  Definition: Parietal cells, or oxyntic cells, are the stomach epithelium cells that secrete gastric acid and intrinsic factor acetylcholine (M3 receptors) and gastrin (CCK2 receptors).
  The histamine receptors act by increasing intracellular cAMP, whereas the muscarinic and gastrin receptors increase intracellular Ca2+ levels.
  Both cAMP and Ca2+ act via protein kinases to increase the transport of acid into the stomach. (...)

  NCK2-18: normal endomyocardial biopsy (PAS)
  NCK2-19: normal endomyocardial biopsy (PAS diastase)
  Definition: The myocardium is composed primarily of a collection of specialized muscle cells called cardiac myocytes or cardiomyocytes.
  They are arranged largely in a circumferential and spiral orientation around the left ventricle, the chamber that pumps blood to the systemic circulation.
  Cardiac myocytes have five (...)

  WP
  A keratinocyte is the predominant cell type in the epidermis, the outermost layer of the skin, constituting 90% of the cells found there. Those keratinocytes found in the basal layer (stratum basale) of the skin are sometimes referred to as "basal cells" or "basal keratinocytes".

• osteoclasts
  29 October 2003

  Definition: The osteoclast is the cell responsible for bone resorption. It is derived from hematopoietic progenitor cells that also give rise to monocytes and macrophages.
  Information regarding the molecular regulation of osteoclast formation in humans is limited. In mice, a number of transcription factors, including PU.1 and Fos, are essential for developing an osteoclast phenotype.
  The cytokines and growth factors crucial for osteoclast differentiation and maturation in humans include (...)
