Multicellularity has its advantages. By functioning as an organized community, cells can exploit resources and carry out functions that would be impossible as single cells. Nature is replete with ...

Transitions between epithelial and mesenchymal states underlie epithelial cell plasticity and contribute to tumour progression and intratumoural heterogeneity. The epithelial–mesenchymal transition ...

Researchers at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) identified a potential new therapeutic target for eosinophilic ...

What is the Epithelial Barrier? The epithelial barrier is made by the epithelial cells that are closely arranged and cover outer and inner surfaces of organs. As a barrier it separates the internal ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

Beneath the surface of your gut lies a vast network of neurons—as many as in your spinal cord. New research from the ...

A distinct signaling pathway called TNF- drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF- program and become invasive ...

Researchers have shown that the oncogene-encoded molecule Src is responsible for epithelial cells developing invasive potential and overcoming the normal cellular defense of apical extrusion, but only ...

The cell surface antigen, epithelial glycoprotein, defined by the monoclonal antibody HEA 125, is expressed on virtually all epithelial cell membranes but not on mesodermal or neural cell membranes.
