(3) In situ hybridization of SMG sections showed that Aeg-1 and Aeg-2 transcripts are produced by the cells of granular convoluted tubules.
(4) The NAD-dependent enzymes (except alpha-GPDH) showed a stronger reactivity in the proximal tubules, while the NADP-dependent ones were more reactive in the thick limb of Henle's loop and distal convoluted tubules.
(5) The recent identification among non-Hodgkin's malignant lymphomas of a high-grade malignancy entity of possible thymic origin and defined as lymphoblastic convoluted-cell lymphoma allowed the morphologic and radiological diagnosis of nine cases of this disease.

Convolution
Definition:
(n.) The act of rolling anything upon itself, or one thing upon another; a winding motion.
(n.) The state of being rolled upon itself, or rolled or doubled together; a tortuous or sinuous winding or fold, as of something rolled or folded upon itself.
(n.) An irregular, tortuous folding of an organ or part; as, the convolutions of the intestines; the cerebral convolutions. See Brain.
