4.2 Mitochondrial Architecture and Heterogeneity
Brain mitochondria are heterogeneous in structure, enzyme complement, energy metabolism, motility, and compartmentation. In recent years, the detailed three-dimensional structure of these organelles has been p...

Ultrastructure of afferent axon endings in a neuroma
Injured sensory axons with endings trapped in a nerve-end neuroma become a source of abnormal impulse discharge and neuropathic pain. We have examined the ultrastructure of such endings using anterogradely tra...

Three-dimensional fine structure of cytoskeletal-membrane interactions at nodes of Ranvier
Cytoskeleton-membrane-extracellular matrix interactions at the node of Ranvier were examined in both central and peripheral axons by combining three different methods for tissue preparation with three differen...

Distribution of (Na++K+)ATPase and sodium channels in skeletal muscle and electroplax
The distributions of (Na+ + K+)ATPase and sodium channels in skeletal muscle fibres and electrocytes were determined by immunofluorescent and immunoelectron microscopic techniques using antibodies against rat and...

Node of Ranvier formation along fibres regenerating through silicone tube implants: A freeze-fracture and thin-section electron microscopic study
Thin-section and freeze-fracture electron microscopy have been used to examine the morphogenesis of the node of Ranvier in peripheral nerves regenerating through silicone tubes. A major question posed by this ...
