To our surprise, however, we found that wounded epithelial cells can propagate electrical signals across dozens of cells that persist for several hours. In this newly published research ...

"Epithelial cells do things that no one has ever thought to look for," says Granick. "When injured, they 'scream' to their neighbors, slowly, persistently and over surprising distances. It's like ...

Autopsies indicated that CAR T cells had accumulated within the lung tissue, particularly in benign pulmonary epithelial cells. The observed pulmonary dysfunction is believed to result from the local ...

That's because dry air, like cold air, also messes with epithelial cells. In this case, it stops tiny fingerlike projections, called cilia, that stick out from the cells from wiggling around and ...

Medical illustration depicting Respiratory cilia ... cells. Each cell is in contact with the basement membrane. Found in respiratory tract, prostate, endometrium. Vector illustration Illustration of ...

In 1957 Suk Chul Chang 6 reported on the pathological changes in the bronchial epithelium ... ciliated cells must constantly be bathed in physiologic wetness. Dryness rapidly injures the cilia ...

Here, using a simple model system, we show that ciliated surfaces ... functions that extend well beyond the cilia tips (Fig. 1A). In particular, we present an example of an internal mucociliary ...

The trachea ends at a ridge of cartilage that separates and forms the junction into the bronchi (carina). Mucosal membranes are made up of epithelial cells, mucus-secreting goblet cells, and hair-like ...

Epithelial cells come in several shapes to form different types of epithelial membranes. These types include: Columnar Cubical Squamous (flat) Irregular Ciliated (hair-like) Epithelial tissues ...

Epithelial cells line various surfaces of the body, including the skin, blood vessels, organs, and urinary tract. A raised amount of epithelial cells in a person’s urine may indicate an ...

The researchers found that "ever" smokers, in contrast to "never" smokers, had upregulated ANO1 expression in airway epithelial cells. Similarly, airway epithelial cells in a bronchoalveolar ...

In a Scientific Reports study, University of Alabama at Birmingham researchers show how a low dose of cadmium produces a deleterious stress in lung epithelial cells, and their findings highlight ...
