Abstract:
Authors report results of light and electron microscopic studies of dermal symptoms of 8 patients with non-diabetic lipoid necrobiosis. In all cases microangiopathy in skin, characterized by thickening of basal lamina and its becoming multilayered, and by narrowing of lumen of veins. Histological picture of dermal symptoms showed tuberculoid structure, which is characteristic of symptoms of non-diabetic necrobiosis. Orgastoplasmatic corpuscles found in plasma cells are conditioned upon atypical immune globulin synthesis.

Overview of Cell Death
Cell death was observed in the early 19th century, but there was no experimental evidence to prove it. In 1842, Carl Vogt first discovered cell death in a metamorphic toad; however, it was not termed ‘cell death.’ Scientists discovered different cell death pathways only in the 20th century...

Morphological Manifestations of Necrosis
Necrotic cells show different types of morphological appearance depending on the type of tissue and infection. In coagulative necrosis, cells become anucleated and die, but their...

Lipolysis: The Breakdown of Lipids:
Lipolysis is the process of breaking down lipids, particularly triglycerides, into glycerol and fatty acids. This process typically occurs in the adipose tissue and is triggered by various hormones, including glucagon and...
