Example Sentences:

(5) Corticobasal degeneration shows similar midbrain pathology and a round, filamentous inclusion in the substantia nigra, not unlike the globose tangle, but there is also focal frontoparietal cortical atrophy.
(6) The results suggest that the stem cells of the olfactory cells are globose basal cells and not basal cells proper, and that the shape of basal cells proper changes in relation to the active proliferation of stem cells.
(7) At autopsy prominent globose neurofibrillary tangles with variable cell loss, microglial nodules, and neuronophagia were found in the locus ceruleus, third cranial nerve complex, nucleus supratrochlearis, nucleus centralis superior, and nucleus basalis of Meynert with mild pallor of the globus pallidus, mild cell loss in the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum, and sparing of the superior colliculus.
(8) In Pythium species and in several related Oomycetes, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification of the nontranscribed spacer (NTS) region with one primer specific for the 5S gene revealed, with several exceptions, that the 5S rRNA gene was present in the rDNA repeat of those species with filamentous sporangia and was absent from the rDNA repeat of those with globose or unknown sporangia.
(9) Three major sporangial morphotypes were consistently observed on leaf blades: oval, globose, and fusiform.
(10) Cultures revealed rapidly growing yellow colonies on Sabouraud dextrose agar medium at 25 degrees C. Sporangiophores branched in sympodia and the sporangia were globose, 35-60 microns in diameter.
(11) When a single dose of BrdU was given to mice 9 days after axotomy, immunostaining for BrdU was found in the globose basal cells which were negative for MA903, but not in the basal cells proper which were positive for MA903.
(12) Furthermore, three pulses of BrdU resulted in numerous BrdU-immunolabelings in the globose basal cells and a few in the basal cells proper.
(13) At the 7th-8th weeks the hepatocytes show a globose shape, their surface is furnished with scattered and irregular evaginations and they are arranged in loose and narrow ribbons, separated by vascular spaces; the hepatocytes are tightly connected with haemopoietic cells, usually furnished with hyperchromatic nuclei.
(14) The colony morphology, the presence of globose sporangia bearing motile spores, the absence of aerial mycelium and the presence of meso-DAP in cell wall, ascribe this strain to the genus Actinoplanes.
(15) In the globose cauda (Nicander's region 8), the principal cells are reduced in height, and in addition to the features described in region 7, are characterized by a concentric array of rough endoplasmic reticulum in the basal cytoplasm.
(16) These axons terminate in characteristic globose structures resembling the glomeruli of the olfactory bulb.
(17) This pseudostratified epithelium consists of apical supporting cells, a middle layer of olfactory receptor neurons and a heterogeneous population of basal cells consisting of basal cells proper and globose basal cells.
(18) These results further confirmed that NCAM was expressed by both globose basal cells and receptor neurons but not by other cell types within the epithelium.
(19) Globose and club-shaped, one- and two-celled microconidia were formed especially 'en thrse'.
(20) Cunninghamella antarctica has conidiophores usually verticillately, pseudoverticillately and sympodially branched; and globose conidia with evident spines, 12-8-16micron in diameter.
Globous
Definition:
(a.) Spherical.
Example Sentences:
(1) Only globous unicellular units (Pityrosporum orbiculare) were seen outside the active lesions and in these, after the successful treatment with ketoconazole.
(2) The hypothesis is offered that the ovoid agent of pityriasis versicolor preferentially occupies the less sweating and sebum-producing parts of the body in older (and drier) persons than the globous type does.
(3) In a randomly collected series of 175 cases of pityriasis versicolor in residents of the central-northern part of Venezuela, 13% of the patients were infected with ovoid unicellular units of the causal fungus (Malassezia ovalis) and 87% with globous unicellular units in the scales (M. furfur).
(4) These cells interpolate with goblet cells, rare mitochondria-rich cells, ciliated cells and numerous small globous cells showing a clear matrix and lacking secretory granules.
(5) A few globous neurons are scattered within the neuropil of the SPL which is formed by axons, axon terminals, dendrites and dendritic spines.
