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, ...
In a recent Biomaterials study, researchers evaluate the feasibility of tonsil epithelial cell-derived organoids as an ex vivo model for studying severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 ...
Human cells can possibly sense far beyond surfaces they touch, with cancer cells being able to probe about 10 microns ahead, and normal epithelial cells -- those on the skin surface and lining ...
The small airways serve as a primary line of defense against inhaled particles and facilitate gas exchange by directing air to the alveoli. These small airways are critical in the pathophysiology of ...
