Resent tissue culture researches support the thesis of the neural origin of Kaposi's disease. For this reason the authors have studied by time-lapse cinematography the behaviour of cells cultured from skin tissue explants taken from subjects with Kaposi's disease. Successful explants exhibited an active outgrowth with migration of macrophages, fibroblasts and bipolar spindle shaped cells that showed a peculiar distinctive feature, that is a spontaneous rhythmic pulsatility revealed by cine records. These elements may be almost certainly identified as Schwann cells. However, the presence of such cells in cultures is not sufficient to affirm that Kaposi's disease originates from Schwann cells.

Abstract
Resent tissue culture researches support the thesis of the neural origin of Kaposi's disease. For this reason the authors have studied by time-lapse cinematography the behaviour of cells cultured from skin tissue explants taken from subjects with Kaposi's disease. Successful explants exhibited an active outgrowth with migration of macrophages, fibroblasts and bipolar spindle shaped cells that showed a peculiar distinctive feature, that is a spontaneous rhythmic pulsatility revealed by cine records. These elements may be almost certainly identified as Schwann cells. However, the presence of such cells in cultures is not sufficient to affirm that Kaposi's disease originates from Schwann cells.
