Corresponding to the primary function of epithelial tissues, i. e. forming a barrier between compartments, epithelial cells form tight adhesions between each other, and display only lateral mobility, confined by the basement membrane.

Inside the epithelial cell, the tail of E-cadherin binds to a protein called α - catenin, which recruits other proteins that spur assembly and disassembly of actin filaments and is absolutely critical for strong adherence between epithelial cells.

Our Intestine - Chip also allows researchers to culture intestinal epithelial cells alongside other cell types, such as immune cells, and analyze how these different cell types interact.

Scientists taking a close look at how a dangerous food - borne bacterium invades the gut have identified a new culprit, a molecule that normally helps hold the intestinal lining and other sheets of epithelial cells together.

Data from the laboratory shows that signals from these molecules through their receptors control the activities and long - term survival of T cells, as well as affecting the activities of other cell types including dendritic cells, macrophages, and epithelial cells.

The role of these molecules in driving disease pathology might vary, with described activities of HVEM signaling promoting T cell expansion or survival, analogous to certain activities of OX40 and 4 - 1BB, and other activities of HVEM or LTβR increasing the function of diverse cells such as stromal cells, dendritic cells, macrophages, eosinophils, epithelial cells and keratinocytes.
