Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called junctions. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...
Epithelial cells are held together and connected by several different types of structures that form cell-cell contacts. One of these structures, found near the top surface of the cell, is the adherens ...
Developmental biologists have discovered that during egg development in fruit flies, intercellular gaps open between epithelial cells in a controlled way at the points where three cells meet. This ...
In the present study, the researchers made the important discovery of a new subcellular adhesion site that helps epithelial cells adhere to one another -- termed by the researchers as "basal spot ...

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 ...
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 ...
