Internalization of POS is observed in a single optical y - axis projection (< 1 µm) of pigmented iPS - RPE cells labelled with
the apical cell surface marker ATP1B1 (red).

These organoids form all of the
cell types present in human intestine, but they grow as cysts surrounded by thick extracellular matrix gels with their «
apical»
cell surface (which is normally exposed to the content of the gut) facing an enclosed lumen.
Following this,
cells undergo shape changes and organise around a central lumen, with their
apical (top)
surfaces facing the lumen, the basal (bottom)
surfaces interacting with the underlying tissue and the lateral (side)
surfaces in close contact with the neighbouring
cells.
In the Intestine Chip, the epithelium forms villi - like projections lined by polarized epithelial
cells that undergo multi-lineage differentiation similar to that of intestinal organoids, however, these
cells expose their
apical surfaces to an open lumen and interface with endothelium.
aRG
cells are highly elongated, extending a basal process all the way to the pial
surface of the developing brain and an
apical process that remains in contact with the ventricular
surface (Fig. 1).
In response to extracellular matrix signalling, these
cells undergo epithelialization and create an
apical surface in contact with a cavity, a fundamental event for all subsequent development.
The
apical surface of the RPE
cells is identified by ATP1B1 (red).
Primary kidney epithelial
cells isolated from human proximal tubule are cultured on the upper
surface of an extracellular matrix - coated, porous, polyester membrane that splits the main channel of the device into two adjacent channels, thereby creating an
apical «luminal» channel and a basal «interstitial» space.
Enzymes are stored in zymogen granules within the acinar
cell in the presence of pancreatic secretory trypsin inhibitor (PSTI) and are released at the
apical surface directly into the duct system.
B. Focus on the
apical surface of the ciliated epithelial
cell.
A. Microscopic view of the respiratory mucosa consisting of ciliated epithelial
cells (i.e. presence of cilia at their
apical surface).
