A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant progress in understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and ...
The crypt–villus architecture of the intestinal mucosa is underpinned by dynamic interactions between distinct populations of epithelial, stromal and immune cells. Although the epithelial compartment ...
Northwestern Medicine scientists have discovered a previously unknown process used by epithelial cells to alleviate epithelial tissue crowding and avoid cell damage and loss, according to a recent ...
Disruption of the intestinal epithelial barrier is a hallmark of Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD), yet mechanisms of epithelial repair remain poorly understood. We developed a scalable human colon ...
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 ...
In vitro modeling of small airway epithelium for studying barrier function and mucociliary clearance
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 ...
Marc Chanson Full Professor Department of Cell Physiology and Metabolism UNIGE Faculty of Medicine Marc.Chanson@unige.ch Apicobasal polarity plays key roles in airway epithelial maturation and ...
Scientists have discovered a new protective communication circuit between specialized immune cells in the intestines, a circuit that may be therapeutically targeted to improve inflammatory bowel ...
