However, epithelial cell rests of Malassez, located in the periodontal ligament, appear as the more promising source of epithelial stem cells. Studies in animals have shown that transplanted ...

The epithelial–mesenchymal transition is the process by which polarised epithelial cells that are connected via adhesion lose their characteristics and acquire migratory and invasive properties ...

To this end, it is important to know if you have precancerous cells so that you can be regularly monitored, whether the cells are removed or not. The majority of cancers (roughly 85%) develop in ...

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have generated human stem cell models which contain notochord -- a tissue in the developing embryo that acts like a navigation system, directing cells where to build ...

In addition to the finding that GnRH can target S100A4 to inhibit endometrial epithelial cells proliferation, it was also found that endometrial cells were in poor condition and experienced cell death ...

Shape changes of epithelia during animal development, such as convergent extension, are achieved through the concerted mechanical activity of individual cells. While much is known about the ...

Cells in the immune system don't always fight; they often rest and wait for threats, like viruses or bacteria. When such threats emerge, the cells activate to defend the body. This delicate ...

Dec. 16, 2024 — Researchers have uncovered unexpected diversity in the genetic processes that determine the sex of the African clawed frog, a significant discovery in what was already one of the ...

Cells in the immune system don't always fight; they often rest and wait for threats, like viruses or bacteria. When such threats emerge, the cells activate to defend the body.

When a person thinks, speaks, eats, walks, or just sits comfortably with all bodily systems functioning normally, the billions of cells that make up the brain and the rest of the nervous system ...
