Caption The research team induced maturation in long-term expandable organoids and generated nasal, airway and alveolar organoids that contain all major epithelial cell populations in the human ...

Researchers identified a group of epithelial cells in the mouse nose that are capable of responding to allergens directly and also to ATP released in response to allergens. When exposed to allergens, ...

The study, published in Nature Microbiology, focused on the early effects of SARS-CoV-2 infection on the cells first targeted by the viruses, the human nasal epithelial cells (NECs). These cells ...

It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells—which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities—are mute, serving ...

Concurrent analysis of whole-genome DNA methylation and single-cell RNA sequencing data from COVID-19 patients and controls ...

A further barrier to nasal delivery is the existence of tight junctions between epithelial cells in the mucous membranes inside the nose, which can prevent the penetration of large molecules such as ...

Jingjing Liu, a graduate student in Shulman’s group and study coauthor, determined that responding B cells were activated in a compartment of the nasal cavity called the nasal-associated lymphoid ...

The air that enters the nasal cavity flows down the trachea ... walls of the trachea help to keep it open ciliated epithelium and goblet cells to clean the air before it reaches the lungs Goblet ...
