Both are epithelial cells, a cell type that forms barriers such as skin and mucous membranes, and also lines organs and body cavities. After blasting some cells with lasers, Yu measured tiny ...

Epithelial conversation An epithelial cell-coated microelectrode array with 60 precisely placed electrodes detects the minute electric signals generated when the cells are injured. (Courtesy: UMass ...

"I was willing to give up my whole life to come out here." The treatment, called a cultivated autologous limbal epithelial cell transplantation -- or CALEC -- can help restore surface corneal ...

Epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) has been confirmed to be involved in endometriosis. PYK2 is a non-receptor tyrosine kinase that affects cell proliferation, survival, and migration by ...

In contrast, physiological cell shedding allows the renewal of the epithelial monolayer without compromising the barrier function. Here, we investigated the role of live cell extrusion in epithelial ...

Objectives To investigate, whether the mucosal barrier in the intestine dependent of the epithelial cell survival maintenance, influences the development of arthritis. Results Intestinal HIF1α ...

The samples were filtered by 40 µm cell strainer (BD) and the supernatant containing intestinal epithelial cells was collected and subjected to gradient centrifugation using 40% and 80% Percoll (Sigma ...

We recently reported that RAB11A and RAB11B redundantly regulate spindle dynamics in dividing gut epithelial cells. However, in contrast to the well-studied RAB11A functions in transporting proteins ...
