My current research project uses stem cell organogenesis to examine H. pylori infection in the human stomach and determine whether infection upregulates epithelial ST6Gal-I expression, a ...

The fine control of cell mechanics Date: March 20, 2025 Source: Université de Genève Summary: Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This 'barrier' tissue performs its ...

because the remaining Dsg3 can completely maintain cell–cell adhesion of the mucosal epithelium. In mucosal-dominant type of pemphigus vulgaris, epidermal damage is relatively weak because of ...

Observations of electrical signal propagation across colonies of epithelial cells suggest they may be able to communicate, ...

The electric skin cell signals, which move at glacial pace compared to those in nerve cells, may play a role in initiating healing.

Our skin and mucous membranes are protected by epithelial cells. This barrier tissue performs its function thanks to specialized structures called junctions. They ensure cell cohesion and regulate ...
