Isolation of Nasal Brush Cells for Single-cell Preparations
Solitary chemosensory epithelial cells are scattered in most mucosal surfaces. They are referred to as tuft cells in the intestinal mucosa, brush cells in the trachea, and solitary chemosensory and microvillous cells in the nasal mucosa.

A new fate for old cells: brush cells and related elements [PDF]
AbstractOver the past 50 years, hundreds of studies have described those cells that are characterized by a brush of rigid apical microvilli with long rootlets, and which are found in the digestive and respiratory apparatuses. These cells have been given names such as brush cells, tuft cells, fibrillovesicular cells, multivesicular cells and caveolated ...

MYO1A (Brush Border Myosin I) Dynamics in the Brush Border of LLC-PK1-CL4 Cells [PDF]
The kidney epithelial cell line, LLC-PK1-CL4 (CL4), forms a well ordered brush border (BB) on its apical surface. CL4 cells were used to examine the dynamics of MYO1A (M1A; formerly BB myosin I) within the BB using GFP-tagged MIA (GFP-M1A), MIA motor domain (GFP-MDIQ), and tail domain (GFP-Tail).

Multi-Channel Signals in Dynamic Force-Clamp Mode of Microcantilever Sensors for Detecting Cellular Peripheral Brush [PDF]
The development of numerous diseases, such as renal cyst, cancer, and viral infection, is closely associated with the pathological changes and defects in the cellular peripheral brush.

Comparison of five conjunctival cytology sampling methods in normal cat eyes [PDF]
Background and Aim: Ophthalmological cytology is an easy, informative, rapid, and commonly-used low-cost diagnostic method, but sample collection and preparation are essential steps in obtaining qualitative material for cytological evaluation. This study
