Murine amniotic fluid stem cells contribute mesenchymal but not epithelial components to reconstituted mammary ducts [PDF]
, 2010 Introduction: Amniotic fluid harbors cells indicative of all three germ layers, and pluripotent fetal amniotic fluid stem cells (AFSs) are considered potentially valuable for applications in cellular therapy and tissue engineering.

Vesicular traffic in polarized epithelial cells : identification and characterization of general and epithelial specific factors [PDF]
, 1994 Polarized epithelial cells are differentiated into apical and basolateral plasma membrane domains separated by tight junctions. The apical cell surface usually faces the external milieu, the basolateral domain provides cell-cell and cell-substratum ...

Characterization of the spatio-temporal dynamics in thymic epithelial development [PDF]
, 2015 The work presented in this thesis is centered on the development and maturation of the epithelial compartment in the murine thymus and consequently its functional capacity to promote normal thymopoiesis. Two main aspects have been investigated in depth:

Function of Gata-2 in thymic epithelial cells : a transcription factor identified from gene expression analysis of endodermal cells committed to thymic epithelial cell fate [PDF]
, 2010 The thymus structure composes of clear morphological regions. The T-cell precursors enter the thymus in the cortico-medullary junction and migrate through the cortex towards the sub capsular region and back through to the cortex into the medulla.

A genome‐wide RNAi screen reveals essential therapeutic targets of breast cancer stem cells
EMBO Molecular Medicine, 2019 Therapeutic resistance is a major clinical challenge in oncology. Evidence identifies cancer stem cells (CSCs) as a driver of tumor evolution. Accordingly, the key stemness property unique to CSCs may represent a reservoir of therapeutic target to ...

Interactions of intestinal epithelial cells with bacterial extracellular products [PDF]
The enteric microflora represents one of the densest microbial populations in the biological world; as a consequence, the intestinal immune system is constantly exposed to high concentrations of antigenic materials. One of the major frontline defences in
