Dysplasia

This article is about the pre-cancerous change in cells and tissues. For the clinical condition affecting the hip joint, see Hip dysplasia. Normal squamous cells Dysplastic cells Dysplasia (from Ancient Greek δυσ- dys- , "bad" or "difficult" and πλάσις plasis , "formation") is a term used in pathology to refer to an abnormality of development or an epithelial anomaly of growth and differentiation (epithelial dysplasia). [1] The terms hip dysplasia, fibrous dysplasia, and renal dysplasia refer to an abnormal development, at macroscopic or microscopical level. Myelodysplastic syndromes, or dysplasia of blood-forming cells, show increased numbers of immature cells in the bone marrow, and a decrease in mature, functional cells in the blood.

Ciliopathy

Ciliopathy Eukaryotic cilium A ciliopathy is a genetic disorder of the cellular cilia or the cilia anchoring structures, the basal bodies, [1] or of ciliary function. [2] Cilia are important in guiding the process of development, so abnormal ciliary function while an embryo is developing can lead to a set of malformations that can occur regardless of the particular genetic problem. [3] The similarity of the clinical features of these developmental disorders means that they form a recognizable cluster of syndromes, loosely attributed to abnormal ciliary function and hence called ciliopathies. Regardless of the actual cause, it is clustering of a set of characteristic features which define whether a syndrome is a ciliopathy. Although ciliopathies are usually considered to involve proteins that localize to motile and/or immotile (primary) cilia or centrosomes, it is possible for ciliopathies to be associated with proteins such as XPNPEP3, which localizes to mitochondria but ...
