Scientists hoping to discover better ways to boost immune function — which could lengthen our healthspan and protect immunocompromised patients — may have a new target, according to findings published ...
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 ...
A research team led by scientists from the State University of Campinas (UNICAMP) in São Paulo, Brazil, has made significant progress in understanding the relationship between gut microbiota and ...
It has long been thought that only nerve and heart cells use electric impulses to communicate, while epithelial cells -- which compose the linings of our skin, organs and body cavities -- are mute, ...
Scientists at Université de Montréal's Institute for Research in Immunology and Cancer (IRIC) have identified a dynamic structure that forms a network on the surface of epithelial cells. Led by ...
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 ...
Anatomy education in 2026 is shifting from siloed memorization to integrated systems thinking, where the digestive system serves as the perfect anchor to connect joint mobility, epithelial barriers, ...
