line the cavities and surfaces of structures throughout the body, and also form many glands. Functions of epithelial cells include secretion, selective absorption, protection, transcellular transport and detection of sensation. In Greek...

A majority of cells observed in a normal vaginal smear are, not surprisingly, vaginal epithelial cells. In addition, varying numbers of leukocytes, erythrocytes and bacteria are usually evident, and small numbers of other contaminating...

a lowered level of butyrate in the gut of PD patients. Butyrate is a fundamental energy source for intestinal epithelial cells and can reinforce the intestinal epithelium lowering the risk of inflammation and carcinogenesis36. Our...

cytokine, is present in a lot of tissues throughout the human body, and can be secreted by parenchymal cells, epithelial cells, fibroblasts and by influxing immune cells [72]. The TGF-β1 signaling pathway is believed to have a central...

of oxidative stress and inflammation, in turn, involves multiple cell types such as intestinal epithelial cells, innate immune cells as well as adaptive immune cells [4,5]. Meanwhile, in the immune cells, two key transcription factors...

and adaptive immunity), and determining a transcriptional upregulation of cathelicidin also in the airway epithelial cells. Finally, 1,25(OH)2D inhibits the expression of several metalloproteinases in airway smooth-muscle cells and...

Kuperwasser, Robert A. Weinberg, Eric S. Lander Summary Screens for agents that specifically kill epithelial cancer stem cells (CSCs) have not been possible due to the rarity of these cells within tumor cell populations and their...

role of RelB in thymic architecture 4, has become clearer in terms of the development of medullary thymic epithelial cells 5, 6, 7, but still remains to be more fully elucidated 8. The secondary lymphoid tissues facilitate maintenance...

gliadin can cause an immediate and transient increase in intercellular tight junction permeability of intestinal epithelial cells [23, 24] (Fig. 1). This effect has been linked to the release of zonulin, a family of molecules that...
