Multicellularity has its advantages. By functioning as an organized community, cells can exploit resources and carry out functions that would be impossible as single cells. Nature is replete with ...

Researchers have discovered a way to help aging intestines heal themselves using CAR T-cell therapy. By targeting senescent ...

The proteins that finely control epithelial cell polarity are known as tumour suppressors or proto-oncoproteins. Loss of epithelial cell polarity — through deregulation of these proteins — is crucial ...

What is the Epithelial Barrier? The epithelial barrier is made by the epithelial cells that are closely arranged and cover outer and inner surfaces of organs. As a barrier it separates the internal ...

Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, our skin tissue—and in fact many types of epithelial tissue that lines and covers the ...

Epithelial cells line the body’s surfaces to protect against physical damage, pathogens, and dehydration. These cells play key roles in absorbing nutrients and removing waste products, as well as ...

Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is a debilitating hereditary condition in which fluid-filled sacs form and proliferate in the kidneys. Over time, the ...

Researchers have developed a new prediction tool that could help clinicians better assess whether complete tumour removal is ...
