Summary
Manganotti
Area of Science:
- Oral pathology
- Dermatology
- Electron microscopy
Context:
- Manganotti's cheilitis is a specific lip inflammation.
- Previous research has not detailed its ultrastructural changes.
Purpose:
- To investigate the ultrastructural characteristics of Manganotti's cheilitis using electron microscopy.
Summary:
- Electron microscopy revealed basement membrane disintegration and epithelial basal layer changes in Manganotti's cheilitis.
- Observed were shedding of plasmalemms, reduced desmosomes, microvilli formation in basal cells, and invasion by blood/connective tissue cells.
Impact:
- Provides detailed ultrastructural insights into Manganotti's cheilitis.
- Aids in differentiating this condition from other cheilitis types.

01:38Intralumenal Vesicles and Multivesicular Bodies
Intraluminal vesicles (ILVs) are small vesicles 50-80 nm in diameter formed during the maturation of early endosomes. A specialized endosome containing numerous ILVs is called a multivesicular body (MVB). ILVs contain internalized molecules such as antigens, nucleic acids, proteins, and metabolites. Some of these molecules are released from the MVBs inside exosomes and are transported to other cells. Other MVBs contain molecules that are retained in the ILVs and are later degraded within the...
01:32Pinching-off of Coated Vesicles
Vesicle budding is orchestrated by distinct cytosolic proteins such as adaptor proteins, coat proteins, and GTPases. To initiate vesicle budding, membrane-bending proteins containing crescent-shaped BAR domains bind to the lipid heads in the bilayer and distort the membrane to form a protein-coated vesicle bud. Adaptors proteins such as AP2 for clathrin-coated vesicles can nucleate on the deformed membrane. Finally, coat proteins such as clathrin or COPI and COPII assemble into a coat forming...
00:55Microvilli
Microvilli are tiny finger-like projections found on the surface of certain cells. Their purpose is to increase the surface area of the cell's apical surface, resulting in more effective absorption or secretion of substances.
These microvilli are predominantly present in cells lining the small intestine, kidney tubules, and certain cells in the respiratory and reproductive systems. By significantly expanding the surface area of the cell membrane, microvilli enhance the cell's capacity to...
