Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the body's organs—can respond to death and destruction with a burst of ...

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, ...

Bronchial asthma (asthma) is a respiratory disease characterized by chronic inflammation, airway hyperresponsiveness, and airway remodeling. Numerous studies have delved into asthma’s pathogenesis, ...

Melanoma anatomical poster, skin cancer development. Malignant tumor growth into the skin layers from epidermis to other internal organs. Diagnostic and treatment in dermatology clinic flat vector ...

A distinct signaling pathway called TNF- drives the transformation of epithelial cells into aggressive tumor cells. During cancer progression, cells activate their own TNF- program and become invasive ...

This study presents a cellular automaton model to study the dynamics of virus-induced signalling and innate host defense against viruses such as SARS-CoV-2 in epithelial tissue. The simulations and ...

This important study provides new insights into the development and function of medullary thymus epithelial cells (mTEC). The authors provide compelling evidence to support their claims as to the ...

Airway epithelial cells play central roles in protecting the lung against pathogens, allergens, and environmental hazards by releasing inflammatory mediators, surfactant, and mediating mucociliary ...
