Attachment of Human Epithelial Cells to an Anodized Titanium Surface
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.

Epithelial junctions and attachments [PDF]
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]
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]
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]
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.
