UC San Diego researchers have identified the molecular and cellular mechanisms that transform healthy stem cells into oral cancer at the earliest stages of the disease ...

the team generated an atlas of around 250,000 normal and cancerous epithelial cells that line the lungs by studying genetic ...

A better understanding of inflammation and lung immunity over the past two decades has led to new, innovative treatments for ...

Navin and his team analyzed more than 83,000 breast epithelial cells from 49 healthy women who ... "We did not expect to find these chromosomal events in normal breast tissues," Navin said.

As an example, consider the epithelial cells that line the ... The orderly demise of a certain proportion of cells is therefore necessary for normal tissue turnover and maintenance of homeostasis.

TGF-β is a multi-functional cytokine responsible for regulating growth and differentiation of a wide variety of cell types and tissues. It is a potent inhibitor of normal epithelial cell proliferation ...

In this manuscript the authors established a novel three-dimensional culture system for stratified epithelia that allows epithelial cells to undergo epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and ...

Nearly 60,000 people are diagnosed with oral cancer in the U.S. every year, according to the American Cancer Society, and the ...
