Dinophysiales (Dinophyceae) of the National Park Sistema Arrecifal Veracruzano, Gulf of Mexico, with a key for identification
An increase in cell length was observed in the epimastigote form, followed by a decrease in cell body width.
Trypanocidal activity of guaianolide obtained from Tanacetum parthenium (L.) Schultz-Bip. and its combinational effect with benznidazole
The myonemal fibers transverse the cell body and as they approach the posterior end (scopular region) of the cell body, they bundle together to form one massive spasmoneme that traverses through the length of the stalk.
Subcellular centrin localization within distinct compartments of Vorticella convallaria
In the present study with no phylogenetic purposes and to facilitate the comparisons, the groups of species of Histioneis were mainly delimited by 1) the shape of the cell body (rotund, reniform, etc) and 2) the orientation and shape of the left sulcal list.
Synonymy and biogeography of the dinoflagellate genus Histioneis (Dinophysiales: Dinophyceae)
They consist of an oval shaped outer cell body, a circular, outlined nucleus with homogenous, lightly stained interior, and an innermost nucleolus, which appears as a spot.

GFP was expressed in the cell body and also extensively in neuronal processes extending laterally away from the ventricular wall (represented by the border between Figure 2B,C).
Assessment of estrogenic endocrine-disrupting chemical actions in the brain using in vivo somatic gene transfer
The signal can then be carried through the axon--the neuron's elongated fiberlike extension, which can be as long as a yard--to the cell body, where it tells the cell what to do.
Neurotrophic factors: a promising area of research is exploring the use of neuroprotective compounds called neurotrophic factors, which represent a new generation of therapeutic agents that can potentially prevent cell death and vision loss in patients with macular degeneration
The regenerated egg from nuclear transfer has been cleared of its female component to make way to become the housing for a cell body: a living object without female components, without male impregnation, without the condition for receiving a human soul.
Stem cells still a dilemma
In our nervous system, each neuron (nerve cell) consists of three parts: a main structure called the cell body; a number of short, branchlike fibers called dendrites; and a long, cablelike protrusion called an axon, which splits near its tip into many terminals.
Service Learning Stimulates the Brain : Connections for Communications and Memory
Integrated into this tissue are bipolar olfactory neurons, which, starting at the tissue's surface, consist of (1) dendrites, hair-like projections that receive informational molecules; (2) the olfactory knob from which the dendrites are attached; (3) the cell body, containing the neuron's nucleus and metabolic center; and (4) the signal-conducting axon.
Within the realm: in the quest for restoration of function, the regeneration-fostering properties of olfactory tissue hold much promise for SCI--but the jury's still out. (Part 1)
The functional compartments of the neuron--the cell body, axon and dendrites all cooperate together to do this.
