Scientific Reports, 2017 Integrin beta8 (ITGB8) is involved in the endometrial receptivity. The blastocyst first interacts with the luminal endometrial epithelial cells during its implantation; therefore, we have investigated the signaling of ITGB8 via FAK and VAV-RAC1 in the ...

Anterior lens epithelial cells attachment to the basal lamina [PDF]
Acta Ophthalmologica, 2014 AbstractPurposeTo study the structure of the anterior lens epithelial cells (aLECs) and the contacts of the aLECs with the basal lamina (BL) in order to understand their role in the lens epithelium's function.MethodsThe aLCs (BL and associated aLECs) were obtained from routine uneventful cataract surgery, prepared for and studied by scanning electron ...

Dynamic interactions of a conserved enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli adhesin with intestinal mucins govern epithelium engagement and toxin delivery [PDF]
, 2016 At present, there is no vaccine for enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC), an important cause of diarrheal illness. Nevertheless, recent microbial pathogenesis studies have identified a number of molecules produced by ETEC that contribute to its ...

Intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prostheses versus dental implants: A comparison between keratinocyte and gingival epithelial cell adhesion in vitro [PDF]
European Cells & Materials, 2015 Infection is the primary failure modality for transcutaneous implants because the skin breach provides a route for pathogens to enter the body. Intraosseous transcutaneous amputation prostheses (ITAP) are being developed to overcome this problem by ...

Attachment of Two Myxoviruses to Ciliated Epithelial Cells
Journal of General Virology, 1970 Summary It is thought that influenza and related viruses enter susceptible cells, such as those of tissue cultures and the chorioallantois, by being adsorbed to the surface and then taken in by an active process termed ‘viropexis’. It has been suggested that this active process resembles phagocytosis (Fazekas de St Groth 1948).

No strings attached: new insights into epithelial morphogenesis [PDF]
BMC Biology, 2012 The dramatic ingression of tissue sheets that accompanies many morphogenetic processes, most notably gastrulation, has been largely attributed to contractile circum-apical actomyosin 'purse-strings' in the infolding cells. Recent studies, however, including one in BMC Biology, expose mechanisms that rely less on actomyosin contractility of purse-string

So far, yet so close: α-Catenin dimers help migrating cells get together [PDF]
, 2017 Epithelial cells in tissues use their actin cytoskeletons to stick together, whereas unattached cells make active plasma membrane protrusions to migrate. In this issue, Wood et al. (2017. J. Cell Biol. https://doi.org/10.1083/jcb.201612006) show that the
