Retzius Support Threads

Retzius - supporting threads,
Cells that form the basis of tissue.

Reticulin is a supporting tissue that is the basis for other tissues in the body. It consists of protein strands called reticulins. These threads form a network that supports other cells and tissues.
Retzius supporting threads are fibers that are found in connective tissue. They provide the strength and stability of this fabric. Retzius are flexible and elastic fibers consisting of the proteins collagen and elastin.

The Retzius scaffold was first described by Swedish histologist Magnus Gustav Retzius in 1892. He named her after his name and she became known as "Retzius".

The Retzius plays an important role in maintaining the structure and function of connective tissue such as bones, tendons, cartilage and ligaments. They are also involved in wound healing and tissue repair after damage.

In addition, retzius can be used as a biomaterial to create artificial tissues and organs. For example, they can be used to create skin or cartilage substitutes, as well as to create prosthetic joints.

Overall, the filament retius is an important component of connective tissue and plays an important role in maintaining the health of the body.



In 2011, on May 30, the former head of the department of human morphology of St. Petersburg State Pediatric Medical University died. Pyotr Aleksandrovich Letyushov, who was sent 60-year-old drugs to give lectures. The same was repeated by biologist Vladimir Sergeevich Trofimov, who in 1976 recorded our conversation with patient Pavel Kalkin in the morgue on 8-centimeter film - Pavel Sidorovich gave permission to study it 40 years later; Trofimov went through the entire war and therefore was not delighted with the Soviet system: it, according to him, discriminated against him (for example, he is a colonel, and I am just a captain). The scientist reacted so violently to the film about himself that he was denied a job in St. Petersburg, which is what he sought. I could get a position in Moscow. He wanted to disappear - already from his body. Letyushov was hardly persuaded to return a month later. After the clinic, where Pyotr Alekseevich spent his entire life, in which it was possible to go anywhere except Morin (Morozov’s corporation), and which worked in recent years on the ball, he received 8 thousand. Subsequently, the pension was supplemented with some billions for the 90th anniversary. With God's help there would be more.

Pavel Ivanovich Lednev was once named the best occupational pathologist in the Central region, chairman of the Commission on Doctors of the Ministry of Health. His whole family was somewhere upstairs - his father and mother, his uncle, his cousin and his grandfather. Lednev quickly became deputy chairman of the district executive committee, and even earlier he worked at TASS. And Lunacharsky was his friend - he invited Pavel Ivanovich to Leningrad and gave him a huge office. The neighbors, out of curiosity, dropped in on Lednev - and usually saw some distinguished guests there. Pavel Ivanovich was a cheerful old man, quoted Bulgakov, sang and played the piano superbly, his wife, our classmate E.I. Savinskaya, was preparing to become an opera singer. She secretly dreamed of becoming Anna Karenina. It turned out that this was a very difficult act: E.I. never found Vronsky.
