  • Title: [APUD system (problems of structural and functional organization, histogenesis and pathology)].
    Author: Kvetnoiĭ IM.
    Journal: Arkh Patol; 1981; 43(1):81-7. PubMed ID: 6111309.
    Abstract:
    The aspects of structure and function of the APUD-system under normal and pathological conditions are analysed. New terms and concepts (apudocyte, apudoblast, apudogenesis, apudopathies) applicable to the APUD-system are introduced. It is suggested that some apudocytes originate from polypotential stem cells. The dysfunctions of the APUD-system (apudopathies) are described, their classification is suggested, and the role of apudocytes in the endogenous mechanisms of oncogenesis is analysed.
