Lymph node hyperplasia, light micrograph C015 / 6224
Lymph node hyperplasia. Light micrograph of a section through a lymph node showing follicular hyperplasia. Hyperplasia is the abnormal proliferation of cells. Damage or inflammation in any tissue may cause a reactive response in the lymphoreticular cells of lymph nodes that drain the affected area. In follicular hyperplasia secondary follicles in the cortex proliferate, causing the lymph node to enlarge

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Lymph Node Hyperplasia" offers a remarkable glimpse into the intricate world of cellular biology. Captured under a light microscope, this image showcases a section through a lymph node displaying follicular hyperplasia. Hyperplasia, an abnormal cell proliferation, can occur as a reactive response to tissue damage or inflammation in any part of the body. In this case, it triggers an enlargement in the lymph node's size due to the excessive growth of secondary follicles within its cortex. The lymphoreticular cells found in these nodes play a crucial role in filtering and monitoring our immune system. When faced with external threats or internal disturbances, such as infections or injuries nearby draining areas, they respond by multiplying rapidly. This process leads to the formation of additional B-lymphocytes and white blood cells known as lymphocytes. Through histological staining techniques employed here, we are able to visualize these proliferating cells vividly against their background structures. The stained sections highlight not only the unhealthy and abnormal aspects but also provide valuable insights into how our bodies combat various challenges at microscopic levels. This stunning micrograph serves as both an educational tool for those studying histopathology and an awe-inspiring reminder of the complexity that lies within us all.
