Abstract:
Seven cases of solitary fibrous tumours of the pleura are here reported, formerly named benign fibrous mesotheliomas. Histologically, these tumours are formed by fusiform cells with a minimal cellular pleomorphism and absence of mitosis. These tumours cause scarce symptoms which are usually diagnosed as a casual finding when a chest X-ray is performed on account of other cause. Treatment should be surgical, with removal of all tumoral mass, thus avoiding its growth and the possibility of the reported degeneration towards malignancy.

Globular and Fibrous Proteins
Globular proteins are also known as spheroproteins and typically are approximately round in shape. They contain a mix of amino acid types and contain differing sequences in their primary structures. Globular proteins have many different functions, such as enzymes, cellular messengers, and molecular transporters. These roles often require the proteins to be...

Suture
All the bones of the skull, except for the mandible, are joined to each other by a fibrous joint called a suture. The fibrous connective tissue found at a suture strongly unites the adjacent skull bones and thus helps to protect the brain and form the face. In...
