Epithelial tissues form selective barriers and undergo complex remodelling throughout embryogenesis and organogenesis. Central to these processes are specialised intercellular junctions—tight ...
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 ...
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 ...
