It is well known that epithelial hyperplasia (benign hypertrophy) is common in the aging prostate of dogs and man. In contrast, little evidence is available for abnormal epithelial cell growth in seminal vesicles of aging animals. Recently, enlarged seminal vesicles were reported in senescent mice, however, that enlargement resulted from increased storage of secretion in the lumen and occurred concomitant to epithelial hypoplasia in that species.The present study is concerned with electron microscopic observations of changes occurring in the pseudostratified epithelium of the seminal vescles of aging rats. Special attention is given to certain non-epithelial cells which have entered the epithelial layer.

Evidence for the role of an apical cap glycoprotein in amphibian regeneration: cytochemical and autoradiographic electron-microscopic studies Early during limb regeneration in the newt, an ectodermal apical cap covering a mesodermal blastema is formed. High-resolution autoradiography of these tissues has been carried out after incorporation of [3H]fucose, which is a precursor of glycoproteins. Autoradiography shows that silver particles are located at first on epithelial cells, then on mesenchymatous cells. This observation is consistent with a hypothesis in which the apical cap would elaborate a glycoprotein acting on the blastema. Substructural autoradiography and cytochemistry also show the importance of cellular surfaces for both cells producing glycoprotein and those which are target cells.
