How do individual cells organize into multicellular tissues? Here, we propose that the morphogenetic behaviour of epithelial cells is guided by two distinct elements: an intrinsic differentiation ...

Japanese researchers have generated lung cells directly from mouse tissue. These lung cells are called Alveolar Epithelial ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich are developing a model in the lab made from human breast milk cells. They hope it will help them understand how breast milk is made—a little-researched area of female biology ...

Fibroblasts reprogrammed into AT2-like lung cells in just 7–10 days, offering a faster, safer alternative to stem cell ...

Researchers in Japan have successfully generated lung cells similar to alveolar epithelial type 2 (AT2) cells from mouse ...

Tissue-engineered epithelial-cell sheets were fabricated ex vivo by culturing harvested cells for two weeks on temperature-responsive cell-culture surfaces with 3T3 feeder cells that had been ...

The study uncovers how ovarian ECM tropism influences endometriotic cell adhesion, paving the way for novel strategies to ...

Yu, a cell-culture expert, grew a single layer of human epithelial cells on the chip, which detected minute electric shifts.

Fingerprints are one of the best-recognized examples of pattern formation by epithelial cells. The primary cells in the epithelium are the keratinocytes, and they are known to form patterns at the ...

Epithelial conversation An epithelial cell-coated microelectrode array with 60 precisely placed electrodes detects the minute electric signals generated when the cells are injured. (Courtesy: UMass ...
