  • Title: [Structural transformations of the vascular system of the connective tissue layer of the skin].
    Author: Sarkisov DS, Kolokol'chikova EG, Pal'tsyn AA.
    Journal: Biull Eksp Biol Med; 1987 Jun; 103(6):730-2. PubMed ID: 3593957.
    Abstract:
    Electron microscopic radioautography was performed in skin biopsies obtained from six surgical patients without skin lesions. It has been discovered that besides typical vessels--arterioles and venules--there are vessels with damaged structure in connective tissue of skin basis. On serial electron microscopic sections vascular wall thinning and gradual disconnection of wall-forming cells can be visualized. The authors suggest that structural changes in connective tissue vessels of skin basis are the physiological phenomenon. As a result of such changes pericytes may separate from the vascular wall and initiate new populations of fibroblasts.
