    Afolabi, OC; Odukoya, O; Arole, G; Banjo, A F (West African Journal Of Medicine, 2001-03)
    Nucleolar organizer regions [NORs] are loops of DNA that transcribe to ribosomal RNA. They can be visualized as intranuclear black dots by histochemical staining with a colloid silver solution. Silver-stained nucleolar ...

  • Analysis of Elastic Tissue in Histological Variants of Pleomorphic Salivary Adenoma seen at the Lagos University Teaching Hospital over a period of 35 Years 

    Effiom, OA; Olawuyi, AB; Olorunsola, KD; Olisa, AG; Odukoya, O; Ogundana, OM; Ajayi, OF; Odukoya, O (West Africa Journal of Medicien, 2014-07)
