Routine histology and immunohistochemistry to assess the number ... As the phosphorylation status of OCLN has been linked to its distribution in epithelial cells,28 we assessed OCLN staining by ...

Design We assessed the genomic distribution and function of VD receptor (VDR) and STAT6 using histology, molecular imaging, motif discovery and metagenomic analysis. We examined the role of VD ...

To enhance the potential of LCM and to overcome some of the limitations of other methods, we have developed a rapid, simple procedure for enrichment of normal and tumor cells called epithelial ...

Background: Although a plethora of studies have employed multiple gallbladder cancer (GBC) cell lines, it is surprisingly noted that there is still lack of a normal gallbladder epithelial cell line as ...

The histology of intestinal epithelium is in the form of crypt-villus-like structures. The intestinal stem cells (ISCs), which are localized at the base of the crypts, play a critical role in the fast ...

we find that progenitor cells are the principal targets of ageing, whereas the function of individual mature thymic epithelial cells is compromised only modestly. Specifically, an early-life precursor ...

The follicle stem cells (FSCs) in the Drosophila ovary are an important experimental model for the study of epithelial stem cell biology. Although decades of research support the conclusion that there ...
