Angelo Ruffini

Angelo Ruffini (Pretare of Arquata del Tronto,1864-1929) was an Italian histologist and embryologist. He spent his career at the University of Bologna and University of Siena.

He was the first to describe small encapsulated nerve endings (mechanoreceptors} which were to become known as Ruffini corpuscles. He used a gold chloride stain on his microscope slides in order for to view the tiny corpuscles. He was also a pioneer in the study of amphibian gastrulation, and he published his morphological and physiological embryonic findings in the journal "Fisiogenia".
