X-ray diffraction of the collagen contained in blood vessels]

An X-ray diffraction study has been undertaken on Human and Rabbit blood-vessels. Vessels are stretched 500% and the diagrams present a great analogy with those obtained from collagen. Thus, it appears, that it is possible to determine by X-Rays some pathological anomalies of the collagen in vessels.     

Occurrence of a characteristic nucleolar structure in pachytene cells

Resumen Se describe el hallazgo de una estructura nucleolar característica en células paquiténicas de anteras deAllium cepa, fijadas en formol y teñidas con fuchsina. Esta estructura se presenta como una pequeña formación semejante a un botón o anillo en el nucleolo de todos los meiocitos observados en ese estadío.
