Carmine-propionic acid staining was found to enhance the elucidation of cellular membranes in the esophagus and genital tract and the structure of sperm in strongylate nematodes. This regressive staining technique may also have general utility for differentiation of cellular membranes and nuclear structure in other taxa of parasitic helminths.

Most genotoxic organic carcinogens require metabolic activation to exert their detrimental effects. The present review summarizes the mechanisms of how organic carcinogens are bioactivated into DNA-reactive descendants. Beginning with the history of discovery of some important human organic carcinogens, the text guides through the development of the knowledge on their molecular mode of action that has grown over the past decades. Some of the most important molecular mechanisms in chemical carcinogenesis, the role of the enzymes involved in bioactivation, the target gene structures of some ultimate carcinogenic metabolites, and implications for human cancer risk assessment are discussed.
Insight on the function of gangliosides can emerge from knowledge of their cellular distribution. In this paper we review the structure of ganglioside GD3 and recent information on its cellular distribution. GD3 appears to be enriched in a variety of neural cell types including: reactive glia, gliomas, undifferentiated neurons, Muller glia, and oligodendroglia. Because each of these cell types share an enhanced permeability to ions and metabolites or possess properties associated with enhanced permeability, we suggest that GD3 is associated with enhanced membrane permeability. A possible function for GD3 in membrane permeability has implications for other cellular events such as metabolism, growth and interactions.

Mechanically active cells in soft media act as force dipoles. The resulting elastic interactions are long ranged and favor the formation of strings. We show analytically that due to screening, the effective interaction between strings decays exponentially, with a decay length determined only by geometry. Both for disordered and ordered arrangements of cells, we predict novel phase transitions from paraelastic to ferroelastic and antiferroelastic phases as a function of the Poisson ratio.
