Because the transitional epithelium is only a few cells thick, catching cancer at this early stage ... and urinary tract disorders. While urinary cytology (the microscopic evaluation of urine to check ...

"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 ...

Airway epithelial cells act as a physical barrier against environmental toxins and injury, and modulate inflammation and the immune response. As such, maintenance of their integrity is critical.

LCA16 and SVD are severe, early-onset retinal dystrophies caused by mutations in the KCNJ13 gene, which is crucial for the function of a vital ion channel in the retina's pigment epithelium cells.

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 ...

A new study suggests that never-seen-before stem cells in the human retina can restore vision in mice with a common eye disorder. But more work is needed to translate the treatment to people.

Pulmonary fibrosis is associated with the senescence of alveolar type II epithelial (ATⅡ) cells. Additionally, ATⅡ senescence can lead to a senescence-associated secretory phenotype, which affects ...

This study examines the critical role of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) in regulating epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) in breast cancer, a prevalent malignancy with significant metastatic potential.

The released epithelial tissue was cut into smaller pieces, triturated with a 1000 µl pipette and dissociated in a collagenase solution with 1 U of Dispase (Stem Cell Technologies, 07923), 2 mg/ml ...

Staining patterns of MMR proteins were evaluated using normal epithelial, stromal and inflammatory cells as internal controls. Stained slides were scored as: (1) positive—that is, showing nuclear ...
