Attachment of Human Epithelial Cells to an Anodized Titanium Surface

open access: yesMaterials
The attachment of the oral epithelium to the abutment surface is crucial for the long-term success of dental implants. This study aimed to evaluate the attachment of human epithelial cells to anodized titanium surfaces. Anodized titanium discs were used as the experimental group, while machined titanium discs served as the control.

The fungicide Mancozeb reduces spheroid attachment onto endometrial epithelial cells through downregulation of estrogen receptor β and integrin β3 in Ishikawa cells

open access: yesEcotoxicology and Environmental Safety, 2021
Mancozeb is a metal-containing ethylene bis-dithiocarbamate fungicide widely used in agriculture. Ethylene thiourea (ETU) is the primary metabolite of Mancozeb.

Artificial intelligence-based analysis of time-lapse images of sphere formation and process of plate adhesion and spread of pancreatic cancer cells

open access: yesFrontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2023
Background: Most pancreatic cancers are pancreatic ductal adenocarcinomas (PDAC). Spherical morphology formed in three-dimensional (3D) cultures and the effects of anticancer drugs differ between epithelial and mesenchymal PDAC cell lines.

Epithelial junctions and attachments [PDF]

open access: yesWormBook, 2006
A distinctive feature of polarized epithelial cells is their specialized junctions, which contribute to cell integrity and provide platforms to orchestrate cell shape changes. The chapter discusses the composition and assembly of C. elegans cell-cell and cell-extracellular matrix junctions, proteins that anchor the cytoskeleton and mechanisms involved ...

The adenomatous polyposis coli protein unambiguously localizes to microtubule plus-ends and is involved in establishing parallel arrays of microtubule bundles in highly polarised epithelial cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Loss of full-length adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) protein correlates with the development of colon cancers in familial and sporadic cases. In addition to its role in regulating ß-catenin levels in the Wnt signaling pathway, the APC protein is ...

Bacterial-epithelial contact is a key determinant of host innate immune responses to enteropathogenic and enteroaggregative escherichia coli [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Background: Enteropathogenic (EPEC) and Enteroaggregative (EAEC) E. coli have similar, but distinct clinical symptoms and modes of pathogenesis. Nevertheless when they infect the gastrointestinal tract, it is thought that their flagellin causes IL-8 ...

Serine protease EspP from enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli is sufficient to induce shiga toxin macropinocytosis in intestinal epithelium. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
Life-threatening intestinal and systemic effects of the Shiga toxins produced by enterohemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC) require toxin uptake and transcytosis across intestinal epithelial cells.
