The ultrastructural basis for the identification of cell types in the pancreatic islets. II. Rabbit, dog and opossum.
TL;DR: The pancreatic islets of rabbit, dog and opossum have been studied by light and electron microscopy and a unique cell type termed the F cell is found in the dog uncinate islets and it is characterized by secretory granules of angular profiles.

Analysis of the effects of the antiserum to the nerve growth factor in adult mice.
TL;DR: A gradual and progressive recovery of the sympathetic function ensues, and the nerve cells regain their normal appearance, in connection with the problem of the site of action of NGF antibodies in immature and in fully differentiated sympathetic neurons.

TL;DR: Normal male and female mouse submaxillary glands have been studied by light and electron microscopy and the female gland is characterized by the presence of secretory granules in the intercalated duct nearest the acinus and a striated secretory tubule.

In vitro effects of the nerve growth factor on the fine structure of the sensory nerve cells.
TL;DR: Dorsal root ganglia from 8-day chick embryos were explanted in semisolid media with or without a specific nerve growth factor (NGF) and examined with the electron microscope for striking and rapid changes in the fine structure of the neurons.

Experimental analysis of the mouse submaxillary salivary gland in relationship to its nerve-growth factor content.
TL;DR: The sexual dimorphism of the mouse submaxillary salivary gland was investigated with regard to the NGF content, and injections of testosterone in female mice called forth a marked increase of this factor and castration of adult male mice resulted in a sharp decrease of thisfactor.
