 2014
The podocyte depletion hypothesis has emerged as a unifying concept in glomerular pathology. According to this hypothesis podocyte depletion may be absolute (decrease in number of healthy mature podocytes), relative (fewer podocytes per unit of ...

A New Approach to an Unbiased Estimate of the Hepatic Stellate Cell Index in the Rat Liver: An Example in Healthy Conditions¹

, 2003
Evaluation of activation and proliferation of hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) must be grounded on solid quantitative data under normal conditions. The HSC index (HSCI), number of HSCs per 1000 hepatocytes (HEP), is often used in hepatology but has been ...

Gestational related morphological abnormalities in placental villous trophoblast turnover in compromised pregnancies

, 2009
This thesis was submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy and awarded by Brunel University.Human placental villi are covered by a layer of trophoblast epithelia in direct contact with maternal blood, which exist in a constant steady-state of ...

Reprint of "Stereology meets electron tomography: towards quantitative 3D electron microscopy" [J. Struct. Biol. 159 (2007) 443-450]

, 2008
Stereological tools are the gold standard for accurate (i.e., unbiased) and precise quantification of any microscopic sample. The past decades have provided a broad spectrum of tools to estimate a variety of parameters such as volumes, surfaces, lengths,

Stereological quantification of Cerebellar Purkinje cells: Literature review and description of a variation of the physical disector method adapted to confocal laser microscopy

, 2012
Estimation of cerebellar Purkinje cell number is an important evaluation parameter for the study of the development of the cerebellum as well as for investigating the changes occurring in various experimental and physiological conditions.

A morphometric examination of neuronal and glial cell pathology in the orbitofrontal cortex in late-life depression

, 2010
Background: The orbitofrontal cortex has been implicated as a key component in depression by several imaging studies. This study aims to examine morphometrically glial cell and neuronal density and neuronal volume in the orbitofrontal cortex of late-life

Cellular pathology within the anterior cingulate cortex of patients with late-life depression:A morphometric study

, 2011
Previous imaging and morphometric studies have identified volumetric and cellular abnormalities in prefrontal areas in late-life depression. This study aimed to examine cellular morphology using stereological methodology in the supragenual region of the ...

No postnatal doubling of number of neurons in human Broca's areas (Brodmann areas 44 and 45)? A stereological study

, 2005
In this study we explored whether a postnatal doubling of the total number of neurons occurs in the human Brodmann areas 44 and 45 (Broca's area). We describe the most recent error prediction formulae and their application for the modern stereological ...
