Australian researchers have discovered a new way that epithelial cells, which form layers in organs like the skin and stomach, attach to one another, and how they perceive growth signals at these ...

In a new study, researchers at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) have resolved a longstanding mystery by showing how epithelial tissues exhibit slow-moving, glass-like behavior despite their fast ...

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 ...

Branching morphogenesis is a fundamental developmental programme by which epithelial tissues generate intricate arborised networks essential for organ function. This process underlies the formation of ...

The epithelium is a type of tissue that covers many different surfaces on the inside and the outside of your body. Epithelial cells are packed tightly together and serve as a barrier between 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 ...

Side section of the skin with epidermal stem cells (green) with one particular clone in red. Cell nuclei are stained in blue, the white dashed lines indicate hair follicles. How does a normal cell in ...
