Abstract This review provides a comprehensive overview of the broad clinicopathologic spectrum of cutaneous Kaposi sarcoma (KS) lesions. Variants discussed include: usual KS lesions associated with disease progression (i.e. patch, plaque and nodular stage); morphologic subtypes alluded to in the older literature such as anaplastic and telangiectatic KS, as well as several lymphedematous variants; and numerous recently described variants including hyperkeratotic, keloidal, micronodular, pyogenic granuloma-like, ecchymotic, and intravascular KS. Involuting lesions as a result of treatment related regression are also presented.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Delayed cytokinesis generates multinuclearity and potential advantages in the amoeba Acanthamoeba castellanii Nef strain Théo Quinet1, Ascel Samba‑Louaka2, Yann Héchard2, Karine Van Doninck1 & Charles Van der Henst1,3,4,5* Multinuclearity is a widespread phenomenon across the living world, yet how it is achieved, and the potential related advantages, are not systematically understood. In this study, we investigate multinuclearity in amoebae. We observe that non‑adherent amoebae are giant multinucleate cells compared to adherent ones. The cells solve their multinuclearity by a stretchy cytokinesis process with cytosolic bridge formation when adherence resumes. After initial adhesion to a new substrate, the progeny of the multinucleate cells is more numerous than the sibling cells generated from uninucleate amoebae. Hence, multinucleate amoebae show an advantage for population growth when the number of cells is quantifed over time. Multiple nuclei per cell are observed in diferent amoeba species, and the lack of adhesion induces multinuclearity in diverse protists such as Acanthamoeba castellanii, Vermamoeba vermiformis, Naegleria gruberi and Hartmannella rhysodes. In this study, we observe that agitation induces a cytokinesis delay, which promotes multinuclearity. Hence, we propose the hypothesis that multinuclearity represents a physiological adaptation under non‑adherent conditions that can lead to biologically relevant advantages. Te canonical view of eukaryotic cells is usually illustrated by an uninucleate organization. However, in the liv- ing world, cells harbouring multiple nuclei are common. Tis multinuclearity can have diferent origins, being either generated (i) by fusion events between uninucleate cells or by (ii) uninucleate cells that replicate their DNA content without cytokinesis.

It is typically located on the trunk or extremities of young adults. It can be difficult to differentiate MVH from other types of hemangioma and Kaposi sarcoma. Herein we report a case of MVH unusual for its location, age of onset, and morphologic features.

BALDWIN r Abstract: Atalodera ucri, Wouts and Sher, 1971, and ,4. lonicerae, (Wonts, 1973) Luc et al., 1978, induce similar multinucleate syncytia in roots of golden bush and honeysuckle, respec- tively. The syncytium is initiated in the cortex; as it expands, it includes several partially delimited syncytial units and distorts vascular tissue. Outer walls of the syncytium are rela- tively smooth and thickest near the feeding site of the nematode; inner walls are interrupted by perforations which enlarge as syncytial units increa~ in size. The cytoplasm of the syncytium is granular and includes numermts plastids, mit(~chondria, vacuoles, Golgi, and a complex network of membranes. Nuclei are greatly enlarged and amoeboid in shape. Although more than one nucleus sometimes occur in a given syncytial unit, no mitotic activity was observed. Syncytia induced by species of Atalodera chiefly differ from those of Heterodera sensu lato by the absence of cell wall ingrowths; wall ingrowths increase solute transport and characterize transfer cells. In syncytia of Atalodera spp., a high incidence of pits and pit fields in walls adjacent to vasctdar elements suggests that in this case plasmodesmata provide the pathway for increased entry of sohttes.

    Physarum polycephalum (plasmodial slime mold) Species: polycephalum Genus: Physarum Family: Physaraceae Order: Physarales Class: Myxomycetes Phylum: Mycetozoa Kingdom: Amoebozoa Conditions for Customer Ownership We hold permits allowing us to transport these organisms. To access permit conditions, click here. Never purchase living specimens without having a disposition strategy in place. There are currently no USDA permits required for this organism. In order to protect our environment, never release a live laboratory organism into the wild. Primary Hazard Considerations Always wash your hands thoroughly before and after you handle your cultures, or anything it has touched. It is recommended to use gloves when working with mold, fungus, or bacteria. Availability Physarum is available year round. Care Habitat • Plasmodial stage are shipped in a Petri dish on Physarum agar with oats. Your Physarum should be bright yellow in color, and fan shaped. If your Physarum takes on a different appearance it may be contaminated. Contaminated cultures occur when a foreign specimen (something other than Physarum) makes its way onto your culture. This culture should be stored at room temperature in a dark place. The culture should be viable for about 1–2 weeks in its current container. • Sclerotia are hardened masses of irregular form consisting of many minute cell-like components. These are shipped on cut strips of filter paper in a tube. The culture should be stored at room temperature and can be stored in this stage for several months. Care: • Physarum is subcultured onto Physarum agar, and is incubated at room temperature or 25 °C. To maintain viability, plasmodial Physarum should be subcultured weekly.

