NCK2-19: normal endomyocardial biopsy (PAS diastase)
Definition: The myocardium is composed primarily of a collection of specialized muscle cells called cardiac myocytes or cardiomyocytes.
They are arranged largely in a circumferential and spiral orientation around the left ventricle, the chamber that pumps blood to the systemic circulation.
Cardiac myocytes have five (...)

Melanocytes, after cell division, separate and migrate along the basement membrane; they extend their dendrites and establish multiple contacts with keratinocytes.
Once adhesion is established, keratinocytes control melanocyte growth and expression of cell surface receptors.

NK cells
29 November 2007Natural killer (NK) cells express cell surface receptors that recognize major histocompatibility complex class I peptides (MIM.142800) and inhibit NK cell-mediated cytotoxicity.
NK cell receptors belong to 2 distinct groups: the immunoglobulin superfamily for the killer cell inhibitory receptors (KIRs) (MIM.602992), and the C-type lectin superfamily for the NKG2 receptors (MIM.161555).
These inhibitory receptors possess ’immunoreceptor tyrosine-based inhibitory motifs’ (ITIMs) in their (...) -
keratinocytes
3 December 2003WP
Definition : A keratinocyte is the predominant cell type in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, constituting 90% of the cells found there. Those keratinocytes found in the basal layer (stratum basale) of the skin are sometimes referred to as "basal cells" or "basal keratinocytes".

rod cells
8 March 2007The retina consists of three main cellular layers (right): a rod cells (R) and cone cells (C) layer or photoreceptor layer, a layer of interneurons (bipolar interneurons, horizontal interneurons, amacrine cells) and the ganglion cell layer, whose axons form the optic nerve, connecting retina and brain.
The photoreceptors are oriented in the same plane as incoming light, which funnels through the inner to the OS.
The outer segment contains a dense array of light-sensitive, hollow discs, (...) -

Macrophages exist in almost all animals. In some invertebrates, mesenchymal cells, endothelial cells or fibroblast-like cells can transform into macrophages.
In vertebrates, primitive macrophages first develop in yolk sac hematopoiesis and (...) -
