Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We analyzed the three-dimensional (3D) ultrastructure of intestinal stromal cells by FIB/SEM, a novel scanning electron microscope technique, which enabled to establish 3D ultrastructure of the cells; shape, size, distribution pattern, and spatial relationship between neighboring cells and surrounding tissues. Our observations revealed that the stromal cells which had previously been considered as bipolar or stellate in shape by their long thin cytoplasmic processes in each single section, were in fact cells with broad, thin and wavy “sheet-like” cytoplasmic processes. They approached one another and appose each other at several points along the edge to form an incomplete wall within the connective tissue. Thus these stromal cell structures seem to create spatial divisions to form functional units within the tissue (compartmentalization). Similar structures known in other connective tissues are the future target to understand the cellular architecture of the connective tissue.
