KANSAS CITY, MO--Small-cell clones in proliferating epithelia - tissues that line all body surfaces - organize very differently than their normal-sized counterparts, according to a recent study from ...
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 ...
Serum HER2 in the context of circulating tumor cells in patients with metastatic breast cancer.
Scientists have discovered a new type of cell in the human respiratory tract called the pulmonary ionocyte, and linked it to lung function decline in cystic fibrosis. Pulomonary ionocytes make up ...

New research shows how epithelial cells naturally turn over, maintaining constant numbers between cell division and cell death. Research published in Nature from scientists at Huntsman Cancer ...
Researchers have resolved a 50-year-old scientific mystery by identifying the molecular mechanism that allows tissues to ...
Studies have demonstrated a critical role of the cytokines thymic stromal lymphopoietin (TSLP), IL-33, and IL-25, produced by epithelial and other cells at mucosal surfaces in response to a wide range ...
