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 ...

Fatty acid synthase (FASN) expression has been reported in many different tumors, including breast cancer. In gene microarray studies, the fatty acid synthase gene co-clustered with cytokeratins 5 and ...

New research led by the University of Bristol has found the protein p53 plays a key role in epithelial migration and tissue repair. The findings could improve our understanding of the processes used ...

We compared the growth and morphology of normal, dysplastic and malignant human mammary epithelial cells (HMEC) in medium containing 5% human serum, a serum-free medium (32) and serum-free medium with ...

Our staff is having difficulty with the definitions of tissue types seen in pressure ulcers. Can you help? There are four basic types of skin tissue seen in pressure ulcers: slough, eschar, ...

Through modeling and experiments, researchers uncover a previously undescribed shape -- they call a 'scutoid' -- adopted by packed epithelial cells during embryonic development; discovery could lead ...

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

Normal urinary bladder epithelial cells and cells derived from 2-acetylaminofluorene-induced urothelial carcinomas from male Balb/c mice were grown in monolayer culture and were characterized. Cell ...
