22. Hematopoietic tissue
Granulopoiesis, thrombopoiesis
Granulopoiesis is the process of granulocyte formation. Bone marrow stem cells differentiate into all three types of granulocytes.
Myeloblast is a cell that has a large spherical nucleus containing delicate euchromatin and several nucleoli. It has a basophilic cytoplasm and no granules. Myeloblasts divide to form smaller promyelocytes.
Promyelocyte is a cell that contains a large spherical indented nucleus with coarse condensed chromatin. The cytoplasm is basophilic and contains peripheral azurophilic granules.
Myelocyte is the last cell in this series capable of division. The nucleus becomes increasingly heterochromatic with subsequent divisions. Specific granules arise from the Golgi apparatus, resulting in neutrophilic, eosinophilic, and basophilic myelocytes.
Metamyelocyte is a cell whose indented nucleus exhibits lobe formation that is characteristic of the neutrophil, eos-inophil, or basophil. The cytoplasm contains azurophilic granules and increasing numbers of specific granules. This cell does not divide. Granulocytes are the definitive cells that enter the blood. Neutrophilic granulocytes exhibit an intermediate stage called the band neutrophil. This is the first cell of this series to appear in the peripheral blood.
It has a nucleus shaped like a curved rod or band.
Bands normally constitute 0,5-2% of peripheral WBCs; they subsequently mature into definitive neutrophils.
Agranulopoiesis is the process of lymphocyte and mono-cyte for mation. Lymphocytes develop from bone marrow stem cells (lymphoblasts). Cells develop in bone marrow and seed the secondary lymphoid organs (eg, tonsils, lymph nodes, spleen). Stem cells for T cells come from bone marrow, develop in the thymus and, subsequently, seed the secondary lymphoid organs.
Promonocytes differentiate from bone marrow stem cells (monoblasts) and multiply to give rise to monocytes.
Monocytes spend only a short period of time in the marrow before being released into the bloodstream.
Monocytes are transported in the blood but are also found in connective tissues, body cavities and organs.
Outside the blood vessel wall, they are transformed into macrophages of the mononuclear phagocyte system.
Thrombopoiesis, or the formation of platelets, occurs in the red bone marrow.
Megakaryoblast is a large basophilic cell that contains a U-shaped or ovoid nucleus with prominent nucleoli. It is the last cell that undergoes mitosis.
Megakaryocytes are the largest of bone marrow cells, with diameters of 50 mm or greater. They undergo 4-5 nuclear divisions without concomitant cytoplasmic division. As a result, the megakaryocyte is a cell with polylobulated, polyploid nucleus and abundant granules in its cytoplasm. As megakaryocyte maturation proceeds, "curtains" of platelet demarcation vesicles form in the cytoplasm. These vesicles coalesce, become tubular, and eventually form platelet demarcation membranes. These membranes fuse to give rise to the membranes of the platelets.
A single megakaryocyte can shed (ie, produce) up to 3,500 platelets.

The existence of an entropy rule for quantum entanglement has been proven
09.05.2024
Quantum mechanics continues to amaze us with its mysterious phenomena and unexpected discoveries. Recently, Bartosz Regula from the RIKEN Center for Quantum Computing and Ludovico Lamy from the University of Amsterdam presented a new discovery that concerns quantum entanglement and its relation to entropy. Quantum entanglement plays an important role in modern quantum information science and technology. However, the complexity of its structure makes understanding and managing it challenging. Regulus and Lamy's discovery shows that quantum entanglement follows an entropy rule similar to that for classical systems. This discovery opens new perspectives in the field of quantum information science and technology, deepening our understanding of quantum entanglement and its connection to thermodynamics. The results of the study indicate the possibility of reversibility of entanglement transformations, which could greatly simplify their use in various quantum technologies. Opening a new rule ... >>

Virtual Solis plans to build large photovoltaic panels in orbit, using Starship to deliver the necessary equipment. However, one of the key challenges ... >>
| Random news from the Archive Nanopores heat up as ions pass through them.
15.02.2022
Japanese scientists from the Institute of Scientific and Industrial Research (SANKEN) of Osaka University found that nanopores heat up when an ion stream passes through them. This phenomenon is explained by Ohm's law and can be useful in DNA sequencing, and it also presents prospects for the use of nanopores in biosensors.
Nanopores are small holes in a membrane. Their size is so small that only one of the DNA strands or a virus particle can pass through one pore. Now nanopores are being studied for use in sensors. Typically, an electrical voltage is applied to force a substance to pass through a nanopore. Then the ions contained in the solution can pass through the pore. However, it is known that electrical energy is converted into thermal energy through resistance. This is the Joule-Lenz law. This phenomenon has not been previously studied in nanopores.
Japanese researchers have studied how the application of electrical voltage affects the heating of a nanopore. They used a thermocouple (a temperature sensor that transmits a temperature-dependent electrical voltage) made of gold and platinum nanocrystals. Their contact point was only 100 nm. Using a thermocouple, the scientists measured the temperature near a 300-nm nanopore cut into a 40-nm thick film on a silicon wafer. The scientists passed a phosphate buffer solution through the nanopore and measured the ion current as a function of the applied voltage. It turned out that the heat that was released near the nanopore was proportional to the speed of the ion current. This is consistent with the classical Ohm's law.
The scientists found that as the size of the nanopore decreased, the thermal effect became more pronounced. This is due to the fact that less cooled liquid passes through the pore and it is not possible to balance the temperature. As a result, the release of heat cannot be neglected, since it raises the temperature by several degrees.
The researchers believe that this effect can be used in the future. For example, new sensors based on nanopores could not only detect viruses, but also inactivate them. In addition, due to the heating, the nanopores will not be clogged with polymers. Also, the thermal effect can help separate DNA chains during their sequencing.
