Components of the intestinal mucosal mechanical barrier. The mechanical barrier is made up of the mucus layer, intestinal epithelial cells, tight junctions between cells and the mucosal lamina ...

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition is the process by which polarised epithelial cells that are connected via adhesion lose their characteristics and acquire migratory and invasive properties ...

Objective Previous studies have shown that ulcerative colitis (UC) is associated with the presence of lamina propria non-invariant (Type II) NKT cells producing IL-13 and mediating epithelial cell ...

Conclusion We conclude that the epithelial innate immune barrier follows a specific pattern per GI segment. The majority of the expression patterns and the function of TLR4 is encoded in the ...

Aim: To determine the transcriptional proximity of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells grown under different culture conditions and native RPE. Methods: ARPE-19 cells were grown under five ...

because the remaining Dsg3 can completely maintain cell–cell adhesion of the mucosal epithelium. In mucosal-dominant type of pemphigus vulgaris, epidermal damage is relatively weak because of ...

You will be redirected to our submission process. The mucosal barrier of the host is composed of the epithelium lining, underneath immune cells, as well as the inflammation responses and secreted ...

Our mission is to provide a state-of-the-art facility, expertise, and education in advanced quantitative light microscopy to support Drexel University’s research community The Cell Imaging Center (CIC ...

Here we bio-printed mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) using a commonly used bioink sodium alginate-gelatin blends, and investigated the induction effect of MSC differentiation towards lens epithelial stem ...
