Several studies have demonstrated that women with BRCA mutations have, on average, 50% fewer ciliated cells compared with general women. However, the role of tubal cilia loss in the development of ...
The volume is split into three distinct but interwoven themes: 1. Biology: Biological preliminaries for the study of cilia; the state-of-the-art in genetic engineering of ciliated cells for biomedical ...
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 ...
Department of Medicine, University of Erlangen-Nuremberg, Hartmannstrasse 14, 91 054 Erlangen, Germany; christoph.becker{at}uk-erlangen.de Intestinal epithelial cells (IEC) are organised as a single ...
Focusing on HNSCC, a significant decrease in ciliated cells number was found in oral leucoplakia, and almost no ciliated cells were reported in OSCC when these tissues were compared with normal oral ...
Aim: To determine the transcriptional proximity of retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) cells grown under different culture conditions and native RPE. Methods: ARPE-19 cells were grown under five ...
Dysregulation in innate immune signalling pathways is associated with severe inflammatory diseases, but the responsiveness of GI epithelial cells to bacterial stimulation remains unclear. Design We ...
eLife is a non-profit organisation inspired by research funders and led by scientists. Our mission is to help scientists accelerate discovery by operating a platform for research communication that ...
METHOD Ciliated epithelium was obtained by brushing the inferior nasal turbinate of 20 healthy subjects. Ciliated edges were observed by microscopy and the deviation of cilia during their recovery ...
