Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells, which form a barrier that defends the body from the outside ...

Both cell junctions and cytoskeletal networks help stabilize tissue architecture. For instance, the cells that make up human epithelial tissue attach to one another through several types of ...

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest form of gynecologic cancer, taking the lives of more than 13,000 women in the U.S. each year. The most common type, high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC), is ...

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called 'junctions'. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...

Researchers at the University of Pittsburgh have identified a novel trigger of a deadly form of ovarian cancer: a subset of progenitor cells that reside in fallopian tube supportive tissue, or stroma.

Epithelial organ development is achieved through inductive interactions between different tissue types, typically between epithelial and mesenchymal tissues. Although the signaling pathways regulating ...
