Prostatic spindle cell lesions are diagnostically challenging and encompass a broad array of benign and malignant processes. A subset of these lesions arises only within the prostate and generally ...

For the first time, researchers have discovered and isolated adult stem cells from a non-human primate. This finding could ...

Muscles contain special sensory receptor cells called muscle spindles. When you stretch, these cells send a signal to the neurons within the muscle to tell the central nervous system that you’ve ...

The transformed tumor cells lost all of their cancer-like traits and instead resembled normal muscle cells, donning a spindle-like shape, as seen here. (Image credit: Vakoc lab/Cold Spring Harbor ...

Anthropomorphic angle. Now it turns out that these spindle cells also exist in the same brain areas in humpback whales, fin whales, killer whales and sperm whales.
