"Epithelial" refers to the thin layer of cells that cover the surfaces and line the cavities of our body, like the skin and organs.

The research team, led by Georgia State University and the University of Michigan, wanted to understand how a wound heals in the intestine because in IBD, which includes Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, damage to the intestinal
epithelial barrier allows bacteria in the intestine to go across the barrier and stimulate the body's immune system.
When the immune system gets triggered it causes an inflammatory reaction to occur within the
lung epithelial tissue.

epithelial layer of the cornea becomes damaged.

epithelial tubes in a broad evolutionary context.
Their work demonstrate the close interaction
between epithelial stem cells and the niche that regulates them.

gut epithelial damage during early viral invasion.
In the new study, DrugPredict suggested non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, also known as NSAIDs, could have applications
for epithelial ovarian cancer.
Whitehead Institute researchers have identified signals impinging on
breast epithelial cells that can induce those cells to acquire and stably display migratory and self - renewing characteristics.
A scanning electron micrograph shows the mucosal surface of a gerbil's small intestine, which is almost entirely obscured by Giardia that have infested the intestinal
epithelial surface.
Stage I lactogenesis, or secretory initiation, occurs during pregnancy and is defined by the differentiation of mammary
alveolar epithelial cells into specialized secretory cells, termed lactocytes (1).
Many of the fundamental processes of life rely on biological structures known
as epithelial tubes.
In the Xu study, the team's protocol succeeded in turning over 25 % of the iPSCs
into epithelial stem cells in 18 days.
In addition, treatment with Korean red ginseng extract suppressed the expression of RSV - induced inflammatory genes and the formation of chemically reactive molecules containing oxygen, which play a role in virus -
induced epithelial damage in RSV.
Similar to primary keratinocytes, long - term — cultured squamous cell carcinoma (30) and many
other epithelial cancer cells (30, 31) can also form different types of clones in culture.
The researchers exposed patient -
derived epithelial ovarian cancer cells growing in their laboratory to a specific NSAID, indomethacin, and confirmed the DrugPredict finding.
Apparently it can accumulate due to maldigestion or bacterial overgrowth and cause serious
epithelial damage.
What: The Second Edition of the IASLC Staging Manual in Thoracic Oncology reports on the latest revisions of the tumor, node and metastasis (TNM) classifications of thoracic malignancies, namely, lung cancer, malignant pleural mesothelioma, carcinoma of the esophagus and of the esophago - gastric junction and

epithelial hyperplasia during the period of soy feeding, a condition that presages breast cancer.
TERT
promotes epithelial proliferation through transcriptional control of a Myc - and Wnt - related developmental program.
The human endogenous intestinal microflora is an essential «organ» in providing nourishment,
regulating epithelial development, and instructing innate immunity; yet, surprisingly, basic features remain poorly described.
This finding is consistent with animal and experimental studies that have demonstrated that testosterone stimulates mammary
epithelial proliferation by serving as a precursor of estrogen (61, 62) and as a ligand to androgen receptors (63 — 65).
