Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...
Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...
Are prematurely aged or overworked stem cells a significant factor in chronic lung disease? Findings of a study just released in STEM CELLS Translational Medicine (SCTM) say this is likely so. The ...
In multicellular organisms, body cells adhere to each other to form tissues that perform various physiological functions. Epithelial cells form our skin and lining surfaces, such as the gut and other ...
A newly identified subset of intestinal epithelial cells act as both the major target and a key responder in a mouse model of gut infection by the bacteria Citrobacter rodentium BIRMINGHAM, Ala. – ...
A study published in the journal Nature, led by Carlene Zindl, Ph.D., and C. Garrett Wilson in the research group of Casey Weaver, M.D., at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, brings new ...
Cells have certain proteins that help them adhere to each other while covering body surfaces and organs. Loss of these identifying proteins could result in cellular progression towards cancer and, ...
