Popis: Radiation by a direct effect on the tissue alters the development of the vaginal epithelium from a squamous to ward a mucoid type. This qualitative change in the pattern of differentiation does not seem to be either secondary to mitotic inhibition or due to a mutational effect on the nucleus, but is probably caused by an effect on the cytoplasm. This effect may be brought about via an inactivation of substances essential for keratin synthesis and facilitated by the presence of vitamin A in the natural medium.
