  2. Fluorescence in situ hybridization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fluorescence_in_situ...

    Using FISH for diagnostic purposes has found its purpose when immediate species identification is needed, specifically for the investigation of blood cultures for which FISH is a cheap and easy technique for preliminary rapid diagnosis. [30] FISH can also be used to compare the genomes of two biological species, to deduce evolutionary ...

  3. Opisthonephros - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opisthonephros

    The kidneys are seen as two elongated, red organs in this image. The opisthonephros is the functional adult kidney in lampreys (cyclostomes), most fishes, and amphibians. [1] It is formed from the extended mesonephros along with tubules from the posterior nephric ridge. [2] The functional embryonic kidney in anamniotes is the pronephros.

    This vaccine was made possible by the cell culture research of John Franklin Enders, Thomas Huckle Weller, and Frederick Chapman Robbins, who were awarded a Nobel Prize for their discovery of a method of growing the virus in monkey kidney cell cultures. Cell culture has contributed to the development of vaccines for many diseases. [1]

  6. Mesonephros - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mesonephros

    The mesonephros persists and forms the anterior portion of the permanent kidneys in fish and amphibians, but in reptiles, birds, and mammals, it atrophies and for the most part disappears rapidly as the permanent kidney (metanephros) begins to develop [2] during the sixth or seventh week. By the beginning of the fifth month of human development ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow-FISH

    Flow-FISH was first published in 1998 by Rufer et al. [11] as a modification of another technique for analyzing telomere length, Q-FISH, that employs peptide nucleic acid probes [12] of a 3'-CCCTAACCCTAACCCTAA-5' sequence labeled with a fluorescin fluorophore to stain telomeric repeats on prepared metaphase spreads of cells that have been treated with colcemid, hypotonic shock, and fixation to ...

  8. Corpuscle of Stannius - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corpuscle_of_Stannius

    The corpuscles of Stannius are special endocrine organs in the kidney in fish and are responsible for maintaining calcium balance. They are found only in bony fishes. [1] They were discovered and described by a German anatomist Hermann Friedrich Stannius in 1839. Stannius considered them as functionally similar to adrenal glands in mammals.

  9. Pronephros - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pronephros

    Pronephros is the most basic of the three excretory organs that develop in vertebrates, corresponding to the first stage of kidney development. It is succeeded by the mesonephros, which in fish and amphibians remains as the adult kidney. In amniotes, the mesonephros is the embryonic kidney and a more complex metanephros acts as the adult kidney ...
