What's the difference between blastemal and blastemic?
Blastemal
Definition:
(a.) Relating to the blastema; rudimentary.
Example Sentences:
(1) (2) Septa and the papillonodules, when present, are the only solid portion of the tumor and contain blastemal cells admixed with their normal and aberrant derivatives.
(2) Both the characteristic pattern of epidermal mitotic stimulation which normally follows amputation and the later increase in blastemal mitoses are suppressed by irradiation.
(3) When epithelium-free blastemal mesenchyme is grafted onto injured flank musculature, ectopic limb regeneration occurs and the AEC derived from flank epidermis exhibits mAb 9G1 reactivity.
(4) The histologic analysis of the patient's tumor, including both light and electron microscopic analysis, indicated that this tumor satisfies the histologic criteria for an adult Wilms' tumor, namely, blastemic cells that are immature renal parenchymal cells, embryonic tubular structures, and a scanty stromal component consisting of loosely arranged spindle cells.
(5) Recent work has demonstrated that denervated blastemal cells accumulate in the G1 phase of the cycle.
(6) Using microdensitometry techniques the points in the cycle where blastemal cells become blocked after X-irradiation or denervation of the regenerating amphibian limb have been identified.
(7) In-situ-hybridization allowed precise localization of the markedly increased IGF-II mRNA to blastemal cells.
(8) In Wilms' tumour, binding of PAL-E was not restricted to the endothelium; staining of blastemal cells was observed in seven out of eight cases examined.
(9) The PNA stained the surface of the blastemal cells after sialidase digestion in the original tumor, heterotransplants, and cultured cells.
(10) The thicker underlying reticular lamina was markedly attenuated in these regions near the blastemal apex.
(11) After amputation of the limb of an adult urodele amphibian at any point along the proximodistal axis, blastemal cells (the progenitor cells of the regenerate) give rise only to the missing structures.
(12) The abortive blastems disappear only slowly, because the degeneration of their neoblasts is partly compensated by the continual immigration of new regeneration cells which come from the posterior region.
(13) Such regressions were followed by blastemal formation and middle- to late-bud blastemas were found at the end of 11 or 14 days treatments with retinol palmitate.
(14) Wilms' tumour (nephroblastoma), a childhood embryonal kidney tumour, is believed to arise from malignant transformation of abnormally persistent metanephric blastemal cells.
(15) Blastemal cells from the central portion of the regenerate were observed at varius stages of chrondrogenesis with those immediately beneath the wound epithelium least advanced in this respect.
(16) The molecular weights of the newt proteins detected by these antibodies are very similar to those of human keratins 8 and 18, further supporting the immunocytochemical evidence that the newt homologs of these keratins are expressed in blastemal cells.
(17) To better characterize the cells involved in newt limb regeneration, blastemal cells from accumulation and differentiation phase blastemas were grown in dissociated cell culture, and their morphology and antigenic phenotype determined using a variety of antibodies directed against intermediate filaments, cell adhesion molecules, and extracellular matrix molecules.
(18) However, blastemal cells demonstrated coexpression of CYTO and VIM intermediate filaments when grown in a serum-free medium on a matrix material.
(19) The effects of vitamin A on blastemal epidermis were studied during the early postamputational period of forelimb regeneration in Triturus alpestris.
(20) These observations emphasize the potential value of a monoclonal anti-polysialic acid antibody in identifying blastemal metanephric cells and their epithelial differentiatives in Wilms' tumor.
