Macroscopic, microscopic and immune histological appearance of an oral lichen planus and a subsequently arising squamous cell carcinoma. Macroscopic (A) and microscopic (B) picture of the squamous cells carcinoma. p53 expression (C to E, single positive cells are indicated by arrows), Erk 1/2 phosphorylation (F to H, increased expression is indicated by closed triangles) and Bax expression (I to K, reduced expression is indicated by open triangles) in mucosa before (C, F, I) and after (D, G, J) tacrolimus treatment, as well as in the arising squamous cell carcinoma (E, H, K); magnification: A 5×, C to K 20×. All lesions were obtained by surgical excision, fixed in formalin and embedded in paraffin. Five μm sections of tumor lesions were fixed in acetone and air dried for 30 min.

Expression of nestin (A), GFAP (B) and neurofilament (C) in undifferentiated and differentiated BMSC.

Activity related to visual search. (A) Statistical parametric maps activated by visual search (random-effect analysis of 13 subjects, P < 0.05, corrected). In order to identify brain regions activated by visual search, we calculated percent signal change evoked during present and absent trials as compared with that for null trial. Anatomical locations were mapped on axial template brains. Top: Sections passing through visual cortices (left), intraparietal sulcus (middle), and precentral gyrus (right) in the pre-fatigue session. Bottom: Sections passing through right visual cortex (left) and left visual cortex (right) in the post-fatigue session. Crossing line indicates the local activity maximum of each brain region. The right (R) and left (L) sides are indicated. (B) Activity in the visual cortices during the visual search in the pre- (Pre) and post-fatigue (Post) sessions of the normal and CFS patient groups. Magnitude of the activity was calculated as the peak signal change (%) averaged across the activated areas. (C) Activity change rate in the visual cortices during the visual search of the normal and CFS patient groups. Activity change rate (%/h) was calculated as change of activity in the visual cortices during the visual search from pre-fatigue to post-fatigue sessions divided by the session time (hour) of the fatigue-inducing period × 100. Data are mean and SEM. ns, no significant difference (unpaired t-test). Closed columns, normal subjects; open columns, CFS subjects.

Magnitude of the activity was calculated as the peak signal change (%) averaged across the activated areas.

Expression of the engrailed gene in the embryo of the millipede Glomeris marginata. Shown is the localisation of engrailed transcripts via in situ hybridisation. The embryo proper is located on the surface of a large yolk mass that is consumed as the embryo develops. In the stages shown, the yolk mass is still very large, so that the embryo proper is still open dorsally. This is the reason why the future dorsal tissue is still located "laterally", i.e. next to the ventral tissue (indicated in the figures). This will change in very late stages, when the yolk is consumed entirely and the "lateral" portions of the germ band fuse dorsally (dorsal closure). The ventral engrailed expression marks the posterior part of the ventral segmental units. The ventral stripes are marked with p,1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Dorsally, the engrailed transcripts are in stripes (asterisks) localised at a different intrasegmental position as on the ventral side. The dorsal stripe of engrailed expression is not associated with any morphological structure at this stage, but is in the middle of the dorsal metameric units, which also becomes obvious if one compares with figure 7 B and D. The location of the future ventral and dorsal tissue is marked (dorsal-ventral-dorsal or d-v-d). Note that the dorsal tissue is on the lateral part on both sides of the germ band at this stage; during dorsal closure these tissues fuse on the dorsal side to give rise to one dorsal tissue. The head segments are marked in the embryo in panel D, for details we refer to [4,6]. (A and B): embryo at stage 4.1, (C and D): embryo at stage 5 (staging see [4,6]). Panel A and C show the bright field micrograph of the in situ hybridisation staining; panel B and D show the epifluorescence image of the embryo in A and C, respectively, in which the nuclear DAPI staining becomes bright, and the in situ hybridisation staining appears dark due to quenching of the fluorescence.

Panel A and C show the bright field micrograph of the in situ hybridisation staining; panel B and D show the epifluorescence image of the embryo in A and C, respectively, in which the nuclear DAPI staining becomes bright, and the in situ hybridisation staining appears dark due to quenching of the fluorescence. Abbreviations: d: dorsal; v: ventral; lb: labrum; an: antennal segment; pmd: pre-mandibular segment; md: mandibular segment; mx: maxillary segment; p: post-maxillary segment; 1–6: ventral leg bearing segment 1–6, s: stomadeum.

What is shown in this image?
Expression of the wingless gene in the embryo of the millipede Glomeris marginata. Shown is the localisation of wingless transcripts via in situ hybridisation. The ventral wingless expression is located just anterior to the position of the engrailed stripe (see Fig 6). Dorsally, no wingless transcripts are detected. The asterisks mark the dorsal metameric units, which are the lateral plates of Dohle [4]. The location of the future ventral (v) and dorsal (d) tissue is marked, see also figure 6.

What is the focal point of this photograph?
Dorsal engrailed stripes mark the forming tergite borders. Shown is an in situ hybridisation for engrailed in a stage 6 Glomeris embryo. At this stage the embryo rolls in (see leg pairs at ventral side in B) and it becomes clear that the dorsal stripes of engrailed expression are co-localised with the tergite borders. Panel A shows a bright field image of the in situ hybridisation staining, panel B shows an epifluorescence image of the same embryo, in which the nuclear DAPI staining becomes bright, and the in situ hybridisation staining appears dark due to quenching of the fluorescence. The future tergites are denoted with roman numbers (I–VI).
