Researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these attachments, ...

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the body's organs—can respond to death and destruction with a burst of ...

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 ...

Researchers from the Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore (MBI) at the National University of Singapore have discovered the primary mechanism driving the extrusion of dying cells from epithelial ...

Side section of the skin with epidermal stem cells (green) with one particular clone in red. Cell nuclei are stained in blue, the white dashed lines indicate hair follicles. How does a normal cell in ...

Researchers have discovered the primary mechanism driving the extrusion of dying cells from epithelial monolayers. Researchers from the Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore (MBI) at the National ...

This study of ex-cigarette smokers was included as a part of a larger study of bronchial epithelium in relation to a number of different factors, including sex, age, residence (that is, urban or rural ...
