Acomys cilicicus, a species of the genus Acomys, which is the first mammal to have regeneration ability and attracts attention with its spiny-like structure, is an endemic species in Turkey. In recent years, species in the genus Acomys have been examined histologically due to their regeneration abilities. Although there are researches with regard to taxonomy of that species in the literature, there is not enough study on the subject of histology of its tissues. The aim of this study is to evaluate the available histomorphological data and documenting the normal microscobic features of the spleen and thymus tissues in A. cilicicus. In this study, 3 adult spiny mice (2 male and one female) were examined. All tissues obtained from those samples were fixed in 10% formalin and embedded in paraffin. Periodic Acid Schiff (PAS), Masson's trichrome, Gomori's silver soaking and Haematoxylin-Eosin were used for staining paraffin embedded sections. Histological analysis was carried out by using light microscopy. Histological data of the spleen and thymus tissues of A.cilicicus were reported in detailed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
