What's the difference between granule and paxillus?
Granule
Definition:
(n.) A little grain a small particle; a pellet.
Example Sentences:
(1) The patterns observed were: clusters of granules related to the cell membrane; positive staining localized to portions of the cell membrane, and, less commonly, the whole cell circumference.
(2) The extrusion of granules into the intercellular space via exocytosis is frequently observed.
(3) We have previously shown that serotonin is present in secretory granules of frog adrenochromaffin cells; concurrently, we have demonstrated that serotonin is a potent stimulator of corticosterone and aldosterone secretion by adrenocortical cells.
(4) Finally, it could be observed that elevated osmotic pressures reduced the lysis of isolated secretory granules when bicarbonate ions were present in the incubation medium.
(5) In addition, transitional macrophages with both positive granules and positive RER, nuclear envelope, negative Golgi apparatus (as in exudate- resident macrophages in vivo), and mature macrophages with peroxidatic activity only in the RER and nuclear envelope (as in resident macrophages in vivo) were found.
(6) They had no endocrine-like granules and were not associated with nerves or basement membranes.
(7) Electron microscopic immunohistochemistry revealed histamine-immunostaining in granules in a small number of nerve fibers and varicosities.
(8) Results of detailed studies on tissue reactions to Cysticercus bovis in the heart of cattle, together with a comparison of findings in animals with spontaneous and experimental infection, and an evaluation of tissue reactions in relation to the location, morphology and morphogenesis of C. bovis provided evidence for the fact that in general, the response of the heart to the presence of C. bovis was an inflammatory reaction characterized by the origin of a pseudoepithelial border and a zone of granulation tissue.
(9) The presence of a previously unreported dipeptide transport mechanism within blood leukocytes and the selective enrichment of the granule enzyme, DPPI, within cytotoxic effector cells of lymphoid or myeloid lineage appear to afford a unique mechanism for the targeting of immunotherapeutic reagents composed of simple dipeptide esters or amides.
(10) The volume density of glycogen granules in hepatocytes was highest 4 hr after the secretory granules of B cells showed the lowest value.
(11) A new technique to obliterate the mastoid volume or to reduce an old cavity by means of hydroxyapatite granulate is presented.
(12) The data suggest that proinsulin, normally processed in secretory granules and released via the regulated pathway, may also be processed, albeit less efficiently, by the constitutive pathway conversion machinery.
(13) In telecost fishes, the corpuscles of Stannius contain Bowie-stainable granules and a renin-like pressor substance.
(14) Electron microscopy revealed a well-developed rough endoplasmic reticulum, an enlarged Golgi apparatus and many highly electron-dense secretory granules resembling those of Clara cells.
(15) The study confirms that secretin influences pancreatic protein secretion and indicates in addition, that pharmacologic doses of the hormone, have the capacity to block acinar cell zymogen granule release.
(16) Immunoreactions of LTR which were seen in specific granules of neutrophils and monocytes attached to the endothelial cell surface may indicate the onset of endothelial cell damage.
(17) The capacity of granule-cell networks to separate overlapping patterns of activity on their inputs is adequate, with spatial variability in the secretion at synapses, but is improved if there is also temporal variability in the stochastic secretion at individual synapses, although this is at the expense of reliability in the network.
(18) These results suggest that bPAG is probably synthesized by trophoblast binucleate cells and stored in granules prior to delivery into the maternal circulation after cell migration.
(19) CAM, especially CD11c, were also detected in cytoplasmic granules by immunostaining in IL2-activated NK cells.
(20) The outstanding morphologic feature of cortical cells exposed to microunit ACTH concentrations for 40 min was the abundance of electron-dense granules (0.2-0.4 mum).
Paxillus
Definition:
(n.) One of a peculiar kind of spines covering the surface of certain starfishes. They are pillarlike, with a flattened summit which is covered with minute spinules or granules. See Illustration in Appendix.
Example Sentences:
(1) Paxillus involutus synthesizes probably besides the two substances also zeatin, as appears from the data obtained by column chromatography.
(2) Similar cases, reported from North America, Europe, and Russia, involve Agaricus, Boletus, Lactarius, Paxillus, Ramaria, and Suillus species.
(3) No coherence of restitutio ad integrum and hemoperfusion could be pointed out in the female patients suffering from hemolytic syndrom and anuresis due to Paxillus involutus.
(4) Brown Roll-Rim (Paxillus involutus) is a dangerous poisonous mushroom with symptoms of poisoning which occur a few hours after consumption.
(5) Statistically significant linear correlations between lead and cadmium concentrations were found only for Boletus edulis and Paxillus involutus.
(6) Gastroenteritis combined with hemolysis points to a paxillus syndrome.
(7) Specific IgG-antibodies against membrane particles of Paxillus involutus were detected by hemagglutination tests in the serum of the patient.
(8) Dry and presoaked seeds of Nigella damascena were treated with aqueous extracts of the mushroom Paxillus involutus.
(9) One female patient suffering from hemolytic syndrome and acute anuresis due to ingestion of fungi of the Paxillus involutus species recovered completely after treatment of combinated hemodialysis and hemoperfusion.
(10) A 37-year-old patient became severely ill after repeated ingestion of sufficiently cooked Paxillus involutus.
(11) It has been shown that fatal "poisoning" with the mushroom species Paxillus involutus is caused by antibodies against the fungus in sensitized patients.
