In a recent study, researchers at TIFR Hyderabad show how the elasticity of extracellular matrix (ECM) of epithelial tissue affects their fundamental defence against oncogenic insults. ECM forms the ...

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 attachments, ...

Epithelial tissues are in constant interaction with their environment. Maintaining their functionality requires dynamic balance (homeostasis) and that their cell numbers are tightly regulated. This is ...

This study of ex-cigarette smokers was included as a part of a larger study of bronchial epithelium in relation to a number of different factors, including sex, age, residence (that is, urban or rural ...

Researchers have discovered the primary mechanism driving the extrusion of dying cells from epithelial monolayers. Researchers from the Mechanobiology Institute, Singapore (MBI) at the National ...
