Abstract

Time-lapse studies using cine-microscopic observation showed that the hemicysts formed in a culture of rat thyroid cells in a high concentration of isologous serum were found to arise by swelling from the monolayer sheet, gradually increase in size, and then rapidly collapse. The hemicyst volume increased linearly. We speculate that each hemicyst epithelium transport a constant volume of liquid into the hemicyst lumen.
