Normal cells are cohesive in nature but exfoliated when they attain maturation. During malignant conditions or during infection, the exfoliation becomes exaggerated and the epithelial cells show variation in morphology. Such exfoliated cells, when collected and appropriately stained, give information on the living epithelium from which they are derived. These characteristic cellular and nuclear appearances in cells thrown off from healthy epithelium, differ distinctly from those, derived from inflamed or malignant lesions. Thus by studying the alterations in morphology of the exfoliated cells and their pattern, the diagnosis of various pathologic conditions can be made | Women s Environmental Scan Project Women s Environmental Scan Project Table of Contents RESEARCH PROJECTS FROM THE HEALTH SERVICES RESEARCH PROJECTS IN PROGRESS DATABASE. 4 Part A Research Related to Violence against Part B Research Related to Breast Cancer and other Part C Research Related to Women s Part D Research Related to Mental Part E Other RESEARCH FUNDED BY THE CANADIAN INSTITUTES OF HEALTH RESEARCH . 19 A.
