Abstract:Neuroepithelial bodies (NEBs) are clusters of highly specialized cells spread in the epithelium of intrapulmonary airways. The present study aimed at the identification and morphological description of the pulmonary NEBs in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs). Tissue slices from the lungs of 1-month-old male SHRs were stained routinely with hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) or with the vital dye neutral red. The H&E staining revealed the neuroendocrine cells as visible clusters of clear cells seen in the airway e… Show more
