  2. Russell bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russell_bodies

    Russell bodies are inclusion bodies usually found in atypical plasma cells that become known as Mott cells. [1] Russell bodies are eosinophilic, homogeneous immunoglobulin (Ig)-containing inclusions usually found in cells undergoing excessive synthesis of Ig; the Russell body is characteristic of the distended endoplasmic reticulum. Russell ...

  3. Inclusion bodies - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inclusion_bodies

    Inclusion bodies have a non-unit (single) lipid membrane [citation needed].Protein inclusion bodies are classically thought to contain misfolded protein.However, this has been contested, as green fluorescent protein will sometimes fluoresce in inclusion bodies, which indicates some resemblance of the native structure and researchers have recovered folded protein from inclusion bodies.

  4. Exciton - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exciton

    An exciton is a bound state of an electron and an electron hole which are attracted to each other by the electrostatic Coulomb force resulting from their opposite charges. It is an electrically neutral quasiparticle regarded as an elementary excitation primarily in condensed matter, such as insulators, semiconductors, some metals, and in some liquids.

  5. Plasma cell - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plasma_cell

    Plasma cells with Dutcher and Russell bodies (H&E stain, 100×, oil) Plasma cells are large lymphocytes with abundant cytoplasm and a characteristic appearance on light microscopy. They have basophilic cytoplasm and an eccentric nucleus with heterochromatin in a characteristic cartwheel or clock face arrangement.

  6. Mott insulator - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mott_insulator

    Mott insulators are a class of materials that are expected to conduct electricity according to conventional band theories, but turn out to be insulators (particularly at low temperatures). These insulators fail to be correctly described by band theories of solids due to their strong electron –electron interactions, which are not considered in ...

  7. Multiple myeloma - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multiple_myeloma

    Bizarre cells, which are multinucleated; Mott cells, containing multiple clustered cytoplasmic droplets or other inclusions (sometimes confused with Auer rods, commonly seen in myeloid blasts) Flame cells, having a fiery red cytoplasm [71] [72] Historically, the CD138 has been used to isolate myeloma cells for diagnostic purposes.

  8. Gas exchange - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_exchange

    Gas exchange is the physical process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface. For example, this surface might be the air/water interface of a water body, the surface of a gas bubble in a liquid, a gas-permeable membrane, or a biological membrane that forms the boundary between an organism and its extracellular environment.

  9. Gas vesicle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_Vesicle

    Halobacterial Gas Vesicles. (A) Halobacterium salinarum colonies on a solid medium. Pink, opaque colonies from gas vesicle-containing cells; a red, transparent colony from gas vesicle-deficient cells. (B) Cryo-transmission electron micrograph of cells in 3 M NaCl plus 81 mM MgSO 4. The image has the low signal-to-noise ratio due to the high ...
