Andreas Vesalius (1514 â 1564) was a 16th-century anatomist, physician, and author who is often referred to as the founder of modern human anatomy
A portrait of Vesalius from his De Humani Corporis Fabrica (1543) Andreas Vesalius (Latinized from Andries van Wezel) (31 December 1514 â 15 October 1564) was a 16th-century anatomist, physician, and author of one of the most influential books on human anatomy, De Humani Corporis Fabrica Libri Septem (On

What Is Metalloproteinase?
Metalloproteinase - the name alone screams âIâm here to ruin everythingâ - is a feral pack of enzymes armed with metal claws (zinc, mostly, because itâs the shiniest weapon in the elemental arsenal) that shred proteins like theyâre auditioning for
What Are Plant Matrix Metalloproteinases?
Plant matrix metalloproteinases are metalloproteins and zinc enzymes found in plants. Matrix Metalloproteinase Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) are zinc endopeptidases, commonly called metzincins. MMP enzymes represent an ancient family of proteins with major similarities in genetic make-up that are present in a range of diverse organisms from unicellular bacteria to
What are Matrix Metalloproteinases?
Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs), also known as matrix metallopeptidases or matrixins, are metalloproteinases that are calcium-dependent zinc-containing endopeptidases;[Verma RP, Hansch C (March 2007). "Matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs): chemical-biological functions and (Q)SARs" (PDF). Bioorg. Med. Chem. 15 (6): 2223â68. doi:10.1016/j.bmc.2007.01.011. PMID 17275314. Archived from the original (PDF) on 13 May 2015.

What Is Carnoy’s Solution?
Carnoy's solution is a fixative composed of 60% ethanol, 30% chloroform and 10% glacial acetic acid, 1 gram of ferric chloride.[1][2] Carnoy's solution is also the name of a different fixation composed of ethanol and glacial acetic acid (3:1).[3][4][5] Hm..and here are some articles that come up on a search
Histones
Schematic representation of the assembly of the core histones into the nucleosome. In biology, histones are highly basic proteins abundant in lysine and arginine residues that are found in eukaryotic cell nuclei. They act as spools around which DNA winds to create structural units called nucleosomes.[1][2] Nucleosomes in turn are wrapped into 30-nanometer fibers that form tightly packed chromatin.
Heterochromatin
Heterochromatin is a tightly packed form of DNA or condensed DNA, which comes in multiple varieties. These varieties lie on a continuum between the two extremes of constitutive heterochromatin and facultative heterochromatin. Both play a role in the expression of genes. Because it is tightly packed, it was
Lipofuscin is the name given to fine yellow-brown pigment granules composed of lipid-containing residues of lysosomal digestion and considered to be one of the aging or “wear-and-tear” pigments

Leydig cells, also known as interstitial cells of the testes and interstitial cells of Leydig, are found adjacent to the seminiferous tubules in the testicle and produce testosterone in the presence of luteinizing hormone (LH).[1][2] They are polyhedral in shape and have a large, prominent nucleus, an eosinophiliccytoplasm, and numerous
