Stereology is a set of simple and efficient methods for quantitation of three‐dimensional
microscopic structures which is specifically tuned to provide reliable data from sections. Within …

The new stereological methods for correct and efficient sampling and sizing of cells and
other particles are reviewed. There is a hierarchy of methods starting from the simplest where …

Vasodilation and increased blood flow are characteristic early vascular responses to acute
hyperglycemia and tissue hypoxia. In hypoxic tissues these vascular changes are linked to …

The number and size of glomeruli in normal, mature human kidneys were estimated by a
direct and unbiased stereological method, the fractionator. The number was 617,000 on …

The contribution of cell generation to physiological heart growth and maintenance in
humans has been difficult to establish and has remained controversial. We report that the full …

The white matter is the structure of the brain that declines most with age—almost 30%, but
little is known about the age‐effect on the fibers that constitute the white matter. In the present …

Restriction of maternal protein intake during rat pregnancy produces offspring that are
hypertensive in adulthood, but the mechanisms are not well understood. Our purpose was to …

The number of alveoli is a key structural determinant of lung architecture. A design-based
stereologic approach was used for the direct and unbiased estimation of alveolar number in …

This work introduces a novel chitosan-based siRNA nanoparticle delivery system for RNA
interference in vitro and in vivo. The formation of interpolyelectrolyte complexes between …

This paper is a review of the stereological problems related to the unbiased estimation of
particle number and size when tissue deformation is present. The deformation may occur …
