Elaborate observations reveal the structural specialization within an epithelial layer covering oocytes in the Japanese ...

Researchers explore the cellular and molecular adaptations associated with human secondary lymphoid tissue in adults during ...

AFTER studying the existence of the semi-squamous epithelial layer in the gastric and intestinal mucosæ of different mammals, we were curious to know if a similar layer was present in the ...

The epithelial cells that line our surfaces exist as single or multiple layers with flat, columnar or cuboidal appearance, depending on the tissue. Many epithelia are often exposed to physical ...

That story begins in the outer layer of body tissue, called the epithelium. Headon’s team ultimately found that fingerprints start out looking very similar to hair follicles: Both begin as small discs ...

These models include humanized stem cell-derived in vitro systems that recreate the epithelial cell layer makeup and morphology. 2 Towards this end, scientists increasingly employ monolayer systems.

Barrett's esophagus is an acquired metaplastic abnormality in which the normal stratified squamous epithelium lining of the esophagus is replaced by an intestinal-like columnar epithelium.
