Neuropeptide Y-immunoreactive intracardiac neurones, granule-containing cells and nerves associated with ganglia and blood vessels in rat and guinea-pig heart
Intrinsic neuropeptide Y-containing neurones in rat and guinea-pig hearts were studied at the ultrastructural level by the pre-embedding peroxidase-antiperoxidase immunocytochemical technique. Intracardiac neu...

Nitric oxide synthase-containing neurones and nerve fibres within cardiac ganglia of rat and guinea-pig: an electron-microscopic immunocytochemical study
The nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactivity and NADPH-diaphorase activity of intracardiac neurones in the rat and guinea-pig was studied at the ultrastructural level. While some nitric oxide synthase-containing...

Electron-microscopic immunolabelling of vasoactive substances in human umbilical endothelial cells and their actions in early and late pregnancy
Human umbilical vessels are devoid of nerves and therefore endothelial cells may play an important role in the control of feto-placental blood flow. The pharmacological effects of 5-hydroxytryptamine, histamin...

The absence of autonomic perivascular nerves in human colorectal liver metastases
The peptidergic/aminergic innervation of normal liver and tumour blood vessels was investigated in order to determine vascular control with a view to improving the efficacy of hepatic arterial cytotoxic infusi...

Ultrastructural investigation of nitric oxide synthase-immunoreactive nerves associated with coronary blood vessels of rat and guinea-pig
Ultrastructural investigation of nitrix oxide synthase-immunoreactive nerves closely associated with blood vessels in rat and guinea-pig hearts revealed many labelled nerve fibres in the walls of the main bran...

Colocalization of vasoactive substances in the endothelial cells of human umbilical vessels
Human umbilical vessels are unique in lacking any innervation; thus endothelial cells may play the major role in local control and regulation of the blood flow. In the present study, we examined ultrathin sect...

Regeneration of adult rat CNS axons into peripheral nerve autografts: ultrastructural studies of the early stages of axonal sprouting and regenerative axonal growth
If one end of a segment of peripheral nerve is inserted into the brain or spinal cord, neuronal perikarya in the vicinity of the graft tip can be labelled with retrogradely transported tracers applied to the d...

GAP-43 in the axons of mammalian CNS neurons regenerating into peripheral nerve grafts
Although mature mammalian CNS neurons do not normally regenerate axons after injury, it is well established that they will regrow axons over long distances into peripheral nerve implants. We have autografted s...

Schwann cell migration through freeze-killed peripheral nerve grafts without accompanying axons
Freeze-dried tibial nerve grafts were anastomosed to either the proximal stump or the distal stump of severed tibial nerves in adult inbred Fischer rats. In the case of grafts attached to the proximal stump th...

Peripheral nerve regeneration through optic nerve grafts
Grafts of optic nerve were placed end-toend with the proximal stumps of severed common peroneal nerves in inbred mice. It was found that fraying the proximal end of adult optic nerve grafts to disrupt the glia...