  • Slime Molds on Home Lawns
    LAWN & GARDEN Slime Molds on Home Lawns ► Slime molds rarely damage lawns, but their appearance is unsightly to homeowners. Learn the symptoms, cause, and control. Slime molds commonly occur on all warm- and cool- season turfgrasses across Alabama. Most slime mold causing fungi on turfgrasses belong to the genera of Physarum, Fuligo, and Mucilago. Slime molds are saprophytic fungal-like organisms that obtain their nutrients from dead or decaying organic matter in soil or thatch. Slime molds are most prevalent following prolonged periods of leaf wetness, which favors growth. Slime molds use living turfgrass strictly for structural support and rarely cause damage to lawns. However, the sudden appearance of the crusty, gray to black fruiting bodies of a slime mold on the leaves of a manicured lawn often causes homeowners a great deal of anxiety. At times, homeowners mistake slime mold appearance with chemical spills and become concerned about the health of their lawns. Alabama’s humid, warm climate is quite conducive to slime mold activity, particularly during extended periods of rain in late spring and summer. Areas with poor drainage and Figure 2. Slime mold pustules on residential turf. heavy thatch (dead turfgrass tissue lying between the green vegetation of the grass above and the root system below) also favor slime mold growth. Slime molds may Symptoms appear in the same area of a lawn from year to year. Various species of slime molds can result in the growth of many small, round pustules called sporangia (fruiting bodies) on turfgrass leaves in small circular to irregular patches, usually 4 to 8 inches in diameter (figure 1).

The rest of the animals, all multicellular, were grouped under the sub-kingdom Metazoa under various phyla (the corresponding grouping for plants was Protophyta and Metaphyta). However, under the present concept of Flve Kingdom Classification, this grouping has no relevance. Still, we often continue to use the term Metazoa to refer to the Animalia of the five kingdom classification. In th~sUn~t we start with an explanation of the levels of body organisation in animals and the baslc animal bodjr plan. However, diverse the different invertebrates and vertebrates may appear to the eye, it is possible to group them in four master body plans. These are the unicellular plan, the cell aggregate plan, blind sac plan and tube within a tube plan. The protozoans fall into the first category and the rest three structural plans are seen in the metazoans. We next list out the characteristic features of metazoans.

The lesion had progressively grown for two months. Physical examination revealed an erythematous and slightly scaly nodule measuring 10x10 mm. Dermoscopy examination showed central diffuse erythema with small red globules. A punch- biopsy revealed a proliferation of irregularly branched small vessels with collapsed lumen, extending in an infiltrative pattern in the superficial and deep dermis. Although this is a rare location, a diagnosis of microvenular hemangioma was made.

  • Physarum Polycephalum
    A HOMOTHALLIC STRAIN OF THE MYXOMYCETE PHYSARUM POLYCEPHALUM A. E. WHEALS Department of Genetics, University of Leicester, England Received May 27, 1970 HE life cycle of the Myxomycete Physarum polycephalum comprises two Takemating phases, a macroscopic multinucleate syncytial plasmodium and small uninucleate amoebae. Meiosis occurs during the formation of spores from the plasmodium and these spores hatch to give the haploid amoebae. The forma- tion of plasmodia from amoebae in strains investigated so far has been shown to be heterothallic (DEE1960) involving the fusion of two haploid amoebae and the subsequent fusion of their nuclei (Ross 1957). It is controlled by a mating-type locus (mt) at which four alleles are known (DEE 1966). A clone of amoebae carries only one mating type and plasmodia are normally formed only when clones of different mating type are mixed. P. polycephalum is potentially useful for the study of differentiation since it allows investigation of gene action in two distinct phases of cellular organization and during the synchronous morphogenetic process of sporulation. Unfortunately, although genetic analysis has been shown to be possible (DEE1962), progress has been slow because of the difficulty of selecting mutants. The uninucleate amoebae can be cultured only on bacteria so that the selective procedures and biochemical analyses which can be used on this stage are limited. The plasmodium can be grown in defined medium (DANIELet al. 1963), has synchronous mitosis and sporulation (HOWARD1932) and has been the subject of many biochemical studies (RUSCH1970). It has not seemed worthwhile to attempt isolating mutants at this stage in the life cycle because the plasmodium is multinucleate, diploid, and arises only by outcrossing.
