Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called junctions. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

but the same junctions also exist in a wide range of other tissues. The side surfaces of epithelial cells are tightly linked to those of neighboring cells, forming a sheet that acts as a barrier.

Researchers study how auditory epithelial cells in chicks simultaneously coordinate position and orientation to arrange ...

Both cell junctions and cytoskeletal networks help stabilize tissue architecture. For instance, the cells that make up human epithelial tissue attach to one another through several types of ...

We studied altogether 50 samples representing human cervical disease of different grades, together with four samples representing normal squamous epithelium and two from columnar cervical epithelium.

Epithelial cells, the most abundant cells in the body, line internal organs and the outmost layer of the skin. These cells ...

Ultrastructural studies of centipede and other myriapod ovaries reveal direct soma-germline contact across the basement ...

Claudin-6 (CLDN6) is a protein found in the tight junctions of epithelial cells to modulate their permeability and barrier function, among other actions.

The mechanisms that cause these symptoms are not fully understood. The stress of heat and oxidative damage during exercise causes disruption to intestinal epithelial cell tight junction proteins ...
