Electron microscopical evidence for a direct contact between nerve fibres and mast cells
Open accessAbstract
A subungual solitary glomus tumour was examined by both light and electron microscopy. By light microscopy, typical tumour tissue was seen, surrounded by connective tissue. By electron microscopy, a very close morphological relationship was noted between non-myelinated nerve fibres and mast cells. These mast cells could be divided into two groups: the mast cells of the first group contain numerous mature granules and show few lamellopodia. The distance to the nerve fibre bundles ranged between 2000 and 20 nm. In the second group, the mast cells always showed direct contact with nerve fibers. They had many lamellopodia and contained almost exclusively immature granules. In some cases, invaginations of lamellopodia and broader cytoplasmatic processes into the view that mast cells may play an important part in the function of neurons.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
