Ependymomas originate from
the epithelium lining the ventricles and central canal of the spinal cord.
This, in turn, damages the membranes of
the epithelium lining, alters the composition of intestinal flora, and potentially initiates an autoimmune response.
The colonic mucus barrier is produced by specialized cells in our gut
epithelium lining that secrete mucin.
The human olfactory
epithelium lines the roof of the nasal cavity, part of the nasal septum and the superior turbinates and may extend to the middle turbinates.

linings of ectodermic origin, covered in
epithelium, and are involved in absorption and secretion.

line many organs.

lining called the retinal pigment
epithelium (RPE), which shuttles nutrients to the photoreceptor cells and is vital for their survival.

lines the
epithelium.

lined with sensory tissue, the olfactory
epithelium, that contains various types of cells, all of which arise from olfactory stem cells (green).
The current study just looked at cells of the

lining (
epithelium) of human airways and exposed them to Alternaria.
These stem cells live in the
lining of the intestine, known as the
epithelium, and generate all of the different cell types that make up the

The
lining or

The team then selected cells from these organoids and placed them inside the Intestine - Chips, which are about the size of AA batteries and re-create the natural microenvironment of the human intestine, including the intestinal
epithelium — the layer of cells that forms the
lining of both the small and large intestines.
Type I mucosal surfaces
line the upper rectum and consist of a single layer of tightly joined, simple columnar
epithelium, while type II mucosal surfaces
line the lower rectum and anus and consist of multiple layers of stratified squamous
epithelium.
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.
Most HNSCCA begins in the layer of flat cells (the
epithelium) which
line the structures of the upper aerodigestive tract, including the mouth (oral cavity), throat (pharynx), and voice box (larynx).

lining the respiratory tract, which moistens and protects the airway and functions as a barrier to potential pathogens and foreign particles;
Important features of XMRV biology include (1) tropism for a variety of cell
lines, including prostate cancer DU145 and LNCaP cells [27], [43], [48], and human neural cell types [57], (2) adaptations that promote growth in prostate
epithelium and human - derived prostate cancer cell
lines including an androgen response element in the promoter region [58] and downregulation of APOBEC3G [59], and (3) cellular effects with potential oncogenic properties including increased tumor aggressiveness mediated by downregulation of p27 [60] and differential regulation of several microRNAs [61].

line of digestion and defense by nourishing rather than degrading our
epithelium is key to robust health thus robust performance.

lined by keratinizing squamous
